GRS标准主要包含那些内容
GRS认证主要涉及的内容有GRS生产管理体系、社会责任、环境、化学品使用管理，GRS标签使用等内容。
1.社会责任部分：
①涉及GRS产品生产的企业雇用的工人，受强有力的社会责任政策的保护。
②GRS社会要求是基于全球社会责任合规方案的原则。在所有情况下，国际劳工标准、国家和/或地方立法或最严格的GRS要求，其适用程度应不违反适用法律。
2.环境部分：
①参与GRS产品生产的企业应具有高度的环保意识。
②对工厂产生的废水要有定期监测/测试。
③GRS的环境要求适用于认证组织内的所有业务。在所有情况下，适用最严格的国家和/或地方法规或GRS要求。
3.化学品部分：
1.用于生产GRS产品的化学品不会对环境或工人造成不必要的伤害。
2.GRS仅适用GRS产品制造过程中化学品的使用和管理。该标准不适用于整个设施，而仅适用于GRS产品的生产。GRS不涉及最终产品中存在的化学品，因为它不能控制在GRS生产链中用作初始投入的回收产品中可能存在的任何化学品。
3.产品再生成分和供应链要求：
①适用于回收含量要大于等于20％的产品。
②声明的回收材料应遵循从投入到最终产品的完整、经过验证的监管链。
提醒：很多企业在环境、社会责任、化学品管理方面基础比较薄弱，所以造成GRS认证存在一定的难度。

According to the ITMF’s Global Textile Industry Survey (GTIS) conducted in the first half of July 2023, the business situation improved on average worldwide in July 2023 despite remaining negative. An increasing number of companies have adapted to the harsh business environment and are now reporting improvements. A regional analysis shows that Asia is struggling the most and South America is back in positive territory. The global business expectations did not change since March 2023. All regions remain optimistic about the situation in 6 months-time, except for East Asia. Weavers / knitters and dyers / finishers / printers are two segments where the expectations have turned negative.
Order intake remains negative in all regions and all segments despite a slight increase recorded in July 2023. Garment, home textile and technical textile producers have registered significant improvements, though the balance stays negative. Order backlog fell to the lowest level recorded in the GTIS. An increase could be observed only in South America and for technical textiles. Globally, companies are not expecting order intake to improve in such a manner that order backlog goes up significantly. The capacity utilization rate hit the lowest level since the start of this survey as well. It has steadily decreased in Asia and Europe since 2021 and dropped for home textile and technical textile producers lately. The major concern worldwide remains by far “Weakening demand” in July 2023. A second distant concern is “Inflation” closely followed by “Higher raw material prices”, “Geopolitics”, and “Higher energy prices”. Some positive signs are that costs for logistics, energy and raw material have fallen in the past few months and “Geopolitics” has not risen in the ranking. The number of cancelled orders remained relatively low globally. Most companies in the textile supply chain report average or low inventories levels which makes cancellations obsolete. Interestingly, 96% of garment manufacturers report average or low inventory levels. Spinners, weavers / knitters, and fiber producers report the highest inventories.
