eurotec® Implements GRS Standards in Recycled Content Certification
eurotec® certifies its products with a minimum of 20% recycled content through the Global Recycle Standard (GRS), which has been developed to advance recycling and sustainability.
This certification ensures that the recycled content of the raw material is verified and protected, and every movement of the product made from recycled raw material can be tracked from recycling to final sale, ensuring all processes are traceable and documentable. GRS provides various opportunities for the use of recycled materials and reducing environmental impacts. This approach not only adopts an environmentally friendly stance but also enhances competitiveness in the market, meets customer demands, and improves business processes for greater efficiency.
