GRS.

GRS stands for Global Recycled Standard. It certifies that recycled materials actually are what they claim to be. That the raw material is traceable, that the recycling process is sound, and that the end product is entitled to carry the claim. Independently verified, through the whole chain.

why it matters.

Recycled shows up on plenty of labels. But without verification it's just a marketing term. GRS makes it checkable. It sets requirements for the origin of the raw material, the production process, and the social and ecological conditions along the way. From waste stream to finished product. Every step is documented and checked.

For us, transparency isn't an add-on. It's the foundation.

what the certificate covers.

• Minimum 20% recycled material required, from 50% the full GRS claim can be made
• Traceable from waste stream to end product
• Requirements for social conditions and environmental practices throughout the production chain
• Applies to all types of recycled material, synthetic and natural
• Independent verification by certified auditors

in the collection.

GRS applies to products with recycled fibers, such as recycled polyamide and recycled polyester. Where it applies, it's stated on the product page and the hangtag.
