Global Recycled Standard (GRS) Certificate

The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is a certification mechanism belonging to Control Union (CU). Its primary objective is to ensure that manufacturers claiming to produce environmentally friendly products utilize GRS-certified materials. Besides, the certificate ensures that manufacturers and traders adhere to regulations associate with quality management, social responsibility, chemical management and environmental management. 

In order to ensure the authenticity of a recycled product, the GRS requests material suppliers to upload purchase orders, delivery notes and invoices to the GRS online system. This process enables them to provide transaction certificate (TC) for the next processor. Consequently, every supplier involved in the supplier chain of an environmentally friendly product must possess GRS certificate to enable the last processor of the product to provide TCs to end buyers. 

By receiving TCs or observing GRS label on goods, both brand clients and consumers can be confident that the products they are purchasing are truly environmentally friendly. These TCs and labels serve as tangible evidences proving that the products are manufactured using GRS-certified materials and that the entire supply chain has met the required GRS-related standards.
