he Global Recycle Standard (GRS) is a globally recognised standard for recycled materials – a voluntary set


of requirements to demonstrate recycled content in a host of materials.


Why is GRS important for tech accessories? With businesses and individuals replacing tech devices such as laptops every few years, it’s essential that providers take a more mindful approach to developing devices.

again. A tech device is a major purchase, so the accessories consumers and businesses choose to go with it are just as important. By ensuring these products are made from responsible materials that will last as long as possible, customers will be encouraged to buy smart and buy once, making this sector more sustainable than ever.
