The world is awake to the problem of plastic use and waste. By 2060, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) predicts that 44 million tons of plastic will leak into the earth, rivers and seas every year, devastating the environment and creating toxin concentrations in food chains that endanger human and animal health.
At SGS, we understand the problems surrounding plastics. Our experts work with businesses in all industry sectors – from apparel, plastic packaging and containers, and resin manufacturing to retail – providing comprehensive testing, certification and consultancy services to help them develop closed-loop systems with less reliance on virgin plastics.
Built on a four-pillar framework of reduction and prevention, plastic packaging, recycled and recycling, and process/product certification, our services help businesses accomplish their short- and long-term sustainability goals and advance their contribution to the circular economy. With independent, scientific assessment against internationally recognized standards, communicated via SGS Green Marks, we can also help businesses visualize their sustainability effort, build consumer trust in their products and empower competitive advantage in regulated markets.
