The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is managed by Textile Exchange. It sets rules for recycled content claims and for how products can be labelled.
Content thresholds
- Products need at least 20% recycled material to be certified under GRS.
- Products need at least 50% recycled material to carry the GRS label for consumers.
What labelling requires
- Certified supply chain up to the labelling stage
- Transaction Certificates for the goods
- Following Textile Exchange's labelling and logo rules
Avoid common mistakes
- Do not use the logo without permission and certified goods
- Do not overstate the percentage of recycled content
- Keep records of every certified purchase
Always check the latest rules with Textile Exchange or your certification body, as standards are updated over time.
