When it comes to sustainability in fashion, recycled materials are everywhere—from leggings made with recycled polyester to packaging crafted from post-consumer waste. But how can you be sure that the content in these products is truly recycled, and not just a marketing claim? That’s where SCS Recycled Content Certification steps in.

SCS stands for Scientific Certification Systems, a third-party certifier with deep roots in environmental and sustainability standards. Their Recycled Content Certification verifies the percentage of recycled material—whether post-consumer or pre-consumer—used in a product.

This certification is grounded in internationally recognized standards, including ISO 14021 and ISO 17065. It confirms not only that recycled content is present, but also that the claims are accurate and traceable through supply chain audits and material tracking.

The fashion industry is one of the largest consumers of virgin resources. Using recycled content helps reduce:

• Dependence on petroleum-based virgin synthetics
• Waste sent to landfills
• Energy and water consumption during production

But without third-party verification, recycled content claims can be murky—or downright misleading. That’s why certifications like SCS are so crucial. They turn good intentions into verified impact.

SCS can certify a wide variety of products in fashion, including:

• Recycled Polyester: Often made from PET bottles
• Recycled Nylon: Sourced from fishing nets, industrial waste, or old garments
• Recycled Cotton: Created from pre-consumer textile scraps or post-consumer denim
• Recycled Paper and Packaging: Used in tags, boxes, and printed materials

The certification label clearly states the percentage and type of recycled material used—giving consumers real, verifiable information.

SCS Recycled Content Certification comes with specific, easy-to-read claims, such as:

• “Made with 100% Recycled Polyester”
• “Contains 40% Post-Consumer Recycled Content”

Each claim is backed by documentation and audits to ensure accuracy. This level of transparency helps consumers make informed decisions and puts pressure on the industry to follow suit.

At Losano, we care deeply about what goes into our fabrics—and what doesn’t. Our high-performance pieces are made from recycled polyester or recycled nylon certified by SCS, giving plastic bottles a second life in a way that’s both stylish and sustainable.

We also choose SCS-certified recycled materials for our shipping boxes, hang tags, and marketing materials whenever possible. It’s part of our broader commitment to full-spectrum sustainability—from raw materials to final

Sustainability isn’t just about what should happen—it’s about what actually happens. SCS Recycled Content Certification bridges the gap between intention and action, providing hard data and third-party validation that you can trust.

When you see the SCS certification on a product, you know the recycled content is real, traceable, and making a difference.

At Losano, we don’t just talk about circularity—we build it into every piece we create. Because fashion should look good, feel good, and do good.
