Below, we provide an overview of key sustainability certifications and explain their significance when purchasing promotional gifts.

RCS (Recycled Content Standard)

We’ve all seen “green” claims on products that often lack proof. Products with the RCS label, however, offer transparency and help your brand create a truly eco-friendly image, as every component has a traceable origin. This is a material-based certification that confirms the authenticity of recycled materials.

• Purpose: To verify that products contain genuine recycled content.
• Scope: Covers the entire supply chain, except for printing.
• Includes:
  • Verification of recycled material content.
  • Traceability of recycled components.

GRS (Global Recycling Standard)

A GRS-certified product not only confirms the presence of recycled content but also ensures compliance with environmental, social, and chemical requirements. It assesses the entire production process, including chemical management, workers’ rights, and the carbon footprint of manufacturing.

• Purpose: To verify recycled material content and ensure socially responsible, high environmental standard production.
• Scope: Covers the entire supply chain from raw material recycling to the final product.
• Includes:
  • Verification of recycled material content.
  • Proof of low environmental impact.
  • Evidence of a socially responsible supply chain.
  • Compliance with chemical restrictions.
  • Certification of printing processes.

A GRS label signifies participation in a larger vision—a world where waste is given new life, and production respects both people and the planet.

FSC®: Responsible Wood and Paper Sourcing

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification ensures that wood and paper products come from responsibly managed forests and that their production considers ecological, social, and economic sustainability.

• Purpose: To promote responsible forest management, protect biodiversity, and respect indigenous communities.
• Scope: Covers the entire supply chain from raw wood to the final product.
• Includes:
  • Forest management verification.
  • Proof of low environmental impact.
  • Evidence of a socially responsible supply chain.
  • Economic sustainability.

FSC-certified products include notebooks, home decorations, and packaging. Choosing FSC-certified products helps preserve forests and ensure ethical wood sourcing. Every harvested tree is part of a larger responsible forestry plan, where new trees are planted, biodiversity is maintained, and local communities are respected.

GOTS: Traceable Organic Cotton

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the leading certification for organic textiles, verifying the sustainability of fabric from cotton cultivation to the final product. A GOTS-labeled fabric must contain at least 70% certified organic fibers.

• Purpose: To certify organic fiber content and compliance with strict social and environmental standards.
• Scope: Covers the entire supply chain from organic cotton fields to the final product.
• Includes:
  • Verification of organic fibers used in textiles.
  • Proof of low environmental impact.
  • Evidence of a socially responsible supply chain.
  • Compliance with chemical restrictions.

Choosing GOTS-certified products contributes to a more sustainable textile industry and reassures your customers that your products are ethical, eco-friendly, and reduce chemical use in manufacturing. GOTS is more than just a label—it is a commitment to a cleaner and fairer future.

OEKO-TEX®: Safe and Chemical-Free Textiles

The OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification guarantees that textiles are tested for harmful substances and comply with the strictest safety standards. Every certified product undergoes thorough laboratory tests to eliminate toxic dyes, heavy metals, and allergy-triggering chemicals.

• Purpose: To confirm that textiles are free from harmful chemicals and safe to use.
• Scope: Covers the entire supply chain from raw materials to the final product.
• Includes:
  • Testing for harmful substances.
  • Compliance with health and safety standards.
  • Regular audits and certification updates.

Whether it’s baby clothes, bedding, or sportswear, the OEKO-TEX® certification ensures that your branded clothing and accessories are free from harmful chemicals and safe for long-term use.
