The GRS designation, overseen by Textile Exchange, serves as an international benchmark for recycled materials. Unlike voluntary climate programs that rely on external carbon credits, this certification tracks the product from the source of the raw material to the final consumer good. For CASEKOO, this means components such as the shell and the integrated MagicStand ring are now independently verified to contain at least 50% recycled material.
CASEKOO Secures Global Recycled Standard Certification
Los Angeles-based accessory brand CASEKOO has secured Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification, moving beyond carbon offsets to verify the recycled content of its iPhone cases. The milestone marks a shift for the company, ensuring its supply chain meets third-party environmental and social criteria for its signature product line.
Charlotte, the company’s PR manager, noted that the certification functions as proof that sustainability can remain both functional and transparent. By integrating these standards into the manufacturing process, the brand aims to eliminate waste at the design level rather than compensating for it after production. Consumers can verify the company’s standing directly through the Textile Exchange database, a move intended to provide tangible evidence of the brand's pivot toward circular manufacturing.
