How Plastiks’ Methodology Meets ISO 9001:2015 Standards

At Plastiks, traceability isn’t just a promise, it’s a process. With the recent achievement of our ISO 9001:2015 certification, we’ve reached a new level of operational and methodological validation. But this milestone isn’t just about having systems in place, it’s about how those systems function to deliver real, verifiable impact.

‍

‍

Our proprietary three-step methodology for issuing plastic credits has always prioritized transparency, documentation, and performance. Now, with ISO 9001:2015 certification, that framework is officially recognized as meeting the highest global standards for quality management.

‍

In this article, we break down how each step of our methodology aligns with ISO principles, and what that means for our partners, recovery organizations, and ESG-driven clients.

‍

^{Why Methodology Matters in Quality Certification} 

ISO 9001:2015 isn’t just about quality paperwork or internal audits, it’s about designing systems that work. For Plastiks, achieving certification meant proving that our entire verification pipeline; from onboarding recovery organizations to issuing traceable plastic credits—operates with consistency, rigor, and continual improvement.

‍

Unlike informal or ad hoc recovery schemes, Plastiks was built to be replicable and standards-aligned from day one. Our methodology wasn’t retrofitted to meet ISO; it was designed to be verifiable, transparent, and globally scalable.

‍

This certification confirms what we’ve always prioritized: impact that is not just traceable, but trusted.

^{Plastiks’ Three-Step Methodology: Aligned with ISO} 

At the core of Plastiks’ plastic credit issuance lies a proprietary three-step methodology—developed not only to enable recovery, but to ensure it’s traceable, verifiable, and impact-linked.

‍

“Our methodology was designed from the start to deliver not just recovery—but recovery you can prove. ISO certification now validates that every step we follow is built on quality, traceability, and accountability.”  — Delfina Achinelly, Head of Methodology & Verification, Plastiks

‍

This system was thoroughly audited by EUROCERT, an internationally accredited certification body, with the evaluation led by Enrique Ayuso, who examined our processes from end to end. The certification confirms that every element, from documentation to digital traceability, meets ISO 9001:2015 standards for quality management systems. 

‍

‍

^{Step 1: Roadmap & Process Definition} 

We begin by understanding each recovery organization’s operations, documentation practices, and recovery capabilities. From there, we co-define the roadmap to be funded through plastic credits—including social, environmental, and operational goals backed by a clear budget and timeline.

 

ISO alignment: Customer focus, planning, and measurable quality objectives. 

‍

^{Step 2: Accreditation Questionnaire} 

Plastiks evaluates the organization’s legal, financial, human resources, sustainability, quality and health and safety status through a detailed accreditation process. This ensures transparency, readiness, and alignment with our impact standards before credits are ever issued. 

‍

ISO alignment: Risk-based thinking, process control, documentation integrity. 

‍

^{Step 3: Platform Integration} 

Once accredited, the organization’s activities are digitally onboarded into our platform. Blockchain-based systems track recovery data, geolocation, visual proof, and timeline benchmarks—ensuring continuous monitoring and reporting.
  

ISO alignment: Operational control, transparency, and data-driven decision-making.

‍

^{What ISO Certification Means for Stakeholders?} 

For recovery organizations, ISO 9001:2015 certification confirms that Plastiks offers a credible, structured, and internationally recognized framework for issuing plastic credits. For sustainability-focused clients, it means every credit purchased is backed by documented quality and traceability—aligning with ESG, EPR, and CSRD requirements. And for investors and partners, it signals operational maturity and data integrity.

‍

By embedding ISO standards into our methodology, Plastiks delivers more than verified recovery—we provide assurance you can report on, trust, and scale.
