What is the minimum certification threshold under the Materials Matter Standard system?

Certification and labeling thresholds serve different purposes within the Materials Matter system.

The Materials Matter system harmonizes how certification thresholds are applied across materials, supporting consistent tracking of certified volumes through supply chains.

A minimum certification threshold of 5% certified material applies across all materials in the Materials Matter system for inclusion on a Transaction Certificate (TC).

Applying a single certification threshold across all materials simplifies how the system operates and reduces complexity for users of the Material Matter Standard certification.

Consumer-facing product claims are governed by the Materials Matter Claims and Labeling Policy, which defines minimum thresholds for labeling and product claims.

This distinction allows the system to reduce barriers to certification and enable tracking of smaller volumes, while maintaining a higher bar for consumer-facing claims to support credibility and trust.
