Recycled materials are making their way into everything—from leggings and lounge sets to packaging and hang tags. But how do you know that a product labeled as “recycled” is truly sustainable, traceable, and responsibly made? That’s where GRS comes in.

GRS stands for Global Recycled Standard. It’s a third-party certification developed by Textile Exchange that verifies not just the presence of recycled content, but also the social, environmental, and chemical practices involved in production.

GRS covers the entire supply chain—from raw material sourcing to the final product. To carry the GRS label, a product must contain at least 20% recycled content. For products claiming to be “GRS certified,” that threshold rises to 50% or more.

This certification is recognized internationally and is especially important in the textile industry, where greenwashing is all too common.

Using recycled content in fashion can:

• Reduce dependency on virgin materials
• Lower carbon, water, and energy footprints
• Divert waste from landfills and oceans
• Support a more circular economy

But without robust certification, claims of “eco” or “recycled” can be misleading. GRS ensures that the recycled content is real—and that it’s handled responsibly every step of the way.

GRS can be applied to a wide range of materials and products, including:

• Recycled Polyester (rPET): Typically made from PET plastic bottles
• Recycled Nylon: Often sourced from fishing nets and post-industrial waste
• Recycled Cotton: From pre-consumer or post-consumer textile waste
• Recycled Wool, Rubber, and Other Fibers: Expanding the scope of circular fashion

It also monitors the use of chemicals, ensuring they meet strict environmental and toxicity criteria. Social responsibility audits are part of the process too, checking for fair labor practices and safe working environments.

GRS-certified products come with transparent labeling that indicates:

• The percentage of recycled content
• Compliance with chemical, environmental, and labor standards
• Full traceability across the supply chain

This provides consumers with clear, verifiable information—turning sustainability from a buzzword into a measurable impact.

At Losano, we prioritize materials that meet the highest standards—not just in performance, but in ethics and environmental safety. That’s why many of our recycled fabrics carry GRS certification. It’s one more way we ensure that every garment is as clean on the inside as it looks on the outside.

From leggings to packaging, when you see the GRS label on a Losano product, you can trust that it meets rigorous criteria for both sustainability and social impact.

In a sea of sustainability claims, GRS certification brings structure, oversight, and truth. It’s one of the most comprehensive recycled content standards in the world—and it helps hold the fashion industry accountable.

At Losano, we believe you deserve to know not just what your clothes are made from, but how they were made. GRS helps us deliver that transparency, every step of the way.
