It represents a pivotal shift in connecting this work more directly to measurable outcomes for climate, nature, people, and animals.  <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe new standard sets detailed requirements for the production and primary processing of raw materials\u2014from how land, water, and energy are used, to how working conditions, animal welfare, emissions, chemicals, and waste are managed. Its purpose is to provide a common language and shared direction for the industry, while recognizing the unique contexts of different material producers, processors, and the communities and landscapes they depend on.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe criteria for Materials Matter Standard were released on December 12, 2025, with the standard becoming effective on December 31, 2026 and mandatory from December 31, 2027. From that point, all Tier 4 organizations will need to complete their next audit to the new standard to maintain their certification. <br \/>\r\n  <br \/>\r\nFor more information on the timeline, transition, and relevant information regarding mohair, please visit the Materials Matter Standard and standards transition pages.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"link-with-\u0441ircle\" href=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/standards-transition\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFind out more about the transition\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section id=\"page-block-block_a65001a3ca8de036011b6305f65d9497\" class=\"acf-block block-content-image has-cloud-background-color\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row align-items-center\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"block-content-image__col col-12 col-lg-5 content-left\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-content-image__content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6>Goals<\/h6>\n<h2>Increasing transparency and assurance for recycled fibers<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The RCS and GRS have three main objectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Align definitions of \u201crecycled\u201d across different applications.<\/li>\n<li>Verify recycled content in products.<\/li>\n<li>Give brands and consumers a means to make informed buying decisions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The GRS has additional aims:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduce the harmful impact of production on people and the environment.<\/li>\n<li>Provide assurance that products are processed in a more climate-friendly way.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage higher proportions of recycled content in products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"block-content-image__col col-12 col-lg-6 offset-lg-1 image-right order-lg-last\">\n\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"aspectratio ratio-4x3 block-content-image__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/recycled-fabric-630x474.jpg\" class=\"attachment-half-width-hard size-half-width-hard\" alt=\"recycled fabric scraps.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/recycled-fabric-630x474.jpg 630w, https:\/\/textileexchange.org\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/recycled-fabric-630x474@2x.jpg 1260w\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section id=\"page-block-block_2335d4468f0387873799b724d78614cf\" class=\"block-video-gallery acf-block block-bullets-image has-cloud-background-color\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"block-bullets-image__col col-12 col-lg-5 offset-lg-1 bullets-right order-lg-last\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-bullets-image__content-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"overline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHOW IT WORKS\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTracing recycled inputs from source to store.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"is-style-check-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Recycled material verification<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span><p>Materials are verified to meet the ISO definition of \u201crecycled.\u201d Both pre-consumer and post-consumer material is accepted.<\/p>\n<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Responsible production<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span><p>GRS sites are required to meet strict social and environmental requirements.
