What is GRS(Global Recycle Standard)

The Global Recycle Standard (GRS), issued by Control Union, is intended to establish independently verified claims as to the amount of recycled content in a yarn. The GRS provides a track and trace certification system that ensures that the claims you make about a product can be officially backed up. It consists of a three-tiered system with the Gold standard requiring products to contain between 95 percent to 100 percent recycled material; the Silver standard requires products to be made of between 70 percent to 95 percent recycled product; and the Bronze standard requires products to have a minimum of 30 percent recycled content.

And – we think this is even more important –  in addition to the certification of the recycled content, the GRS looks at the critical issues of processing and workers rights.  This new standard holds the weaver to similar standards as found in the Global Organic Textile Standard:

• companies must keep full records of the use of chemicals, energy, water consumption and waste water treatment including the disposal of sludge;

• all prohibitied chemicals listed in GOTS are also prohibited in the GRS;

• all wastewater must be treated for pH, temperature, COD and BOD before disposal;

• there is an extensive section related to worker’s health and safety.
