What does the GRS label mean?
The GRS (Global Recycled Standard) is one of the strictest international certifications for textiles containing recycled materials. It ensures that the recycled fibres used in a garment are genuine, verified and fully traceable.
What the GRS really checks
The GRS goes far beyond confirming the recycled content – it sets a comprehensive set of requirements that cover the entire manufacturing process. Key criteria include:
- Minimum percentage of recycled fibres (depending on the product).
- Full traceability of materials from the recycling stage to the finished product.
- Strict environmental requirements (limited chemicals, water management, waste handling).
- Safe working conditions and respect for fundamental human rights.
Why the GRS matters at JaOcCo
The GRS label applies mainly to our all-over collections and products using recycled polyester. It allows us to ensure that the materials used genuinely come from verified and certified recycling streams.
It reflects a strong commitment: every recycled JaOcCo piece meets clearly defined criteria, independently audited and transparently documented.
What it means for customers
Choosing a GRS-certified product means choosing a garment with recycled fibres that are verified, audited and traceable. It also supports a production model that reduces environmental impact by reusing existing materials.
In short: real recycling, independent control and credible sustainability.
