Recycled Materials evaluates how a company replaces virgin inputs with post-consumer and post-industrial recycled content across its products, packaging and operations. It covers:

• procurement policies for secondary raw materials (plastics, metals, glass, fibres, rare-earths, etc.);
• design-for-recycling and specifications that enable high recycled-content incorporation (e.g., mono-material packaging, additives limits);
• traceability and verification systems (chain-of-custody, mass-balance, third-party certification);
• measurable targets, progress disclosure and assurance of recycled-content percentages.
