As a part of this activity the how2recycle team has issued tens of thousands of on pack labels for consumer-packaged goods to inform the consumer how best to recycle the package.

Recycled materials standard:the recycled material standard (rms) is a standard that establishes requirements necessary to assure accuracy and transparency of claims with the support of a robust third-party certification system. The rms serves as a voluntary, market-based tool to address some of thechallenges that brands, their suppliers, and the recycling industry face in trying to incorporate higher amounts of recycled content into packaging or finished products. The rms is intended to provide continuity for consumers and brands while meeting the needs of theindustry and enabling new mechanisms to encourage the use of recycled content. (https://www.rmscertified.com/)the standard: the recycled material standard is the core of the rms program. The standards have been developed through a multi-stakeholder consensus process, focusing on clear rules, definitions, and guidelines to create an even playing field among competitors and a strongassurance mechanism for brands and consumers. Certified participants will play a key role in advancing the use of recycled materials. As the rms program is in early stages of development, many documents are pending release.
