How can GRS EN15343 certified recyclable plastic bags offset plastic tax?

To offset plastic tax, certified recyclable plastic bags must be used. Recyclable plastic bags contain a certain percentage of recycled materials and have passed GRS and EN15343 certifications. They meet customer requirements, match the performance of virgin materials, and are made from truly environmentally friendly recycled materials.

1. The role of GRS EN15343 certification

Offsetting plastic tax;

Plastic bags contain 20%-100% high-quality recycled materials with a high recycled content, 100% Recyclable;

Clear and traceable raw material sources;

Endorsement by major third-party organizations Certification ；

Can provide TC Transaction certificates;

The recycled materials are of high quality and have good transparency;

The physical and chemical properties are similar to virgin materials; they are strong and durable, and have undergone multiple tests. Common REACH 、 ROHS 、 RSL and phthalate tests all comply with regulations and reports have been obtained.

It can effectively reduce carbon footprint and contribute to environmental protection.

2、 GRS Methods of using certificates to offset plastic tax

Global Recycled Standard GRS （ Global Recycled Standard ）is an international, voluntary, and comprehensive product standard that specifies third-party certification requirements for recycled content, chain of custody, social and environmental criteria, and chemical restrictions. GRS The goal is to increase the use of recycled materials in products and to reduce and eliminate the harm caused by their production. Today, GRS brands such as ZARA 、 H&M 、 ADIDAS Uniqlo, NIKE IKEA, GAP and others have set off a chain reaction across the entire industry, affecting all supply chains.

GRS The certification is a globally recognized recyclable certification. More than 20% recycled material content is required to apply for GRS certification; more than 50% recycled material is required to apply for printing the GRS Certification LOGO label. GRS LOGO Currently, brand certification and registration are required before printing can be done. GRS LOGO 。

GRS One important function of the certification is to clarify the recycled content: the proportion of recycled materials in the plastic bag by weight. The calculation of the recycled content is generally TC proven by the certificate! From the beginning of the raw materials, contracts, incoming materials, invoices, and other relevant records are required to apply for the TC certificate. Then, during the production process, a complete mass balance sheet must be recorded, that is, records of the production and flow process and quantity of all GRS materials. With the above information, plus relevant records and invoices for finished product delivery, an authoritative statistical table of recycled content in certificate form will be generated. Issuing TC this can serve as proof for fully offsetting plastic tax.

3、EN15343 Methods of using certificates to offset plastic tax

EN15343：2008 is a standard concerning plastic recycling. It is a standard that the EU must implement according to CEN/CENELEC internal regulations, mainly involving the traceability and conformity assessment of recycled plastics and recycled content. This standard assesses the traceability of the system to calculate the recycled content in plastic products. Plastic recycling is the recycling of the same material, aiming to save resources (reduce raw materials and energy consumption), while minimizing harmful emissions to air, water and soil, and any impact on human health.

According to CEN/CENELEC regulations, the following countries and organizations must implement this standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom.

EN15343 The certification is a universally recognized recyclable certification certificate in the EU, issued to Shunxingyuan Packaging. EN15343 The certification certificate includes AC marks, and is recognized by most countries and organizations in the EU. Using EN15343 certified recyclable plastic bag products requires strict adherence to the recycling ratio specified in the certificate. The factory must maintain a comprehensive balance sheet, ensuring that finished products correspond to raw materials. Providing raw material information (signed and sealed), finished product shipment information (signed and sealed), formal invoices (signed and sealed), and the certificate to customs allows for offsetting plastic taxes.
