  • Excited to participate in this important discussion on reformulation and compliance! Our VP of Food Safety, Training & Consulting, Denise Webster, will join this expert panel to explore how regulatory strategy and food science work together in today’s evolving landscape. When reformulating products, compliance considerations must be integrated from the start – not added as an afterthought. Join us Tuesday, August 19 at 1 PM ET for “The Science of Compliance: Reformulating Food Products for Regulatory Success” to learn how ingredient innovation, regulatory requirements, and food safety intersect in successful reformulations. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gdaMUK7X Thanks to CuliNEX - Your Food Innovation Partner for organizing this timely discussion! #FoodSafety #Compliance #Reformulation

    Regulations are evolving—𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒐 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒙𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏. When you update a product, compliance can’t be an afterthought. Ingredient changes, label claims, and functionality shifts all have regulatory implications that can cost time, resources, and consumer trust if overlooked. Join us on Tuesday, August 19 at 1 PM ET for The Science of Compliance—a live panel exploring how food science, regulatory strategy, and ingredient innovation intersect to create reformulations that win on taste and meet evolving requirements.

  • Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations hold producers accountable for the entire lifecycle of their products, with a key aspect of compliance being incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) content into packaging design. Recycled content legislation requires:   • Use of PCR content in a variety of packaging by producers, manufacturers, brand owners, importers, and distributors   • Minimum percentage of PCR content requirements that will increase overtime   • Varying mandates by state (e.g., CA, WA, ME, NJ, CT) SCS Recycled Content Certification provides credibility to your content claims, helps lower fees for EPR compliance, demonstrates commitment to circularity, and more. Begin your certification process now and get 5% off through September 22nd. Have questions or ready to start?

  • Congratulations to ISCC as the certification program owner for leading the way, and to every certified company.   6000 certificates mark a significant milestone in the global transition toward a more sustainable and circular economy. This achievement reflects the dedication of thousands of organizations that are actively embracing circularity and responsible sourcing.  SCS Global Services is proud to be part of this achievement. As the third-largest certification body for ISCC Plus, we help validate and advance circularity initiatives across industries and around the world, through trusted third-party certification. Let’s keep the momentum going. #SCSGlobalServices #SCS #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #ISCCPlus #SupplyChainTransparency #SustainableFuture

    Back in the late '00s and early '10s, general awareness of the CO₂ footprint was on the rise, and the need to transition towards circularity was becoming increasingly prevalent. As a result, we launched ISCC PLUS to support the emerging circular economy and bioeconomy by validating the sustainability characteristics of alternative feedstocks. Chemicals, fuels, and plastics soon became this scheme's primary focus. This is the ISCC PLUS journey so far: https://lnkd.in/edUBxXTR
