The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) was originally developed by Certified Universal (CU) in 2008 and on January 1, 2011, ownership was transferred to the Textile Exchange. The Global Recycling Standard (GRS) is an international, voluntary and comprehensive product standard that establishes third-party certification requirements for recycled content, chain-of-custody, social and environmental practices, and chemical restrictions The goal of the GRS is to increase the use of recycled materials in products and to reduce/eliminate the hazards associated with their production.
