Understanding the Global Recycled Standard

Published | January 27, 2025

Introduction: The Global Recycle Standard, or GRS, is an international standard used to set voluntary requirements for third-party certification in various areas such as Chain of Custody, Recycled Content, Social and Environmental practices, and even Chemical Restrictions. As the GRS aims to trace and track recycled materials within the finished product, GSCS, an independent, third-party certification body that undertakes individual, yearly audits, is responsible for GRS Certification.
