MKS’ Atotech Receives SGS Taiwan Recycled Content Verification for Electroless Copper Products, Confirming the Use of 100% Recycled Copper
Recently, SGS Taiwan awarded MKS’ Atotech the recycled content verification certificate for its MKS’ Atotech electroless copper products. This certificate underscores MKS’ Atotech leadership and progress in contributing towards zero-waste product development with its recycled materials coming from reliable sources. Through comparison of raw material sourcing of various vendors and confirmed by traceability program and production data, the MKS-Atotech products demonstrate the right usage of recycled material amount declared by the manufacturer
The importance of the industry towards sustainability and the credibility of its supply chain
All countries and industries are following their plans to contribute toward the zero-waste sustainability goals. The global pandemic has been a wake-up call for upstream and downstream industries’ high demand on recycled materials and high-value utilization of waste. Embracing the cradle-to-grave concept requires a significant redesign of the supply chain to expand product’s life cycle. Hence, the maximum reuse and allocation of resources is even more crucial. Early on, many vendors were self- declared they use additives for recycled materials. However, the credibility of these statements was often questioned. To ensure that recycled materials come from verifiable sources, SGS verifies the two sources of pre- and post-consumer recycled content in products defined by ISO 14021:2016. SGS, as a impartial third-party certification body (CB), will issue a recycled material content verification certificate once the corresponding requests meet the standards requirements and additives for recycled materials from the product has been under review by SGS.
