RCS: tracking recycled content
Look beyond the standard name when evaluating material claims.
What is RCS?
The Recycled Claim Standard is one of Textile Exchange’s standards relating to recycled materials. It addresses recycled-content claims and tracking of the material through the supply chain.
Match the certificate to the product
The presence of a standard name in a catalog alone does not explain product scope. Check which certificate is provided for the product you plan to purchase and whether it is valid.
Ask for verifiable information
Share your recycled-material requirement at the beginning of the order discussion. Evaluate marketing language separately from verified product information. This explanation is not a certification claim for products on the site.
