This global organization has established a framework for monitoring the amount of recycled materials used in products and can track the source and flow of recycled materials throughout the supply chain. GRS It is not only widely used in the textile and apparel industries, but also widely accepted in various industries that use recycled materials as components ，especially widely used in the plastic packaging industry 。

EN15343 (European standard for traceability of plastic recycling and recycled material content) ensures that plastic manufacturers and packers meet stringent traceability and recycling requirements. This is often a key factor in regulatory compliance and is crucial for obtaining tax breaks for non-reusable plastic packaging.

GRS Emphasis on five aspects:

Recycled material content: compliant GRS Certified products must contain at least 20 % of recycled materials.

Traceability throughout the supply chain: every step from raw material procurement to the final product. It will be transparently tracked and recorded. This gives consumers complete confidence that the products they buy contain the specified proportion of recycled materials.

Environmental and social responsibility: GRS Standards have been developed to reduce the environmental impact throughout the production process. This includes water and energy use, waste generation, and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, it also emphasizes social responsibility, safety, and fair working conditions throughout the supply chain to promote overall sustainability.

Chemical use restrictions: GRS The use of certain chemicals in the production of recycled materials * is restricted to reduce environmental and health risks.

Transparent verification process: to ensure that various product applications GRS The certification process is correct and transparent, requiring independent and impartial third-party verification.

EN15343 Three aspects emphasized:

Regulates the production requirements of recycled plastic materials, including the collection, sorting, cleaning, and processing of plastic waste.

Quality requirements for recycled plastic materials, including physical, mechanical, and chemical properties.

Defines the requirements for processing recycled plastic materials, including product manufacturing, repair, recycling, and mixing with other materials. 。
