An overview of the market trend & compliance issues on the use of recycled plastic and transforming them into clothing.

The demand for ever-new products, especially clothing, is high and seemingly rising.  One attempt to make the fashion industry more sustainable is to use recycled materials to reduce useless waste.  Many organizations make claims about the environmental benefits from products made with post- and pre-consumer waste content but have difficulty verifying and substantiating those claims.  A number of governmental bodies had since issued marketing guidelines or regulations that require marketers to substantiate their environmental claims and avoid any deceptive sustainability claims. 

SGS, an accredited body for Textile Exchange in China under the Textile Exchange – Content Claim Standard (CCS), Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) and Global Recycled Standard (GRS) services, can offer a certification scheme as a reliable tool for manufacturers, retailers and buyers to ensure the accuracy of the recycled content in their products.

Our experts will share their knowledge & insight that will allow participants to meet this growing need to ensure the accurate recycled content of their products hence boosting consumer confidence in their brands during the workshop.
