	78	+= Wording of the claim =
	79	+
	80	+In the cecAP and on the CEC certificate, there are three sections verbally expressing the claim and the related Improvements and Regressions relative to the applicable CEC Baseline:
	81	+
	82	+* Claim Highlight
	83	+* Significant Improvements relative to CEC Baseline
	84	+* Significant Regressions relative to CEC Baseline
	85	+
	86	+They are typically formatted like this:
	87	+
	88	+== Claim Highlight ==
	89	+
	90	+Prior to 2025, the Claim Highlight was worded similar to this example:
	91	+
	92	+(% class="box infomessage" %)
	93	+(((
	94	+(% style="text-indent:-0.15cm; margin-left:11px; margin-top:2px; margin-bottom:2px" %)
	95	+(% style="font-family:Mark Offc For MC Medium,serif; line-height:100%" %)100 % of Card Body plastic material is made from Recycled PVC
	96	+)))
	97	+
	98	+After reviewing multiple claims and gaining more detailed information about the actual content of plastic films, Mastercard decided to change to a more accurate wording for the claim highlight, beginning 2025.
	99	+
	100	+The new wording more accurately reflects the actual sustainable content of the card by mass, for example:
	101	+
	102	+(% class="box infomessage" %)
	103	+(((
	104	+The Card Body contains 93% Recycled PVC.
	105	+)))
	106	+
	107	+Note that a consequence of this is, due to the fact that practically all card materials contain additives like color pigments and modifiers to change physical and chemical characteristics and improve behaviour of the material during processing, that claims will from 2025 onwards normally not mention "100 %" anymore, because cards and the plastic films cards are made of do not usually consist of 100 % of one specific material, but are almost always a mix of different materials, with the dominant one providing the name. Additives and color pigments are usually virgin materials and hence do not count as part of the sustainable material content.

	116	+(((
