An environmental management system is only as good as the manual its builders had in front of them, and for most teams that manual is ISO 14004. Below is what the 2016 edition explains clause by clause, why it still points at the 2015 rulebook, and where a producer's EPR duties fit inside it.

Chemical recovery breaks used plastic packaging down into the chemicals it was made from, and ISO/TR 16218 is the 2013 technical report that describes those routes. Below is what the report covers, how it sits next to ISO 18604 and ISO/TR 17098, and whether the output counts as recycling under EU packaging law.

Greece gives every producer one registration number and then asks for a separate declaration behind it for each scheme the catalogue touches. Below are six providers ranked on that work, from holding the product data to signing the Greek forms, with a clear note on which of them will file on your behalf.

A water footprint under ISO 14046 has to be an impact result, not a count of litres, and most of them need a qualifier in front of the name as well. Below is what the 2014 standard actually requires, from the four phases of an assessment to the point where it stops and the labelling rules take over.

An environmental product declaration verified under one programme does not automatically count under another. ISO/TS 14029 is the 2022 ISO technical specification that sets out how two EPD or footprint communication programmes formally recognise each other's work, so a declaration can be accepted elsewhere without being verified a second time.

ISO 15270 is the document that names the routes plastics waste can take once it has been collected, and defines the words the industry uses to describe them. Below is what the 2008 edition actually covers, why its definition of recycling does not match the one in EU packaging law, and what changes when the five-part replacement series lands.

Environmental performance evaluation is the process ISO 14031 sets out for choosing indicators, collecting the data behind them and judging whether performance is actually improving.
