EMERYVILLE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / January 20, 2026 / SCS Standards and Assurance Systems is pleased to announce the publication of Version 5.0 SCS-106 Verification Standard for Recycling Operations, previously known as the SCS Recycling Program Standard SCS-106.
The standard has been restructured and simplified, and now looks at the previous 12 months of data of a recycling operation to verify that a recycling facility is diverting waste from landfill, incineration, or permanent storage by processing waste into recycled material.
SCS-106 fits into the larger ecosystem of SCS Standards' circularity standards, complementing the SCS Certification Standard for Zero Waste (SCS-110), the SCS Certification Standard for Recycled Content (SCS-103), and the upcoming SCS Certification Standard for Responsible Advanced/Chemical/Molecular Recycling (SCS-004).
To learn more about SCS-106, please join our complimentary webinar on Friday, February 20th, at 11:30 a.m. ET (8:30 a.m. PT, 10:30 a.m. CET). Register here to learn about SCS-106, including the revisions and certification process.
