GreenCircle Certified Certificate

Third-party verification by GreenCircle Certified, LLC of ONE specific named attribute stated on the certificate — such as Recycled Content (with percentage), Biobased Content, Closed Loop Product, Waste Diversion from Landfill, Renewable Energy Use, or Carbon Footprint Reduction — for the stated product or facility scope.

• Any attribute other than the one named on the certificate — a Recycled Content certificate says nothing about chemicals, emissions, or carbon.
• That the product is broadly 'certified green' or passed a multi-attribute ecolabel assessment — GreenCircle verifies single claims, not whole-product sustainability.
• Product-level performance when the certified scope is a facility or process (e.g. Waste Diversion, Renewable Energy Use are typically facility-level).

Expiry matters — check the certificate is current.

Treat each GreenCircle certificate as evidence for exactly one claim family — the verified_attribute field determines which.

Check whether the certified scope is the product or the manufacturing facility; facility-level attributes do not transfer to per-product claims.

Most GreenCircle attributes are circularity claims, but Biobased Content, Renewable Energy Use, and Carbon Footprint Reduction fall outside circularity — categorize by the verified attribute, not the logo.
