GRS
Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is a voluntary product standard designed to track and verify the recycled content in a final product. It applies to the entire supply chain, covering aspects such as traceability, environmental principles, social requirements, chemical content, and labeling. The standard requires that products contain at least 20% recycled material and sets guidelines for third-party certification, chain of custody, social and environmental practices, and chemical restrictions.
GRS helps companies verify the recycled content of their products while ensuring responsible practices in terms of social, environmental, and chemical aspects during production. Although owned by Textile Exchange, the standard is not limited to textiles and can be applied to any product containing recycled materials.
GRS aims to provide brands with a reliable tool for accurate labeling, encourage innovation in the use of recycled materials, improve supply chain transparency, and offer consumers better information about the products they purchase. fashion.
