How Global Policies Drive GRS Adoption

European Union

• Circular Economy Action Plan:
  The EU has shifted from encouraging to legally mandating the use of recycled materials, directly boosting demand for GRS/MRS (Mass Balance System) certification to prove compliance.

• French AGEC Law (Anti-Waste and Circular Economy Law):
  By enforcing transparency requirements and banning landfilling of unsold products, this law compels companies to adopt recyclable materials (e.g., GRS-certified materials) and redesign products for circularity.

United States

• State-Level EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) Laws:
  These laws create economic incentives where using certified recycled materials may reduce compliance costs, encouraging companies to pursue certifications to save expenses.

China

• "Dual Carbon" (Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality) Goals:
  Driven by both domestic green supply chain initiatives and the need to address international green trade barriers (e.g., the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, CBAM), China is guiding export-oriented enterprises and supply chains toward green certifications like GRS.
