			The Material Certifications taxonomy provides a structured approach to classifying materials based on their adherence to recognized environmental, safety, and sustainability standards. Each material used in packaging components, such as glass, paper, metals, textiles, ceramics, wood, and polymers, may be subject to one or more certifications. These certifications ensure that the materials meet specific criteria related to responsible sourcing, recyclability, chemical safety, or biodegradability.

			The table below categorizes relevant certifications, indicating which materials can be certified under each standard, helping to guide compliance with both industry-specific and global sustainability requirements.
