What Is the Difference Between GRS and RCS for Recycled Sportswear?

The Recycled Claim Standard and Global Recycled Standard both verify recycled material and its chain of custody within their scopes.

GRS also includes additional social, environmental, and chemical requirements for processing. Product eligibility, claims, and labeling rules must be checked separately; one certificate does not establish permission for every marketing statement. Verify current requirements and applicable transition arrangements with the certification body, then match the evidence to the actual product and shipment.
