Recycled Claim Standard (RCS)

Benefits

• Verifying Recycled Materials: Materials are verified to meet the ISO definition of recycled. Both pre-consumer and post-consumer material is accepted.
• Responsable Production: GRS sites are required to meet strict social and environmental requirements. Chemicals with potential for harm are not permitted to be used on GRS products.
• Confident Communication: Products that meet all requirements may be labelled with the RCS or GRS logo.
• Chain of custody: Certification ensures that the identity of the recycled material is maintained: from the recycler to the final product.
• Credible certification: A professional, third party certification body audits each stage in the supply chain.
• Stakeholder engagement: The RCS and GRS are managed with the input of recyclers, suppliers, and brands and retailers from all parts of the globe.
