We use a combination of best practices and third-party certifications to guide our processes and check our products. This work helps our customers verify their own standards for sustainable compliance and messaging.
Global Tracking
We value transparency in all that we do. Products certified to the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) contain recycled material that has been independently verified at each stage of the supply chain, from the recycler to the final product. In addition, social, environmental, and chemical criteria related to processing are required.
Recycled Content Certification
Each year, our certified REPREVE products, as well as our recycled processes, production records, and operations, are audited by SCS Global Services to obtain our SCS Recycled Content Certifications. Percentages of recycled content may vary by product. This third-party assurance ensures that our customers, and the consumer, can feel confident in knowing that REPREVE is using waste to create something great.
Confidence in Textiles
To ensure the well-being of our customers as well as the planet, an assortment of products, including select virgin polyester and nylon yarns, and select REPREVE polyester and nylon yarns, are also the recipients of the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® label. This certification verifies that our certified yarns are free of harmful levels of more than 1,000 restricted chemicals. STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX is currently the world’s leading label for textiles screened for harmful substances.
OceanCycle is a social enterprise focused on preventing ocean-bound plastic pollution and improving livelihoods in coastal communities through certification and direct social interventions. We use OceanCycle to help certify the recycled plastic bottles for our REPREVE Our Ocean® products.
