GRS certification, recycled fabric, available in the future

Environmentally friendly recycled fabric is a new fabric that can be used and sold by washing and processing waste chemical fibers, waste textiles and other waste polymer materials again. Environmentally friendly recycled fabrics are evolved from various materialsthrough technical means. In this process, there are many processes, reflecting the concept of environmental protection.

Why is recycled fabric becoming a hot spot?

1. Pursue the concept of sustainable development

The attention of the young generation to climate and environment has led to the birth of fashion environmentalism with the goal of pursuing sustainability. Under the influence of the concept of sustainable development, bio-based sources, recyclable regeneration and degradability are currently important meansto achieve sustainable development. Textile enterprises attach importance to the investment in environmental protection and sustainability. They not only select the optimized production process to greatly reduce the discharge of waste water, waste gas and wastematerials, and meet the requirements of relevant ecological and environmental protection certification, but also actively participate in and pass the GRS recycled fabric certification.

2. Demand of European market

The rise of recycled fabrics mainly stems from the European market. As the consumption of clothing in the EU has increased year by year, the service life of a single piece of clothing has decreased significantly, resulting in a large number of textile waste and pollution. To this end, the European Union government ordered that textile waste be banned, and required member countries to carry out special textile recycling from 2025 to improve the reuse rate of textile fabrics. European Union member states have turned their attention to recycled fabrics, bringing a large number of inquiries and orders for recycled fabrics to the market.

Certification of recycled ingredients

With the development of linear economy and circular economy, more and more enterprises began to advocate environmental protection and recycling of resources, resulting inGRS certification. GRS, the Global Recycle Standard, is an international, voluntary and complete product standard. It sets requirements for third-party certification, focusing on renewable components, social and environmental practices and chemical use in the entire supply chain. The goal of GRS is to increase the use of recycled materials in products and reduce/eliminate the hazards caused by their production. The Global Recovery Standard (GRS) is intended to be used with any product containing at least 20% recycled material. Only products with at least 50% recycled material content can meet the product-specific GRS label.

Recycled fabric, can be expected in the future!

It is indeed the trend of the times for environment-friendly recycled fabrics to comply with environmental protection. At present, the emerging "environment-friendly fabric market" has just started and is not mature in all aspects. It is urgent for textile workers to settle down to overcome difficulties and push recycled fabrics to a new height.

"Technology", "fashion" and "green" have become the new orientation of China's textile and clothing industry. It is a new opportunity to explore the harmonious coexistence of human and nature, and to carry out green innovative design on recyclability, renewable utilization, low energy and low consumption from the aspects of social responsibility and natural ecology, which will promote the transformation of the fashion industry.

For the future development of sustainable fashion, the sustainable development of recycled fabrics in China has a good industrial foundation, and consumers have more awareness and desire for environmental protection, so this is a good time to promote sustainable recycled fabrics.
