recycled content label

A recycled content label indicates the percentage of a product made from materials that have been reused or repurposed from previous products, rather than new raw materials. This label helps consumers assess the environmental impact of their purchase by highlighting the product’s contribution to reducing waste and conserving resources. For example, a paper product labeled as containing 30% recycled content means that about a third of its material was recycled from old paper rather than virgin pulp. This information supports environmentally conscious decisions and promotes sustainable practices in manufacturing and consumption.
