Description
The ReMade certification is a way to indicate the recycled content or byproduct used in a material or product.
It's a way to ensure traceability, provide a guarantee for the end user and stipulate what proportion of the product is made up of recovered materials. The label also explains the environmental impacts resulting from the recycling process, in terms of reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and energy saving in comparison with the production of the same item with raw materials.
The label can only be awarded by accredited certification bodies.
The website includes a catalogue of products awarded this certification.
