Who Is the KiPlas-T Certification Scheme Designed For?

KiPlas-T represents an ideal framework for recyclers (waste plastic reclaimers) to ensure to manufacturers of any type of product that the flakes, pellets, or granules they provide are guaranteed for their traceability and recycled content.

For recyclers, traceability and certification of recycled content in plastic materials are critical elements to maintain quality and confidence in their supply chain. KiPlas-T offers a structured and reliable approach to achieve these goals.

What is the KiPlas-T Certification Scheme?

KiPlas-T is a certification scheme specifically designed to assess and verify the content and traceability of recycled plastic. Accredited by ENAC for quality and credibility, it adheres to ISO 17065 conformity assessment standards, ensuring internationally recognized procedures and criteria. Based on EN 15343, KiPlas-T provides guidelines for evaluating recycled plastic content accurately.

Firstly, KiPlas-T establishes clear and rigorous criteria for assessing and certifying the recycled content in the flakes, pellets, or granules produced by recyclers. This involves implementing assessment procedures that may include laboratory testing and audits in the production process to ensure that the required standards of recycled content are met.

Moreover, KiPlas-T addresses the traceability of recycled materials, which involves tracking and documenting the origin and transformation process of materials throughout the entire supply chain. This enables recyclers to demonstrate the provenance and history of recycled materials, from their initial collection to their transformation into flakes, pellets, or granules, thereby providing an additional guarantee of quality and authenticity to manufacturers of end products.

What are the benefits of a KiPlas-T certificate?

By obtaining KiPlas-T certification, recyclers can offer manufacturers the assurance that the recycled materials they supply meet the required standards of traceability and recycled content. This is essential for manufacturers to meet their own sustainability goals and corporate social responsibility by using recycled materials in the manufacturing of their products
