Achieving certifications help us communicate our goals to customers and stay true to our eco-friendly business model. The certifications that we have achieved help us to secure the mission of our products and be transparent in our practices.

Global Recycled Standard (GRS)
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is a voluntary product standard for tracking and verifying the content of recycled materials in a final product. It is essentially a badge for products that use proper recycled materials, and want to be transparent to their customers about their recycling methods.
The GRS covers all stages of products made from 20% recycled material:
processing | manufacturing | packaging | labelling | trading | distribution
The standard is not just about recycling, though. It looks into where things come from, how they're made, and if the people involved are treated right. GRS cares about the environment, and supports companies looking to verify the recycled content of their products and verify responsible social, environmental and chemical practices in the production of these products.
If a product has the GRS badge, you can be sure that the product is recycled and created properly, aligning with environmental goals.
SR Mailing 100% recycled mail bags are certified under the Global Recycled Standard (GRS). Our recycled materials comes from film formerly used for agricultural activities - agricultural mulch to be exact.
The mulch is picked up locally around the recycling centre, and turned into products using a certified recycling process. We've given this plastic a second life, turning them into our 100% recycled mailing bags!
Climate Partner: Carbon Neutral options
Recycled content is one of our main fortes when developing our product line, but its not always easy to reduce emissions to nothing. We also work with Climate Partner to make our products carbon neutral, with 95% of our products being earth-friendly.
We offset 570,380kg of carbon emissions via the Wind energy project in Northeast Brazil. ID: 15019-2103-1001 We do this so we can recycle our products properly, and still keep carbon emissions associated with our products low.

Home Compostable: Certified under AS5810
As we dive deeper into sustainable options, it's crucial to back up our claims with solid evidence. Compostable products are a great alternative to traditional plastics, a viable option besides paper, and can be disposed of in your home compost bin as long as certified to do so.
That is why we have made sure our compostable products comply with AS5810: the Australian standard for biodegradability in home composting conditions. This certification helps guarantee that your home compost will be safe and our mailing bags will biodegrade properly!

This certification gives you peace of mind that our mailing bags will break down safely, leaving your compost heap happy and healthy. So, rest easy knowing that not only are you choosing a sustainable option, but you're also supporting the environment in a big way!
This certificate also guarantees that our product will break down into non-toxic material in a home compost, with a time frame of around 6-12 months. Make sure to always check the labels on bags to check for home composting versus industrial composting. Industrial composting is slightly different, as it can be composted but only in a proper compost facility (not your home bin).
TÃœV AUSTRIA
To add to our compostable certifications, we also have certified our products under TÃœV AUSTRIA: an internationally recognised inspection and certification company.
This certification ensures our home compostable products were examined and verified through tests on samples of our products, and is able to bear the "OK for compost HOME" mark of TÃœV AUSTRIA. This certification guarantees that our product will break down into non-toxic material in a home compost, with a time frame of around 6-12 months.
'Sustainable Packaging of the Year' Award 2024
In February of 2024, we attended a packaging expo where we were given the honour of "Sustainable Packaging of the Year" by demonstrating our compostable bags, 100% recyclable bags, and our ability to meet the needs of the climate and provide sustainable solutions.
We were and are still honoured to receive this award, and mark it as a reminder to keep striving to be as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible to leave a positive mark on the world.
