The Global Recycled Standard is an international, voluntary, full product standard that sets requirements for third-party certification of recycled content, chain of custody, social and environmental practices, and chemical restrictions. The objectives of the GRS are to define requirements to ensure accurate content claims, good working conditions, and that harmful environmental and chemical impacts are minimized. The standard covers processing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, trading and distribution of all products made with a minimum of 20% recycled material. Hence in Vivify Textiles, all our recycled polyester range is made from GRS certified yarn. For more information about checking the certification, please click here. 

 

GOTS certification is a  recognised world's leading standard for Organic textiles. It complies with high-level environmental criteria along the entire organic textiles supply chain with strict social criteria as well. Textile products that contain a minimum of 70% organic fibres can only be certified by GOTS. All chemical inputs such as dyestuffs and auxiliaries used must meet certain environmental and toxicological criteria. With factories that are certified by GOTS, it is mandatory that there is a functional waste water treatment plant for any wet-processing unit involved and all processors must comply with social criteria. GOTS monitors  quality assurance system, water and energy consumption of the factories as well as ensuring the production process complies with highest organic fibre standards.
