Post-Consumer Material

Material generated by households or by commercial, industrial and


institutional facilities in their role as end-users of the product that can no
longer be used for its intended purpose. This includes returns of
materials from the distribution chain.

Each country of sale may have different criteria to qualify Pre-Consumer and
Post-Consumer Recycled Materials. It is best to check with the governing body
to be sure that their expectations are being met. For further resources see
