BIODEGRADABLE_MATERIAL | Biodegradable material | Biodegradable refers to the ability of things to get disintegrated (decomposed) by the action of micro-organisms such as bacteria or fungi biological (with or without oxygen) while getting assimilated into the natural environment. | X |
BIOGAS | Biogas | Biogas is a naturally occurring and renewable source of energy, resulting from the breakdown of organic matter. | X |
RECYCLED_MATERIAL | Recycled material | A recycled material refers to any substance that has undergone a process of reprocessing or reclamation to be used again in the manufacturing of new products. Recycled materials can encompass a wide range of items, including paper, glass, metal, plastics, textiles, and more. | X |
RECYCLED_MATERIAL_MASS_BALANCE | Recycled material, Mass balance | Recycled material and feedstock are combined with virgin raw materials in the production process, resulting in a final product that contains both virgin and recycled content. Mass balance involves mixing fossil and recycled/renewable materials to meet this objective. It's important to note that individual packaging may not necessarily include recycled material, but the plastic material producer is certified for mass balance and incorporates a specific percentage of recycled materials in their feedstock. Refer to local regulations. | X |
RENEWABLE_MATERIAL | Renewable material | A renewable material is a material made of natural resources that can be replenished. | X |
RENEWABLE_MATERIAL_MASS_BALANCE | Renewable material, Mass balance | Renewable material and renewable feedstock (raw material used in industrial process or as fuel) with virgin raw materials in the production process. This creates a final product that is a mixture of virgin and renewable content. Mass balance is about mixing fossil and renewable/recycled materials. It's important to note that individual packaging may not necessarily include renewable material, but the plastic material producer is certified for mass balance and incorporates a specific percentage of renewable materials in their feedstock. Refer to local regulations. | X |
WIND_POWER | Wind power | Wind power or wind energy is mostly the use of wind turbines to generate electricity. Wind power is a popular, sustainable, renewable energy source that has a much smaller impact on the environment than burning fossil fuels. | X |
