Materials with evidence

Make material claims specific, current and verifiable.

Compare materials with protection, production and destination requirements instead of relying on broad environmental language.

Why it matters

A material statement is only useful when its scope is clear.

Certification, recycled-content and recyclability information is provided only when supporting documents apply to the selected product and market.

What to expect

Identify the actual substrate, coating and component structure.

Connect claims to current certificates or supplier documents.

Clarify where the statement is intended to apply.

Reconfirm claims when materials, suppliers or validity dates change.
