Do you know where your rPET comes from? ???? Recycled polyester (rPET) is a game-changer, but lately, the rise of "fake" rPET has posed a significant risk. Mislabeling regular plastic as recycled undermines trust and sustainability efforts, driving the importance of transparency within supply chains. So, how do you ensure your rPET is genuine? Enter the Global Recycled Standard (GRS). GRS is a rigorous certification that verifies the recycled content, ensures supply chain traceability, and upholds environmental and social principles. At TO THE MARKET, we work with GRS-certified suppliers to guarantee the highest standards of recycled materials so you can be confident that your rPET is responsibly sourced.
