Global Recycled Standard

The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is used by companies that are making and/or selling products with recycled content. The standard applies to the full supply chain and addresses traceability, environmental principles, social requirements and labelling. Although GRS developed with the textile industry, it can be applied to products from any industry (Url-32).

First developed in a lab in the 1940s, polyester is one of the world s most widely used fibres. But unfortunately, polyester is made from anon-renewable resources. That s why we ve been using recycled polyester for some years now. They main source of recycled polyester is PET plastic bottles and waste raw material left over from production. Independent third party certifieation follows the Global Recycling Standard (GRS). 

Recycled polyamide is ideal for jersey, used when making underwear and woven fabrics. It is made from textile production waste as well as fishing nets or carpets. Independent third party certification follows the Global Recycling Standard (GRS). 

Abstract RISKCYCLE is an artificial word which addresses the risks associated with the global recycling streams. As part of materials like waste paper, plastic, and electronics, pollutants and chemical additives are transported abroad, e.g., they are exported to emerging and developing countries. Here these pollutants/additives can cause risks for humans and the environment especially if treatment/recycling is performed on a lower technical standard. The specific risks that can occur have been studied in an international EU-funded research program, which is the basis of this publication.
