Cotton yarns with recycled content – GRS-certified

GRS-certified recycled cotton yarns.

Our GRS-certified recycled yarns contain recycled cotton fibres in accordance with Textile Exchange guidelines – depending on the yarn quality, at least 20 % for B2B certification and at least 50 % for product labelling. The recycled content and the material’s journey through the certified supply chain are independently audited in accordance with the Global Recycled Standard. This ensures you receive traceable information and the relevant documentation for your product communications.

Global Recycled Standard Label

Recycled cotton instead of exclusively new fibres.

The use of recycled cotton fibres replaces a corresponding proportion of new cotton fibres. The Global Recycled Standard verifies the declared recycled content and its traceability through the certified supply chain.
 

Requirements for processing and working conditions.

The Global Recycled Standard supplements the requirements for recycled content and traceability with social, environmental and chemical criteria for certified processing facilities. These include guidelines for chemical management, the use of water, energy, wastewater and waste, as well as requirements regarding working conditions.
 

GRS certification for your textile products.

Many B2B customers and end consumers look for documented quality. With our GRS-certified cotton yarns, you can provide your customers with transparent and verifiable proof of the recycled content used. We will, of course, provide you with the necessary documentation.
