▌ GRS Certification

GRS is a comprehensive set of evaluation standards for recycled products, including the verification of recycled content in products, traceability of recycled materials in the supply chain, quality control of recycled product production processes, corporate social responsibility, environmental management, and chemical prohibition. Enterprises that meet the above conditions and whose products contain more than 20% recycled content can apply for GRS certification. It should be noted that in order to use the GRS logo to hang on the product and communicate the environmental value of the product to downstream and consumers, the recycled content of the product must be no less than 50%.

At the same time, in order to avoid unnecessary costs for enterprises caused by repeated assessments, the GRS standard also sets equivalent standards in each module. For example, in the social responsibility module, if the enterprise has successfully passed the BSCI or SA8000 assessment, it can submit relevant certificates within the validity period when applying for certification for partial or full exemption.

▌Certification validity period

Valid for one year, subject to annual review
