Recycled Nylon Activewear Fabric — GRS TC Without Over-Claims

Recycled paths are available — but garment claims need mill scope and transaction certificates. Do not label every style ‘GRS’ by default.

Quick answers

GRS-certified options are available subject to the selected mill, material scope and transaction certificate requirements.

Ask for recycled % and polymer type (nylon vs rPET).
Ask whether the claim is fibre, fabric or finished garment.
Keep marketing copy aligned to paperwork.

Swim programmes

See GRS TC for swim and AquaForm™ for chlorine-aware bases.

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.
