Useful Tips | What is SCS certification? What are the benefits of certification?

Recycled Content Certification (SCS) is a certification program for the use of recycled materials proposed in 1989. The use of recycled materials is an important measure for low-carbon environmental protection. It is widely respected internationally and is an environmental protection strategy widely adopted and proficiently used by major manufacturers. It provides third-party recycled content certification and evaluation services for many industries and products. Certified products include various green building products, such as carpets, textiles, tiles, decorative materials, insulation materials and flooring; in addition, it also includes consumer products and retail projects, such as: paper, clothing, shopping bags, bags, jewelry and shipping containers.

When a company obtains recycled content certification, it will also obtain a certificate, namely the "SCS Kingfisher Mark - Recycled Content Declaration". The company can use the SCS Recyled Content Kingfisher Mark for market publicity and product promotion within the one-year certification validity period.

Kingfisher Certified Product Introduction: SCS provides companies with factory recycled and reused content declarations. Through a set of rigorous, scientific, standardized and quantitative certification steps, it effectively distinguishes "pre-consumer" and "post-consumer" recycled content, comprehensively monitors the production process of recycled products, effectively distinguishes recycled products from general original products, and ultimately determines the content of recycled components in the product, thereby enhancing your requirements and the credibility of the recycling ratio declaration in different markets.

Since it is currently impossible to confirm the recycled substances and their specific content in products through simple experimental tests, and the international market requires such products to have a "statement" on the recycled content, international third-party certification has become the entry permit for Chinese recycled products to enter the international market.
