Packaging comes in many forms and for many purposes, including boxes, cartons, bags, food packaging, moulded plastic etc. For these applications, the materials most commonly used are plastic, paper and cardboard. When looking for environmental attributes of products in this range, one option is to look for post-consumer recycled content. For example, some of the suppliers listed on this website sell plastic packaging material that has been manufactured from post-consumer HDPE and PET.
ECO-Find is not an auditing or accreditation body.
Prior to listing on ECO-Find, ECO-Buy requires suppliers of green products and services to provide evidence that they meet the relevant ECO-Find criteria. While all effort is made to verify claims made by suppliers, ultimately the claims are made by the supplier and not by ECO-Buy.
ECO-Find does not assess either environmental or non environmental attributes of listed products and services beyond those contained in the criteria. All statements made on a supplier's ECO-Find listing are made by the supplier and not by ECO-Buy.
Users should note that while products and services listed on ECO-Find meet ECO-Buy's environmental criteria at the time of listing, standards and technology continually change. While ECO-Buy has a program of updating its criteria over time and requires ECO-Find suppliers to keep their listings up to date, no responsibility is taken for listings that do not currently meet ECO-Buy's criteria or out of date.
