Global Recycled Standard (GRS) Specification Targets for Buyers
Setting Global Recycled Standard (GRS) correctly on a tech pack prevents most later disputes. Targets belong on the page before the first fabric sample.
Where to write it
Place Global Recycled Standard (GRS) next to composition and weight so all three are quoted as one package. Working figures for Global Recycled Standard (GRS) normally sit around requires transaction certificates in mainstream production. Note Textile Exchange scheme on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Reference level
Typical activewear expectation: requires transaction certificates. Record elastane content alongside Global Recycled Standard (GRS), because blends shift the measured value. A result outside requires transaction certificates usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
Tolerances that work
Allow a small tolerance rather than a fixed number, since normal process variation exists in every lot. Keeping reference values for Global Recycled Standard (GRS) lets suppliers quote without extra sampling rounds. Ask for conditioning details together with Textile Exchange scheme, since both affect the reading.
Verification method
Confirm with Textile Exchange scheme and keep the report against the bulk record. Working figures for Global Recycled Standard (GRS) normally sit around requires transaction certificates in mainstream production. Note Textile Exchange scheme on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Commercial note
Tightening beyond practical need raises cost without improving garment life, so set the tightest target only where it protects the customer. Record elastane content alongside Global Recycled Standard (GRS), because blends shift the measured value. A result outside requires transaction certificates usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
