EMERYVILLE, Calif., October 28, 2025 /3BL/ – Foresight has entered into a strategic agreement with SCS Global Services to assist manufacturers seeking SCS Recycled Content Certification for their products. Foresight, which provides EHS, energy, and sustainability services, is now an approved contractor for Recycled Content Certification support.
SCS Recycled Content Certification, adhering to the SCS-103 Recycled Content Certification Standard, is one of the market’s most sought-after sustainability claims. Certification provides credible authentication to buyers seeking more sustainable products that have incorporated recycled content. To qualify, at least five percent of a product must be made with pre- or post-consumer recycled content.
Earning this product certification provides a concrete way for a company to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability. Certified products may display a certification logo on product and are also listed on SCS’ Certified Green Products Guide.
Certification can also expand market access for products through preferable purchasing agreements and the LEED® rating system. The most popular categories for recycled content are:
- Electronics
- Building materials
- Packaging
- Textiles
- Home goods and more
Foresight, with its extensive experience in product certifications including BIFMA LEVEL and the Declare Label, can provide support throughout the auditing process helping streamline certification for product manufacturers. This can be very useful for companies that have not been through a certification process. As a neutral, third-party auditor, SCS is barred from providing guidance to companies seeking certification.
“We’re excited to work with SCS to make this process more accessible to manufacturers who want to take the next step,” said David DeYoung, head of sales at Foresight. “Incorporating recycled content into products is an essential part of developing a circular economy, but it’s also a strategic decision to align with what the market wants. We look forward to helping more manufacturers along this journey.”
“We are pleased to have such an experienced and solid consulting provider in Foresight to help more companies access the certification,” stated Youssra Elkhatib, program manager for Material Content at SCS. “We look forward to a successful working relationship to drive increased adoption of this broadly recognized certification across multiple industries.”
