The GRS (Global Recycled Standard) is one of the strictest international certifications for textiles containing recycled materials. It ensures that the recycled fibres used in a garment are genuine, verified and fully traceable.
What the GRS really checks
The GRS goes far beyond confirming the recycled content – it sets a comprehensive set of requirements that cover the entire manufacturing process. Key criteria include:
- Minimum percentage of recycled fibres (depending on the product).
- Full traceability of materials from the recycling stage to the finished product.
- Strict environmental requirements (limited chemicals, water management, waste handling).
- Safe working conditions and respect for fundamental human rights.
Why the GRS matters at JaOcCo
The GRS label applies mainly to our all-over collections and products using recycled polyester. It allows us to ensure that the materials used genuinely come from verified and certified recycling streams.
It reflects a strong commitment: every recycled JaOcCo piece meets clearly defined criteria, independently audited and transparently documented.
What it means for customers
Choosing a GRS-certified product means choosing a garment with recycled fibres that are verified, audited and traceable. It also supports a production model that reduces environmental impact by reusing existing materials.
In short: real recycling, independent control and credible sustainability.
