Green Muscat plastic recycling equipment at our factory in Oman

An initiative of Green Muscat

Recycled Assurance for Circular Plastics

RACP is a Green Muscat initiative centred on recycled content, traceability and material integrity across plastic recycling supply chains. This page sets out the initiative's scope and framework.

RACP sets out a practical framework for describing recycled content, documenting a material's route through processing, and assessing claims against agreed criteria — so suppliers and buyers can work from the same definitions.

Supporting consistent quality expectations between suppliers and buyers

What is RACP?

RACP is a framework designed to describe recycled plastic content, support full traceability, and establish a consistent approach to material integrity across plastic recycling supply chains.

As a Green Muscat initiative, RACP draws on our practical experience of sorting, washing and processing recovered plastics in Oman. Its purpose is to make it easier for buyers of recycled materials to understand what they are receiving — and for recyclers to demonstrate how that material was produced.

Chain of custody documentation

Records covering the journey from source material to final product

Material traceability

A documented chain from collection through processing

Independent assessment structure

A framework intended to allow assessment of claims by parties other than the claimant

Recycled content classification

Tiered classification based on the recycled content percentage of a material

Shared vocabulary

Common definitions for recycled content, so claims can be compared between suppliers

Certified Products

RACP applies to products and materials where recycled content and traceability can be described and documented. If you make or buy a material with a recycled content claim and want to know how RACP's criteria would apply to it, we can explain the scope and the documentation involved.

Certified Bodies

Assessment under RACP relies on organisations able to review records and processes independently. Conformity assessment bodies, testing laboratories and technical reviewers interested in carrying out assessment work within the framework are invited to get in touch to discuss the requirements.

Verify

Verification with RACP is handled directly by our team. If you have been given a recycled content claim, a document or a reference number and want to check it, send us the details and we will look into it.

There is no public verification portal or online register. A result is only confirmed by our team in writing — anything else should not be treated as verification.
