  • The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certifies that materials are recycled and present in the final stages of the product ensuring innovation and responsible processing of the fibres. 
  • The Organic Content Standard (OCS) assures the identity of the organic content is maintained: from the farm to the final product, due to an analysis done during each stage of the supply chain. 
  • The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is recognised as the world’s leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibres. Pyratex says that having this certification results in achieving high environmental and social standards along the entire organic textiles supply chain.
