Arbiters in Truth
Veracity in Recycled Content Claims
Green claims are often made with unfounded or weak verification. Our Recycled Content Standard exceeds the recommendations set out for the proposed new Directive on environmental labelling claims, and due to the use of nationally accredited certification bodies for auditing, is fully independent and traceable.
Our use of uniquely identifiable QR codes on products holds manufacturers accountable in a publicly visible manner.
A trusted Certification
Loop acts as an impartial authority, establishing and verifying the criteria against which a product’s environmental claims are evaluated. The establishment of such rigorous standards is the cornerstone of our role in maintaining the integrity of environmental claims. A product or service that meets the Loop's criteria can bear our certification mark, signalling to consumers that it adheres to genuine environmentally friendly practices. This mark is a beacon of trust in a world where false claims and greenwashing have become all too common.
Promoting a greener, sustainable future
The role of Loop extends beyond certification. We regularly review and update standards to keep pace with scientific advancements, economic and threats from fraudulent practices and changing environmental conditions. This ensures that products and services certified as environmentally friendly today will continue to uphold their promises in the future. By being the guardians of truth in environmental claims, we ensure that these claims remain valid and reliable.
