GRS is an international, voluntary standard, entirely dedicated to products that defines the requirements for outsourced certification of recycled material, chain of custody, social and environmental practices and chemical restrictions. |
Recycled Claim Standard RCS is used as a chain of custody standard to track recycled raw materials through the supply chain. According to the label, the RCS offers two varieties of logos: RCS 100 (minimum content of recycled material of 95%) or mixed RCS (minimum content of recycled material of 5%). The standard was developed through the work carried out by the Material Traceability Working Group, part of the OIA Sustainability Working Group. |
