Green Star System™,
environmental product classification
To help customers make the most responsible choice when buying packaging, Antalis has developed an environmental product classification: the Green Star System™. This scoring system helps our customers to compare the environmental performance of different products for a given application.
A 5-star scoring system
This classification is based on the 4R criteria that underpin the circular economy model, which is highly rated by our customers. The more stars a packaging has, the more sustainable it is!
Which products are excluded from the classification?
There are two main reasons why a product may be excluded:
- Safety: if the product is composed of Substances of Very High Concern (REACH SVHC).
- Lack of green features: if the product is not recyclable and contains a low level (<25%)
of recycled/bio-based material.
What are the 4R classification criteria?
The Green Star System™ analyses safety, raw material sourcing and product end of life.
