Closed-Loop System Implementation:
The company must use a closed-loop system for recycling rigid plastics (e.g., PET to rPET, HDPE to rHDPE).
Sustainable Sourcing & Production:
Materials must come from post-consumer waste and be processed into recyclable forms, with transparency in sourcing and end-of-life management.
Innovation in Recycling:
Preference will be given to companies that employ innovative recycling technologies or reduce carbon emissions in the process.
Environmental Impact & Certification:
Evidence of reduced environmental impact (e.g., lower CO₂ emissions) and certifications like ISO 14001 will be considered.
Market Application:
The products must be market-ready and demonstrate real-world use in promoting circularity.
