Shanghai, China–April 23, 2024
TÜV AUSTRIA SHANGHAI granted Wuxi Shouchuang Printing & Packaging Co., Ltd. with the OK Recycled Content Certification at the Chinaplas 2024 Exhibition. The certification, based on the UNE-EN 15343:2008, has been conducted through the joint-effort of TÜV AUSTRIA SHANGHAI and TÜV AUSTRIA IBERIA, validating the use of recycled plastics in Wuxi Shouchuang’s plastic bag production, and reflecting the company’s environmental commitment.
Presenting the certification, Mr. Ivan Huang, Managing Director of TÜV AUSTRIA SHANGHAI, praised Wuxi Shouchuang’s milestone, noting its compliance with the EU’s progressive plastic regulations. He said, “This certification is a significant step in sustainable development, particularly crucial amidst the EU’s stringent plastic policies.”
The certification helps companies demonstrate compliance with recycling standards, potentially easing the impact of plastic taxes. Authorized by the Spanish National Accreditation Body (ENAC), it offers an exemption from the Spanish plastic tax, enhancing business competitiveness.
Receiving the certificate, Mr. Zhao Xiaofeng, General Manager of Wuxi Shouchuang, expressed his appreciation and affirmed the company’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and regulatory compliance, including the EU’s circular economy goals for plastic packaging by 2030.
