GRS & RCS Certifications

Our EcoMade family of recycled polyester products made from bottles is GRS certified. The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is a voluntary product standard for tracking and verifying the content of recycled materials in a final product. The standard applies to the full supply chain and addresses traceability, environmental principles, social requirements, labeling, and chemicals used in the processing of GRS products. To help you and your customers make informed decisions, GRS provides assurance that materials in the final product are recycled and processed more sustainably. Polyester products recycled from textile waste and recycled LYCRA® fiber are certified to the Recycled Content Standard (RCS). Contact us for more information and the verification tool to support your order and shipment. For a complete listing of the fibers which have been certified to GRS and RCS, please consult The LYCRA Company's Scope certificate.
