As the only independent certifier in the world, Kiwa offers companies in the plastic recycling sector the opportunity to certify their business processes and products according to both the European RecyClass and the US APR schemes. This enables organizations operating in multiple markets to use one international certification partner to demonstrate the quality and traceability of recycled plastics.
Metal recycling companies operate in an environment where legislation and regulation are increasingly decisive in how material streams are processed and traded. Kiwa experts see that especially the WSR, End of Waste and WEEELABEX play a major role here. What does this mean for your organization?

The European defense sector is evolving, increasing the importance of robust quality, compliance, and supply chain transparency for organizations involved in defense and NATO-related projects.
