FAQ

Can every garment be called GRS?

No. Claims depend on mill, material scope and transaction certificate requirements for that PO.

What is a GRS transaction certificate?

A TC documents the recycled input chain for a specific transaction — usually under NDA with the mill path.

Is recycled nylon the same hand as virgin?

It can be matched — always swatch and lock the hand against your library base.

What about packaging GRS licence?

Licence D26089-G4 covers packaging & accessories scope — not automatic garment fibre claims.
