OCS (Organic Content Standard) is an international standard developed by Textile Exchange to verify the proportion and traceability of organic raw materials in products. The standard mainly ensures that the organic content claimed in products is authentic and verifiable, and that raw materials are controlled throughout the supply chain from source to garment to avoid confusion or adulteration.
RCS (Recycled Claim Standard) — Global Recycled Claim Standard, developed by Textile Exchange, is used to prove the authenticity of recycled materials in products and their supply chain traceability. This standard ensures that the entire process from recycled raw material procurement to final product delivery can be traced and verified. It is the basic version of GRS (Global Recycled Standard), focusing on recycled content verification and supply chain control.
RDS (Responsible Down Standard) issued by Textile Exchange aims to ensure that down and feathers come from supply chains that follow animal welfare. The RDS standard requires enterprises to ensure that animals are not abused and maintain traceability in all stages of the down supply chain (from hatching, breeding, slaughter, processing to finished products).
RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) is an international animal welfare and traceability standard developed by Textile Exchange (Textile Exchange), mainly applicable to the entire supply chain from wool raw material collection to finished product manufacturing. RWS certification ensures that wool raw materials come from farms that adhere to ethical breeding and sustainable animal husbandry through auditing of breeding management, animal welfare, environmental protection, social responsibility and traceability systems, and can be traced throughout the entire supply chain process.
RMS (Responsible Mohair Standard) is an international standard developed by Textile Exchange to verify the compliance of animal welfare, environmental protection and supply chain traceability in the mohair (mainly from Angora goats) production chain. Similar to RWS (Responsible Wool Standard), RMS focuses on ensuring animals receive humane and painless management and shearing, prohibiting abuse, neglect or improper handling, establishing pasture ecological protection and resource sustainability, and ensuring transparency and traceability throughout the supply chain.
RAS (Responsible Alpaca Standard) is a global animal responsibility and supply chain management standard developed by Textile Exchange (Textile Exchange). This standard aims to ensure that alpaca fiber sources meet animal welfare, humane breeding and environmental sustainable management requirements, and achieve traceability and transparency throughout the supply chain (from pasture to finished products).
GMO-Free certification (Non-GMO Certification) is a specialized qualification certification system for food, feed, agricultural products, textiles and raw materials, aiming to ensure that products do not contain any genetically modified components (Genetically Modified Organism) or their derivatives. This certification is usually executed according to international standards or regulations, such as EU 1829/2003 & 1830/2003 directives, Non-GMO Project Standard (USA), VLOG "Ohne Gentechnik" (German non-GMO standard), and ISO 22000 & 17065 traceability management principles.
Regenevate™ Regenerative Agriculture Standard is a new generation sustainable certification framework for agriculture, textile raw materials and food industries. Its vision is to achieve long-term ecosystem health and social balance through "Regeneration + Traceability + Impact Verification". The certification core focuses on soil health, water & biodiversity management, social responsibility & fair trade, and traceability & impact assessment.
| Module | Content Description | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| 🌾 Soil Health | Restore biodiversity, enhance carbon sequestration capacity | Regenerate land fertility and microbial ecology |
| 💧 Water & Biodiversity | Reasonable water use, maintain ecological balance | Reduce pollution and ecosystem degradation |
| 🌍 People & Fairness | Protect farmer rights and community welfare | Improve rural sustainable development capacity |

BCI (Better Cotton Initiative, Better Cotton Development Association) is currently the world's largest sustainable cotton project. BCI advocates reducing negative environmental impacts of agriculture, improving cotton farmer livelihoods and economic development, and enhancing supply chain sustainability. BCI Chain of Custody (CoC, Chain Custody System) is a core component of the BCI project, used to ensure "Better Cotton" is traceable, verifiable and separable throughout the supply chain, ensuring cotton contained in products sold with BCI claims complies with BCI sustainable agriculture principle sources.
BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) in post-2023 versions strengthened requirements for authenticity of member enterprise annual "Better Cotton Consumption" data. This verification project aims to verify whether the annual "Better Cotton consumption" values reported to BCI by enterprises are authentic and verifiable, whether consistency exists between declared cotton consumption and production, procurement, inventory and transaction volumes, and to prevent overestimation and false reporting of Better Cotton usage proportions.
SFA (The Sustainable Fibre Alliance, Sustainable Fibre Alliance) headquartered in the UK, is an international non-profit organization dedicated to promoting ethical, traceable and sustainable development. Its main standards focus on sustainable cashmere and other animal fibers. SFA is committed to building a complete custody chain system from pasture to finished products through control of pasture management, animal welfare, environmental protection and social responsibility.
EN 15343:2007 is a plastics recycling and traceability management standard issued by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), with full title "Plastics – Recycled Plastics – Plastics Recycling Traceability and Assessment of Conformity and Recycled Content". This standard defines traceability requirements for recycled plastics, certification methods and batch control processes for recycling processes, calculation methods for recycled content, and compliance auditing and supply chain verification within certification systems. Its purpose is to ensure authenticity, verifiability and regulatory compliance of "recycled content" claimed in recycled plastic products.
RETRAY Certified Scheme is managed by European Plastics Recycling Circularity System Foundation (E.P.R.C.), a certification scheme specifically for PET plastic trays (Thermoformed PET Trays) and packaging recycling systems based on EN 15343 standard. RETRAY project goals include promoting closed-loop recycling and regeneration systems for food and non-food packaging trays, establishing unified "Traceability + Recycled Content + Design for Recycling" management models, providing third-party certification documents needed for European market sales, and supporting recycled content reporting under EU regulatory frameworks (EU SUP Directive, CE Packaging Regulation).
