Remaining Time:
This is now important for your green claims:
By 27 March 2026, all 27 EU Member States must have transposed the requirements of the Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition Directive (EmpCo) into national law. Germany has already adapted its Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG) and published a draft. From 27 September onwards, companies must ensure that their sustainability claims (e.g., Plastic Free, Microplastic Free, Recycled, Recyclable,…) are clear, verifiable, and legally compliant, backed by independent third-party certification.
The requirements apply to all green claims, whether made on the product at the point of sale or across all media channels

Testimonials
“At Karibou, results drive progress. In 2021, we became one of the first paper cup maker to earn flustix certification. In 2025, we set a new global benchmark with one of the lowest polymer thresholds ever measured. Our cups are home compostable, recyclable and free from intentionally added PFAS — no excuses, no shortcuts. With a capacity of 1.5 billion cups a year produced in Barcelona, and further expanding every year, we pair advanced paperboard innovation with full-scale precision and traceability. We’re proud to be flustix certified.”
“The collaboration with flustix was very well-organised and solution-oriented. With a clear system and expert guidance, flustix ensured that we were able to implement the certification process in a clean and transparent way. In particular, the technical support and pragmatic approach convinced us.”
“What we value most about flustix is the focus on credibility and integrity, which strengthens the impact of our message and reassures our customers of the validity of our claims. Having the flustix RECYCLED certification adds significant value to CIRCULAR EDGE by providing proof of quality, compliance, and sustainability. It helps differentiate our product in a competitive market where transparency and certified sustainability are increasingly demanded.”
“flustix supported us throughout the certification process and provided assistance whenever we had questions. flustix is in close contact with the certification body and was always up to date on the current status. When challenges arose during certification, flustix provided us with excellent advice and support to successfully optimise our packaging.”
“flustix certification confirms EraCup Natural as a benchmark board for food service applications, designed to deliver outstanding converting performance and respond effectively to new market demands. It reflects our ongoing commitment to developing safe, regulation-compliant, and highly recyclable solutions that enable converters and brand owners to advance their sustainability goals and strengthen brand differentiation.”
“Transparency and trust — this is what our partnership with flustix delivers. The professional guidance throughout the certification process was first-class. The flustix trustmark confirms the high share of 45% post-industrial recyclate in our dry vacuum series (T-Range). For us, it is an effective way to make a tangible contribution to our sustainability goals: the reduction of 1.9 kg of virgin plastic per product. The flustix certificate is therefore a central pillar of our sustainability strategy.”
“flustix was the natural choice to partner with on the development of Starbucks’ new home-compostable and widely recyclable cup in Europe—not only because of their strong reputation in plastic reduction and transparency, but because their certification adds meaningful recognition to our latest innovation.”
“Our goal at Gropper is to close the loop. Plastic is ideal for preserving the safety and high quality of our food and is therefore an important resource. That is why we have been working with recycled PET for years. Thanks to independent flustix certification, we give our customers the opportunity to transparently communicate the sustainable use of recycled material via neutral product labelling. flustix also offers a quick and easy-to-implement sublicensing system compliant within the framework of EmpCo. That’s what convinced us at Gropper.”
“Our customers welcome the guidance that independent certifications provide when making purchasing decisions. They should feel fully informed and be able to choose our recyclates based on verifiable data. We are proud of the quality of our products – and, of course, also of the fact that they passed the flustix certification process smoothly and quickly.”
“Since we switched our TeeFee to approved rPET bottles, demand and thus sales have increased many times over. This is certainly due to the consumer’s confidence in our top product and the independent certification from flustix.”
“Not only do we have to clean up the oceans, but we have to protect them from new plastic waste – for our children. With its trustmarks, flustix clearly labels products that were produced without plastic or with recycled plastic – so that following generations do not have to pay for our garbage.”
“We have a responsibility and the power to act. If we finally make a change together, we can do something for our children and leave behind a better world.”
“The increasing environmental impact of plastic garbage is devastating and it is getting worse. We have to act, now. Reliable certificates like the ones from flustix are long overdue. With flustix, every single one of us finally has the chance to recognize plastic-reduced products or recycled plastic immediately when shopping. It’s about our planet and especially about our children.”
“The pollution of the oceans has increased dramatically in recent years and it is slowly becoming visible to everyone that our use of plastic has devastating consequences for the environment. Flustix is great because it sets a sign for the sustainable use of plastic while shopping.”
