Authentication and circular claims have to agree
Counterfeiting is a risk for premium brands, and circular packaging claims add a second question: can the verified origin and the end-of-life statement both be supported for the same pack?
If an authentication marker is added to the board, review:
- what the marker is made of and how it is applied or embedded;
- whether it changes how the pack can be recycled, using the guidance in the EU rules on packaging reuse and recycling;
- which app or reader is used to verify it, and who maintains it;
- which documents cover the finished construction.
Compostability or biodegradability can only be claimed for a specific finished material, with a test report or certificate that covers it and the disposal system the buyer intends to use. MUGE PACKAGING does not make a compostable or biodegradable claim for its boxes, bags, tubes or inserts; ask for documents for the exact specification before you repeat any such claim.
