  • It is the first Italian and European label dedicated to recycled plastic;
  • Introduces the concept of quality in recycled plastics;
  • Introduces the concept of traceability of recycled materials;
  • Refers to the recycled percentages reported in the August 4, 2004 circular implementing DM 203/2003 on Green Public Procurement, and to the UNI EN ISO 14021 standard.
