What is GRS?
GRS stands for Global Recycled Standard. It’s a special rulebook that helps factories make clothes using recycled materials. Recycled materials mean old things like plastic bottles or old clothes are turned into new fabric instead of being thrown away. Cool, right?
Why is GRS Important?
When we recycle, we help our planet! Making new clothes from old stuff saves water, energy, and reduces trash. Imagine turning 10 plastic bottles into a shiny new T-shirt! GRS makes sure companies follow these eco-friendly steps so Earth stays clean and green.

Bangladesh is famous for making lots of clothes. Many factories here are now using GRS to create recycled clothes for big brands. This means when you see a “made in Bangladesh” tag, it might be helping the planet too! By using GRS, Bangladesh is becoming a leader in eco-friendly fashion.
How Can You Help?
Kids can be recycling heroes! Here’s how:
Recycle old clothes: Donate or swap them instead of tossing.
Look for recycled tags: Ask your parents to check labels for “GRS” or “recycled.”
