So what is wheat straw material? Wheat is a type of grain that is used to make flour, bread and wheat derived products like pasta. Wheat straw is the by product that is left over after the wheat harvest, and by using it to make a plastic like substance, it is an ideal zero waste option.
Wheat straw contains cellulose and by breaking it down, a new product can be created. The process creates the opportunity to make different kinds of polymers. Natural polymers are found in our bodies, like hair and nails. Plastic is made from artificial polymers, but polymers created from wheat straw, are completely natural.
Originally drafted by the Control Union, and later handed over the ownership of this standard to the Textile Exchange. We finally followed GRS4.0 version after undergo several drafts GRS certification is international, spontaneity, performability, which can examine the ability of not only Recycling, Status of product, Social Responsibility, but the ability Environmental Protection and Restriction Of Chemicals for company. And it will be enhancing the “green“ competitiveness of the product.
GRS certification was created to reduce the impact on people and the environment from the production of materials by driving a higher percentage of recycled content in products.
The GRS certification also provides assurance for retailers and consumers that products are being made in a more sustainable way. The standard is managed with input from key stakeholders such as recyclers, suppliers, brands, and retailers all over the world.
GRS verifies that recycled materials are used, and it also tracks responsible production methods. Companies must demonstrate a chain of custody, and obtain certification from a professional third party that audits and validates each step of the supply chain.
