Explanation:
Det finnes ingen Internett-treff som tyder på at uttrykket "post-consumer materials" eller liknende definisjoner i forbindelse med resirkulerbare materialer brukes i Norge.

Det mest nærliggende er å kutte helt ut det som står i parentes, fordi det ikke gir noen mening i Norge, men alternativt kan du skrive for ekempel "minimum 95 % resirkulerbar", selv om det innebærer en gjetning.

Hvis du fjerner innholdet som står i parentes kan det hende at oppdragsigiveren din kommer tilbake og klager over at noe er blitt borte (jeg har dårlig erfaring med amerikanske oppdragsgivere i så måte).
