Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) Certification – Verified Recycled Content

What is RCS Certification?

The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) is an internationally recognized certification that verifies the presence and amount of recycled material in a product. It provides third-party assurance that the recycled content used in your goods is authentic, traceable, and responsibly handled through the entire supply chain.

Whether you’re using recycled polyester, nylon, cotton, paper, or other materials, RCS certification allows you to make credible, transparent claims about the recycled content in your products.

Why RCS Certification Matters

With increasing demand for sustainable and circular products, brands and suppliers need more than just words — they need proof.

RCS Certification:

  • Validates the use of recycled inputs (post-consumer or pre-consumer)

  • Ensures chain-of-custody traceability through every production stage

  • Enables the use of the RCS label for market differentiation

  • Supports responsible sourcing and environmental stewardship

  • Meets the requirements of global retailers and conscious consumers

Types of RCS Labels

  • RCS 100: For products containing 95–100% recycled material

  • RCS Blended: For products with at least 5% recycled content, blended with virgin materials

What Products Can Be RCS Certified?

RCS applies to any product that includes recycled materials, such as:

  • Textiles & garments (recycled polyester, recycled cotton)

  • Accessories (bags, hats, belts)

  • Yarns, fabrics, trims, and packaging

  • Recycled packaging and paper goods

  • Toys, home furnishings, and lifestyle products

How RCS Certification Works

  1. Raw Material Verification

    • Recycled input must be certified and documented

  2. Chain-of-Custody Certification

    • Every stage of processing, from collection to final manufacturing, must be audited by an approved certification body

  3. Transaction Certificates (TCs)

    • Each step is tracked using verified documentation to prevent substitution or contamination

  4. Labeling & Certification

    • Once approved, you may use the RCS logo and certification number on product labels and marketing materials
