A recycled-content claim should be treated as a specification, not a decoration. The exact material, processing route, trading entity and supporting documentation need to align with the order.

Start by defining the intended claim and target market. Then confirm which certificate scope applies to the fabric, which documents travel with the order, and whether the performance target changes the construction or finishing route.

Claims and logos should only be used when the relevant program documentation is valid for the specific product and transaction. This protects both the buyer and the supply chain from avoidable rework.
