Certified recycled materials
Aim of the project :
To incorporate certified recycled materials (whose origin is traced) in our existing products and in new products, so that we have a wider range of products containing recycled materials.
To make sure that the material we call "recycled" comes from a genuine post-consumer waste collection process (i.e. the material has already been used once and then recycled), we rely on two internationally recognised certifications: GRS (Global Recycled Standard) and RCS (Recycled Claim Standard) Both are international, voluntary standards that ensure the traceability of recycled products throughout the production process. To have a product certified as GRS or RCS, it is imperative that the brand obtains paid certification, carried out by independent third-party bodies. Checks and verifications are carried out once a year. |
GRS (Global Recycled Standard) is the more advanced of the two certifications: :
To obtain and maintain GRS certification, requirements must be met in a number of areas:
- Traceability of recycled materials throughout the production process
- Environmental management: waste water control system, good waste management, responsible energy consumption, limiting the use of chemicals, etc.
- Social management: employee rights, minimum age for recruitment, health and safety of workers, etc.
- Management of chemical processes
RCS (Recycled Claim Standard)
The only requirement is that recycled materials must be traceable throughout the production process.
Under RCS certification, no environmental, social or chemical criteria are taken into account.
2024
- GRS and RCS certified by the independent third-party organisation Ecocert Greenlife (licence number: 267872)
- Complete silhouette from head to toe with products containing GRS / RCS certified materials.
- Integration of recycled materials into products already in the range and GRS / RCS certification of products.
In the future
Offer more products incorporating certified recycled materials
