NetPlus®

NetPlus® is a certification and labeling program that focuses on promoting the use of recycled materials in the manufacturing of various products, particularly plastic-based products. It is managed by the company US Netting, Inc.

The NetPlus® program aims to address environmental concerns related to plastic waste by encouraging the use of recycled materials and reducing the reliance on virgin plastic. The certification ensures that the products meet specific criteria and standards for recycled content and sustainability.

To obtain the NetPlus® certification, manufacturers must adhere to the following guidelines:

Recycled Content: The product must contain a minimum percentage of post-consumer recycled content, typically derived from materials such as plastic bottles or other recyclable plastic waste.

Supply Chain Transparency: Manufacturers must demonstrate transparency in their supply chain by providing information on the sources of the recycled materials used in their products.

Social Responsibility: The program also places importance on social responsibility aspects, such as fair labor practices and ethical sourcing.

Life Cycle Assessment: The environmental impact of the product throughout its life cycle is considered, including factors such as energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste generation.

By using the NetPlus® certified products, consumers can make a more sustainable choice and support the recycling industry. The certification provides assurance that the product has met specific standards for recycled content and sustainability, promoting a circular economy and reducing the environmental impact of plastic waste.

It's important to note that NetPlus® is a specific certification program managed by US Netting, Inc. and focuses on plastic-based products. Other certifications and labeling programs may exist for different types of products or materials, each with their own criteria and standards for sustainability and recycled content.
