Bemis Manufacturing Company, a leading manufacturer of toilet seats, announced today that its enameled wood toilet seats have been certified by GreenCircle Certified LLC for their recycled content.

The certification verifies that 100% of the wood used in the seats is recycled pre-consumer wood waste. The overall recycled content of the finished product is 71% by weight for seats with plastic hinges and 66% for seats with metal hinges. This third-party verification affirms Bemis’ dedication to transparent, eco-conscious manufacturing and empowers customers to make confident, environmentally responsible choices.

“With growing consumer demand for responsible purchasing options, clarity around what qualifies as ‘recycled content’ is more important than ever. To ensure we meet that expectation with honesty and transparency, we sought a credible, independent certification. We chose GreenCircle—an accredited third-party certifier trusted across a wide range of industries for their rigorous standards. This gives us confidence that we’re not only holding ourselves accountable, but also helping our customers make informed choices,” comments Lena Mitkey, Director of ESG at Bemis Manufacturing Company.
