RCS回收声明标准，英文全称Recycled Claimed Standard,是TE纺织交易组织于2013年推出的另一回收（再生）方面的标准，用于使用了再生原料的产品提供认证的依据。
适用于再生原料含量在5%-100%之间的产品。认证机构有上海世优认证有限公司等几家机构，可自由选择，在TE-纺织交易组织网站可查到认证过的企业信息。
与同系列GRS-Global Recycled Standard不同之处在于：
1、GRS适用于再生原料含量在之间的产品；
2、GRS在RCS要求的基础上增加了环境和社会责任的要求；
3、认证标识不同；
4、GRS是RCS的高级版：RCS产品可以使用GRS认证的原料，但是GRS产品不能使用RCS的原料。
5、 GRS对过程使用的化学品有要求，而RCS没有。
RCS简介
The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) is an international, voluntary, full product standard that sets requirements for third- certification of Recycled input and chain of custody. The goal of the RCS is to increase use of Recycledmaterials.
回收含量声明标准（RCS）是一项国际、自愿和全面的产品标准，规定了回收内容和产销监管链的第三方认证要求。RCS 的目标是增加产品中回收材料的使用。
The objectives of the RCS are:
RCS 的目标是：
Alignment of definitions across multiple applications.
统一多种应用的定义。
Track and trace Recycled inputmaterials.
追溯可回收投入材料。
Provide customers (both brands and consumers) with a tool to make informeddecisions.
为客户（品牌商和消费者）提供一个做出明智决定的工具。
Provide assurance that materials in the final product are actually Recycled and processedmore sustainably.
确保最终产品中的材料更加可持续性的回收利用和处理。
The Recycled Claim Standard is intended for use with any product that contains at least 5% Recycled Material. Each stage of production is required to be certified, beginning at the recycling stage and ending at the last seller in the final business-to-business transaction. Material Collection and Material Concentration sites are subject to self-declaration, document collection, and on-site visits.
回收含量声明标准适用于任何至少含有5％回收材料的产品。从回收阶段开始，每个生产阶段都必须经过认证，并最终在企业对企业交易中结束于最后的卖方。材料收集和材料集中地点需要经过自我声明、文件收集和现场访问。
The RCS does not address social or environmental aspects of processing and manufacturing, quality or legal compliance.
RCS 不解决加工及制造环节中所涉及的社会责任和环境方面要求和质量或合法性问题。
The RCS uses the ISdefinition of Recycled Content, with interpretations based on the US Federal Trade Commission Green Guides; the intention is to comply with the most widely recognized and stringent definitions.
RCS 采用了IS回收含量定义，基于美国联邦贸易委员会绿色指南的解释；旨在遵守最广泛认可和严格的定义。
This is a voluntary standard that is not intended to replace the legal or regulatory requirements of any country. It is the responsibility of each operation to demonstrate compliance with all applicable laws and regulations related to marketing, labor, and business practices. Sellers of RCS products are advised to reference the allowed Recycled Content claims in the countries of sale, to ensure that they are meeting all legal product claim requirements.
这是一项自愿约守标准，不意图取代任何国家的法律或法规要求。使用方有责任证明其遵守与营销、
劳工和商业行为相关的所有适用法律法规。建议RCS 产品的销售商参考销售国家的允许回收含量要求，以确保符合所有合法的产品声明要求。
The next scheduled revision of the RCS is in 2021. You may submit feedback to the standard at any time; send to IntegrityTextileExchange.org. Points of clarification may be incorporated into the RCS Implementation Manual prior tMore substantive feedback or suggested changes will be collected and reviewed as part of the next revision of the standard.
RCS的下一次定期修订是2021 年。您可以随时向该标准提交反馈；发送邮件至
IntegrityTextileExchange.org。澄清点可在2021 年之前纳入RCS 实施手册。作为下一次修订标准的一部分，将收集和审查更实质的反馈或建议更改。

Material Collection refers to the point in the recycling lifecycle when a Reclaimed Material is collected after its original use has ended (i.e.: it would have otherwise gone into the waste stream).
材料收集是指回收材料在其原始使用结束后的收集，是回收周期中的一个时间点（即：否则将进入废物流程）。
Entities involved in Material Collection may include, but are not limited to:
涉及材料收集的实体可能包括但不限于：
Individuals who collect Post-Consumer Materials for sale tobrokers
收集售给中间商的消费后材料的个人
organizations (e.g.: municipalities) that offer curbside recycling or operate transfer stations
提供路边回收或经营转运站的政府机构（例如：市政府）
