♻️ 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
