Global Recycled Standard

The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is a voluntary product standard for tracking and verifying the content of recycled materials in a final product. The standard applies to the full supply chain and addresses traceability, environmental principles, social requirements, chemical content and labeling. GRS covers processing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, trading and distribution of all products made with a minimum of 20% recycled material. It also sets requirements for third-party certification of recycled content, chain of custody, social and environmental practices, and chemical restrictions. The standard supports companies looking to verify the recycled content of their products as well as responsible social, environmental and chemical practices in the production of these products. Although the GRS is owned by Textile Exchange, the range of products is not limited to textiles and can include any type of product containing recycled content materials. The desired effect of GRS is to provide brands with a tool for more accurate labeling, to encourage innovation in the use of reclaimed materials, to establish more transparency in the supply chain, and to provide better information to consumers.

Products must include a minimum of 20% recycled materials to obtain the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), although at least 50% is needed for the product to be labeled with the GRS logo.

What does the Global Recycling Standard (GRS) cover?

GRS is defined as a full-product standard, meaning it makes sure the recycled content is maintained throughout the chain of custody from feedstock to final product. Each stage of production along the supply chain must be certified, beginning at the recycling stage and ending in the final business-to-business (B2B) transaction. If at any stage along the way there is no GRS certification, the final product cannot be certified.

It is extremely important that Recover is GRS certified because, as a recycler, we are at the very beginning of the chain of custody. This way, the brands and supply chain partners that collaborate with us can produce GRS certified products and obtain certification as well.
