Eco-packaging certs, FSC + BPI Compostable + How2Recycle, how do you flag them in Magento?

Three things:

  • Cert badges as Magento product attributes, FSC, BPI Compostable, How2Recycle, plant-based / bio-poly mailer flags. Stored as multi-select EAV attribute "eco_certs". Render on PLP card + PDP hero with badge graphics.
  • PLP filter chips, "FSC only" / "BPI Compostable only" / "How2Recycle labeled" / "Recycled-content ≥50%". B2B buyers in beauty, food & bev, and apparel ecommerce filter by cert before they filter by dimension.
  • Cert documentation PDF per SKU, attached as Magento product asset, downloadable from PDP. RFP buyers ask for the chain-of-custody PDF; if you can’t produce it on the spot you lose the bid.

The certs that move RFPs in 2026:

  • FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), chain-of-custody for corrugated + paper mailers + paperboard. Required by most fortune-500 sustainability programs.
  • BPI Compostable, industrial-compostable plastics certification. Plant-based PLA mailers, compostable poly films, plant-fiber void fill. Beauty + food brands ask for this first.
  • How2Recycle, standardised label system telling end-consumers exactly how to recycle each component. Mandatory in CA + WA for many product categories; voluntary elsewhere but B2B buyers demand it.
  • recycled-content %, PCR (post-consumer recycled) content thresholds. 30%+ is the floor; 100% PCR is the premium tier.

Without a clean cert filter you lose RFPs to EcoEnclose, noissue, and Sustainable Packaging Industries. Build the filter + badge layer first; the eco-only SKU expansion comes after.
