Key to Recycled Product Codes
The recycled product code symbols used on this web site are based, in part, on Recycled Content Certification Standards established by Scientific Certification Systems and manufacturers' information. Scientific Certification Systems is a neutral, third-party environmental certification organization.
Founded in 1984, Scientific Certification Systems' mission has been to spur the private and public sectors toward more environmentally sustainable policy planning, product design, management systems and production operations.

What the Symbols
Mean |
 Post
Consumer Waste
A product or package which has been discarded by an
individual, commercial enterprise, or other public or private entity
after having fulfilled its intended application or use. The number
inside the symbol indicates the percentage of post consumer waste in
the product. If no number appears in the symbol, the amount of
recycled content is not known or could not be verified.
|
|
 Post
Industrial Waste
A material which
has been generated as a by-product of a given process which has
properties significantly different than those of the original material
and therefore, in its current form, cannot be recycled back through
the same general process. The number inside the symbol indicates
the percentage of post industrial waste in the product. If no number
appears in the symbol, the amount of recycled content is not known
or could not be verified.
|
 Industrial
Scrap
In contrast to post-industrial
waste, industrial scrap is material which has been generated as a
by-product of a given process which has properties allowing it to
be recycled back through the same general process. The number
inside the symbol indicates the percentage of industrial scrap in
the product. If no number appears in the symbol, the amount of recycled
content is not known or could not be verified. |
 Pre-Consumer
Materials
This category includes materials and by-products or scrap from
industry that have not yet reached a consumer or business for their
use. These materials are reused within the same manufacturing process.
The number inside the symbol indicates the percentage of recycled
content in the product. If no number appears in the symbol, the amount
of recycled content is not known or could not be verified. |
 Recovered
Materials
This classification refers to the universe of materials that
count as recycled content, both pre-consumer and post-consumer. It
is consistent with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's definition
which includes all materials produced after the initial process. If
no number appears in the symbol, the amount of recycled content is
not known or could not be verified. |
 Recycled
Content (Uncertified)
The number inside the symbol indicates
the percentage of recycled content in the product. If no number appears
in the symbol, the amount of recycled content is not known or could
not be verified. |
