1. Global Reecycled Standard(GRS)
The Global Recycled Standard verifies recycled input material, tracks it from input to the final product, and ensures responsible social, environmental practices and chemical use through production.
The goal of GRS is to increase usue of Recycled materials in products and reduce/eliminate the harm caused by its production.
The Global Recycled Standard is intended for use with any product that contains at least 20% recycled material. Only products with at least 50% recycled content qualify for product-specific GRS labeling.
2. Recycled Claim Standard(RCS)
The RCS is an international, voluntary standard that sets requirements for third-party certification of recycled input and chain of custody. The goal of the RCS is to increase he use of recycled materials.
The RCS does not address social or environment aspects of processing and manufacturing, quality, or legal compliance.
The RCS is intended for use with any product that contains at least 5% recycled material.
3.Organic Content Standard(OCS)
The OCS is an international, voluntary standard that provides chain of custody verification for materials originating on a farm certified to recognized national organic standards.
The standard is used to verify organically grown raw materials from the farm to the final product. The goal of the Oranic Content Standard(OCS) is to increase organic agriculture production.
