The Global Recycle Standard is promoted by Textile Exchange, one of the most important international non-profit organizations for responsible and sustainable development in the textile sector. The standard recognizes the importance of recycling for the growth of a sustainable production and consumption model, with the aim of promoting the reduction of resource consumption (virgin raw materials, water and energy) and increasing the quality of recycled products.

The GRS provides for the release of an environmental declaration verified by a third party which ensures the content of recycled materials in their products, both intermediate and finished, the maintenance of traceability throughout the entire production process, restrictions in the use of chemical products and compliance with environmental and social criteria in all phases of the production chain from the recycling of materials, to the subsequent manufacturing phases, up to the labeling of the finished product. The phases that are not included in the certification are waste collection, sorting, selection and grouping. Products and manufacturing activities can be certified based on the GRS.

The Global Recycle Standard guarantees:

Products containing at least 20% pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled material;

Manufacturing activities and processes through which recycled material is used to create intermediate products (for example: yarns and fabrics) or finished products intended for the consumer, which use management models and procedures that comply with the established requirements.

Responsible Animal Fiber is promoted by Textile Exchange, one of the most important international non-profit organizations for responsible and sustainable development in the textile sector.

The RAF standard provides for the release of a third-party certification which guarantees the origin of wool, mohair or alpaca from responsibly managed farms, in compliance with stringent criteria for animal welfare and the reduction of environmental impact, and ensures the maintenance traceability throughout the entire production process. The entire production chain from livestock farms to the manufacturing of textile products is included in the certification.

Responsible Animal Fiber guarantees:

textile products containing at least 5% certified fibre;

manufacturing activities and processes that use management models and procedures that comply with the established requirements.
