RECYCLED

Global Recycled Standard (GRS)

Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is an voluntary international standard released by Textile Exchange that assesses recycled content and restricts the chemical composition of a finished product. The standard applies to the full supply chain and addresses traceability, environmental principles, social requirements, chemical content and labeling. With GRS certification, you can communicate to customers your commitment to truth in materials and support for a circular economy that reduces waste by using it to make new products.

GRS-labelled products must contain a minimum of 50% recycled content.

The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS))

The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) is an international, voluntary standard released by Textile Exchange that sets requirements for third-party certification of Recycled input and chain of custody. The goal of the RCS is to increase the use of Recycled materials and uses the chain of custody requirements of the Content Claim Standard (CCS). The Recycled Claim Standard is intended for use with any product that contains at least 5% Recycled Material. Each stage of production is required to be certified, beginning at the recycling stage and ending at the last seller in the final business-to-business transaction. Material Collection and Material Concentration sites are subject to self-declaration, document collection, and on-site visits.
