Global Recycled Standard (GRS) Certification – Verified Sustainability from Recycled Materials
What is GRS Certification?
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is an internationally recognized certification designed to verify the recycled content in products while also ensuring responsible environmental, chemical, and social practices in the production process.
GRS is more than just a recycled material certification — it covers the entire supply chain, from raw material sourcing to final labeling, making it a comprehensive tool for sustainable product verification.
Why Choose GRS Certification?
With increasing consumer demand for transparency and eco-conscious production, GRS certification helps businesses:
Prove recycled content in their products
Ensure supply chain traceability from input to final product
Comply with chemical restrictions and environmental guidelines
Uphold social compliance standards for workers
Meet retailer and buyer requirements globally
GRS is the gold standard for brands that want to verify sustainability claims and eliminate greenwashing.
What Does GRS Cover?
Unlike basic recycled content standards, GRS includes:
Recycled Material Verification – Tracks post-consumer and pre-consumer recycled inputs
Chain of Custody – Transparent tracking across all supply chain stages
Restricted Substances – Prohibits the use of harmful chemicals in processing
Social Responsibility – Requires fair labor practices, health & safety, and no forced or child labor
Environmental Impact – Encourages water/energy efficiency and waste reduction
What Products Can Be GRS Certified?
GRS applies to a wide range of products and industries, including:
Textiles & Apparel (recycled cotton, polyester, nylon)
Fashion Accessories (bags, belts, wallets)
Yarn, fabric, trims, and threads
Home goods and furnishings
