The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) is used as a chain of custody standard to track recycled raw materials through the supply chain.
The GRS/RCS logo ensures the materials used in the product are genuinely recycled.
Difference between standards
The RCS and GRS are the same, except that the GRS is a more rigorous standard; in the GRS, there is a higher minimum content percentage (50%) and additional processing requirements that must be met (social, environmental, and chemical). So GRS items have a higher recycled content than RCS items.
