Eco-Friendly Bag Manufacturer

The documentation provided depends on the material specification of your order. For GRS-certified RPET orders: a GRS transaction certificate is issued per production order, documenting the recycled content percentage, the certification body, and the material chain of custody from raw material to finished product. For all orders: ISO 14001 environmental management system certificate, BSCI social compliance audit documentation, and SEDEX platform data access are available on request. FSC-certified packaging documentation is available for orders specifying FSC packaging components. We provide a full documentation pack to buyers conducting supplier due diligence — contact our team to request the specific certificates relevant to your market requirements.

Yes — RPET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) is the material science name for recycled polyester produced specifically from post-consumer PET plastic bottles. The terms RPET and recycled polyester are used interchangeably in the bag and textile industry. The key distinction for buyers is certification: GRS-certified RPET comes with a documented chain of custody from bottle collection to finished fabric; non-certified “recycled polyester” may not. Kingsons’ RPET fabric is GRS certified, meaning the recycled content claim is independently verified and documentable.

Yes — with GRS-certified RPET and the associated GRS transaction certificate, you have the independent documentation to support a “made from recycled plastic bottles” claim on your product. The GRS transaction certificate specifies the recycled content percentage, allowing you to calculate an approximate “equivalent number of bottles” per unit if you wish to use that as an end-consumer communication device. We recommend that any specific claim (e.g., “made from 15 recycled bottles”) is reviewed by your brand’s legal or sustainability team before publication to ensure accuracy and compliance with consumer protection guidelines in your market.

Yes — organic cotton canvas is available as a material option. Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers and can be certified to the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) — the leading international certification for organic textile content. GOTS certification for organic canvas orders is available on request. Note that GOTS certification for organic cotton is a separate certification from GRS (which covers recycled materials) — for organic cotton, GOTS is the applicable standard. Contact our team to discuss GOTS certification requirements for your specific order.

Yes — all Kingsons products intended for the EU market are produced in compliance with the EU REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals), which restricts the use of hazardous substances in textile and bag products. Our ISO 14001 environmental management system includes chemical management controls covering dyes, coatings, and adhesives used in production. For buyers requiring formal REACH compliance documentation, our team can provide the relevant test reports and declarations of conformity. Contact us with your specific REACH compliance requirements and we will confirm the applicable documentation.

The safest answer to this question is: ask for the certificates, not just the claims. Every eco credential Kingsons holds is issued by an independent international body — GRS by Control Union or equivalent ISEAL-affiliated certifier; ISO 14001 by an ISO-accredited audit body; BSCI by amfori; FSC by FSC International. These are not self-declared. Each certification requires an on-site audit or verified inspection process conducted by auditors with no financial interest in the outcome. We provide copies of all current certificates on request — if you ask for the certificate and the issuing body, you can independently verify its authenticity directly with the certification organization. This is the standard we hold ourselves to, and it is the standard we recommend you apply to all supplier eco claims.
