AVI Trace

Batch-level material traceability for procurement, quality and compliance teams. AVI Trace connects sourcing and production information for participating orders, helping customers substantiate recycled-content claims with records relevant to the packaging they receive.

Connecting Recycled Content with Supporting Evidence

A recycled-content percentage tells you how much recycled material a product contains. Traceability provides the supporting context: where that material originated, how it was processed and which records apply to the finished pack. AVI Trace brings this information together for participating orders, with documentation available directly from our team.

The Five-Stage Trace

From Material Source to Finished Packaging

Stage 01

Verified Source

Post-consumer PET is sourced through documented waste-management partnerships. For ocean-bound plastic streams, sourcing information and chain-of-custody records are assessed separately from product certification.

Evidence: Relevant sourcing-partner documentation, including information from partners such as Recity Network, and ocean-bound sourcing records where applicable.

Contact AVI's team for the source records available for your selected material and order.

Stage 02

Flake

Collected PET is sorted and processed into washed flakes before entering AVI's sheet-production process. Supplier lot identification supports the connection between incoming material and production records.

Evidence: Flake batch or lot references linked to AVI's incoming-material and production records.

Our team can clarify the flake-stage records included for your order.

Stage 03

Sheet

AVI processes recycled PET into sheet at its own facility, with recycled-content levels specified by grade and documented by batch. Total recycled content and post-consumer content are reported separately.

Evidence: EN 15343 recycled-content traceability certification and grade-specific Intertek verification under its Recycled Content Verification Program, referencing ISO 14021:2016. Examples include grades verified at 80% total recycled content with 53% post-consumer content, and 90% total recycled content with 60% post-consumer content.

EN 15343 — SGS certificate IN24/00000783, valid to 17 October 2027. Applicable Intertek grade-specific verification certificates are valid to 30 September 2027. Request the certificate matching your selected grade.

Stage 04

Finished Pack

Sheet is thermoformed into finished packaging at AVI's facility, keeping sheet production and conversion within the same manufacturing operation. Production records support the link between the pack and its sheet batch.

Evidence: Finished-pack production records referencing the relevant source sheet batch.

Contact our team to confirm the batch linkage and records available for your selected pack.

Stage 05

Proof / Batch Record

For participating orders, AVI's team provides the available records connecting finished packaging with its material and production history. This information supports procurement reviews, customer qualification and audit requirements.

Evidence: Batch identification, applicable EN 15343 and Intertek documentation, and a summary of the connected production stages.

Request your batch record directly from AVI's team, quoting the relevant product and order details.
