Eco Facts:
GRS, The Global Recycled Standard, is a third-party certification that guarantees that:
- toxic chemicals are not used at any step in the recycling process;
- thorough water treatment is required at each step of the production process (because even benign chemicals, like salt, if expelled in wastewater, will eventually destroy the local eco- system)
- workers rights, and health and safety standards are maintained.
If you MUST use plastic fabric (human-made from petroleum), please insist on GRS certified fabric. There is a huge difference between recycled plastic and GRS recycled plastic. What are the differences? oecotextiles.blog/2011/09/09/global-recycle-standard
