The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) verifies recycled content through the supply chain. It is a chain-of-custody standard focused on the material claim.
RCS 100
Used for products with 95% or more recycled material.
RCS Blended
Used for products with at least 5% and less than 95% recycled material.
RCS vs GRS
- RCS: verifies recycled content only
- GRS: verifies recycled content and adds social, environmental and chemical requirements
Which to choose
RCS suits brands that want to verify recycled content. GRS suits brands that also want assurance on how the product is made.
