The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) addresses recycled content and traceability through the textile supply chain. Kingly’s scope covers listed products and processing activities and helps buyers assess which recycled textile options suit their brief.
Certified scope
Check the product appendix for the applicable material combination and labelling requirements. Request a transaction certificate covering the delivered goods before making a GRS claim.
Documents and verification
Approved resellers can sign in to review record identifiers, dates and the watermarked specimen. For project-specific evidence, contact Kingly.

Questions and answers
Does the GRS scope certificate prove a delivered order is certified?
No. The document explicitly requires a valid transaction certificate covering the goods delivered. Ask Kingly which evidence applies to the order.
Which products and facilities does the GRS certificate cover?
Use the product and site appendices. The scope includes the listed socks and hosiery and the documented activities at Kingly’s Sopot facility. It is not a blanket claim for every product or subcontractor.
Does GRS mean lower impact for every measure?
The certificate is not a product life-cycle assessment. Any numerical carbon, water or other impact comparison needs separate data, boundaries and methodology.
Can I use the GRS label on my order?
Confirm the applicable product entry, label grade, transaction evidence and approval requirements before using a claim or label.
