Certifications

We take great pride in our Polygood® material, which has earned the prestigious Cradle to Cradle® certification. This rigorous, third-party program evaluates products for their environmental and social impacts.

After a thorough Life Cycle Assessment, The Good Plastic Company holds an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for Polygood®. The EPD serves as an invaluable asset in securing LEED and BREEAM certification for your projects.

Our VOC A+ rating means our products have minimal volatile organic compound emissions, contributing to healthier indoor environments. Polygood® aligns with BREEAM standards for construction materials in the UK and EU, making it a low-VOC emitting material.

Polygood® panels have Euroclass ratings for fire-resistance for two applications:

• Construction products (excluding flooring). Polygood® panels with a special fire-retardant coating achieve a Euroclass rating of E, s3-d0.
• Flooring applications. With an FPCC coating, panels achieve a Euroclass rating of B(fl), s1, according to standard EN 13501-1. This indicates moderate flammability with a low smoke development.

Polygood® panels are certified completely safe for food contact, under European Union Commission Regulation No. 10/2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.

ISO 14001 is the internationally recognized standard for environmental management systems (EMS, providing a framework to design and implement an EMS, and continually improve environmental performance. This ensures we are taking proactive measures to minimise our environmental footprint, comply with relevant legal requirements, and achieve environmental objectives.

ISO 9001 is the most widely used quality management standard in the world. Its requirements define how to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve a quality management system (QMS). This ensures we have put in place effective processes and trained staff to deliver flawless products or services time after time.

The standard specifies the criteria for occupational health and safety policy, objectives, planning, implementation, operation, auditing, and review. Our practices align with key elements such as leadership commitment, worker participation, hazard identification and risk assessment, legal and regulatory compliance, emergency planning, incident investigation and continual improvement.
