Questions to guide your feedback:
Each section below contains guided questions we are looking to get specific feedback on as well as a space for all additional feedback. These questions are based on the sections in the policy and are in the order in which they appear.

We strongly encourage you to have the policy open as you read through the questions and provide feedback. We welcome you to respond to as many of the questions that you are interested in sharing feedback on. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.

Document Scope and Certification
Are there any claims you would like to make that are not identified as a claim type?
Do all of the allowed claim scopes meet your expectations for communicating about Materials Matter Certified products?
Additional feedback

Section 1 - Materials Matter Claims
Do you agree with or have concerns about approval requirements extending to all claim types? (See criterion 1.3.1 for reference)
Additional feedback

Section 2 - Product Claims
Do you have examples of single materials that would be technically challenging to reach a 30% minimum certified content threshold? (See criterion 2.2.2 for reference)
Do you have examples of products that could contain a blend of Materials Matter Certified materials that would be technically challenging to reach a 50% minimum certified content threshold? (See criterion 2.2.2 for reference)
Do you have any other concerns regarding the increase in the minimum content thresholds? (See criterion 2.2.2 for reference)
We are considering extending the mixing restrictions across all materials in scope of the Materials Matter Standard, which means recycled materials would not be allowed to be mixed with non-certified material of the same type. Do you foresee implications resulting from this? (See criterion 2.2.4 for reference)
If mixing restrictions are extended across all materials in scope of the Materials Matter Standard, can you think of any exceptions to this that will be needed (e.g. mixing Materials Matter Certified Recycled Cotton with OCS Certified Cotton)? (See criterion 2.2.4 for reference)
Do you have any concerns with the proposed approach to require approvals for retailer claims? (See criterion 2.5.4 for reference)
Additional feedback

Section 4 - Sourcing Claims
Is there anything specific you would like to communicate about certified materials you are sourcing?
Can you share any examples of how you currently make sourcing claims about preferred materials?
Additional feedback

Section 5 - Mass Balance Claims
Are you interested in making product-related claims about materials and products coming from Textile Exchange’s mass balance system?
Do you find value in mass balance claims made on-product? If so, why and how do you feel this is best communicated so consumers clearly understand it?
Additional feedback

Section 6 - Recognition Claims
Do you have any concerns about allowing claims based on materials coming in from other certification schemes through the Materials Matter Standard Recognition framework?
Additional feedback
