As consumers continue to seek greater transparency in the products they purchase, NSF International's third-party validation of textile content claims helps support and protect brands and strengthen customer trust.

"We now offer a full range of sustainable third-party certifications including recycled and organic content, traceable down and responsible wool," said Jenny Oorbeck, General Manager of Sustainability at NSF International. "We apply NSF International's 70-plus years of certification expertise, global presence and quality to help the textile, footwear and apparel industries improve their sustainability, traceability and transparency."

NSF International's full responsible textile certification portfolio now includes:

In addition, the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) verifies responsible social, environmental and chemical practices in the production of both finished and intermediate products containing recycled content. The standard covers processing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, trading and distribution of all products made with a minimum of 20 percent recycled material.

Textile Exchange's Content Claim Standard (CCS) serves as the chain of custody foundation for the above content claim standards. The CCS verifies the presence and amount of raw material in a final product, allowing for transparent, consistent and comprehensive independent evaluation and verification of material content claims on products.
