AVI Global Plast is now ISCC PLUS-certified. It is the mass balance approach, a transparent and measurable methodology, which forms the core of our ISCC PLUS certification.
Decoding The Mass Balance Approach
The mass balance approach allows manufacturers like us to make accurate claims about the sustainability of our products without necessitating the physical separation of materials during the manufacturing process.
Here’s How It Works:
Input materials: We start with a mix of recycled (pre-consumer and post-consumer waste) and virgin materials.
Tracking material flows: As these materials progress through our production process, we meticulously track and record their quantities and characteristics.
Calculating percentages: Using this data, we calculate the percentage of recycled materials incorporated into our products. This calculation is based on the actual quantities and characteristics of the materials used.
Attribution: The calculated percentage of recycled material is then attributed to our final products. This enables us to confidently assert that our products contain a specific percentage of recycled content.
Transparent record-keeping: The credibility of the mass balance approach hinges on our transparent and scrupulous record-keeping. Every step of the process is meticulously documented, establishing a clear and verifiable trail of evidence that supports the claimed percentages.
Gradual transition: The mass balance approach allows us to increase the use of recycled materials over time progressively. At AVI, we are ready with up to 100% rPET packaging.
Hence, when you choose an ISCC PLUS-certified supplier like AVI, you opt for rPET packaging solutions that are not only sustainable but also backed by a transparent and credible system. Our ISCC PLUS-certified processes guarantee the precise material composition of our products, helping you achieve your packaging sustainability objectives and comply with plastic tax laws.
