DELAWARE – Technical textile supplier Gore Fabrics, which owns the Gore-Tex brand, has announced it has gained its full Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification for both of its manufacturing sites in Shenzhen, China and Putzbrunn, Germany.
GRS is an international, voluntary, full-product standard that sets requirements for third-party certification of recycled content, social and environmental practices, chemical restrictions, and chain of custody (CoC).
Gore Fabrics described the certification as a "major milestone in its continuous efforts to reduce the environmental footprint of providing high performance products".
