What are the most basic conditions and requirements for GRS certification? The answer is……

GRS (Global Recycled Standard) is a global recycling standard that many large foreign companies advocate for environmental protection. Therefore, suppliers are required to undergo GRS certification, which is a traceability certification. Throughout the entire supply chain, all enterprises involved in production and trading processes need to undergo certification, such as yarn factories, dyeing factories, fabric factories, garment factories, and trading companies.

Conditions for GRS certification

The basic condition for GRS certification is that the recycled content of the product needs to be greater than 20%

GRS label usage conditions: The product recycling content needs to be greater than 50%

GRS application process

The enterprise applies to the certification agency, and the agency will arrange auditors to come to the enterprise for on-site audit. The enterprise needs to prepare corresponding documents and materials, and the on-site environment of the enterprise needs to comply with GRS certification standards. After the audit is passed, the certificate will be obtained.

How to manage GRS traceability

After obtaining the GRS certificate, enterprises can accept orders from GRS. However, due to the need for control in the later stage, the previous supplier must issue a TC transaction certificate to downstream customers. TC is issued by the institution, and it is also necessary to obtain the certificate in order to be eligible to issue a TC certificate.

By obtaining GRS certification, it not only enhances the green and environmental competitiveness of recycled textiles and clothing enterprises, but also makes the production history of textile and clothing enterprises more transparent, ensuring that the raw materials are sourced from 100% of various recycled raw materials or mixed with raw materials. It can also prove that each production process, including wastewater treatment and the use of chemicals, meets the requirements of international ecological textile standards, and social responsibility is also implemented in accordance with the standards of the International Labour Organization, Obtaining GRS certification is itself a beautiful business card for enterprises.
