A plastic-free claim is only worth what someone else can verify.
Mingkai holds a flustix trustmark. Every flustix licence carries a number that resolves to a public entry naming the testing laboratory, the certification body and the validity date — including to your customers, retailers and competitors.
Our licence

How to check it in three steps
What the scheme measures
flustix determines plastic content in laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 and issues trustmarks against defined thresholds. The thresholds below are those of the flustix LESS PLASTICS programme.
| Product category | Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Paper-based, virgin fibre | 98% plastic-free | Optional declaration at 98.75% or 99.25% |
| Paper-based, recycled fibre | 97% plastic-free | — |
| Packaging | 95% plastic-free | Aligned with the PPWR 95/5 treatment of fibre-based packaging |
Figures as published by flustix for its LESS PLASTICS programme. The applicable threshold for a given product is stated on the licence, not inferred from this table.
What it lets you do
- Put a plastic-free or microplastic-free claim on pack with third-party backing.
- Answer the question “who verified that?” with a number, not a brochure.
- Support a green claim under EU rules that require independent verification.
- Pass a retailer's or importer's supplier audit without a separate test round.
What it does not do
flustix certifies plastic content. It is not a compostability certificate and it does not replace EN 13432 or a national composting approval. If your claim is “industrially compostable”, you need a composting certificate on top of this — and if your claim is “biodegradable”, the test method has to be named.
We would rather say this here than have it discovered in an audit.
