Evaluation Criteria 1 Products whose fiber content natural and chemical includes
polyester fiber must fulfill one of the following. a. Polyester from recycled PET resins accounts for no less
than 25 by weight of all fibers used except lining. If polyester fibers are used less than 50 by weight of all
fibers except lining, accounts for no less than 10 by weight of all fibers, and no less than 50 by weight of
polyester fibers except lining.
b. Polyester from recycled PET resins accounts for no less than 10 by weight of all fibers used, and a system for
collecting, reuse and recycling materials after product use is established.
2 Products whose fiber content natural and chemical includes synthetic fiber made from vegetable whose reductional effect
of environmental load must fulfill one of the following. a. Products whose fiber content includes biodegradable
synthetic fiber made from vegetable whose reductional effect of environmental load has been confirmed
accounts for no less than 25 by weight of all fibers used

Evaluation Criteria Products whose fiber content natural and chemical includes
polyester fiber must fulfill one of the following.
1 Polyester from recycled PET resins accounts for no less than 25 by weight of all fibers used. If polyester fibers are
used less than 50 by weight of all fibers, accounts for no less than 10 by weight of all fibers, and no less than 50
by weight of polyester fibers.
2 Polyester from recycled PET resins accounts for no less than 10 by weight of all fibers used, and a system for
collecting, reuse and recycling materials after product use is established.
Factors for Consideration 1
A system is in place for the collection, reuse and recycling after product use.
2 Fibers other than polyester from recycled PET resin should
use unused fiber or reconstructed fiber as much as possible. 3
Packaging and stowage is to be as simple as possible and take into account ease of recycling and reduced environmental
impact upon disposal.
Note: 1. PET resins denote material that use recycled PET bottles and fiber products, etc.
2. Weight of all fibers denotes the weight of all product excluding accessories such as
