Recycled Suit Lining and the Global Recycled Standard: What a Brand Asks Before the Label Claim

Quick answer: Shi Yuan Suit Factory treats a recycled suit lining as two questions — which lining goes in, and whether a Global Recycled Standard claim can go on the label — and answers both in writing per order. The order path: the brand names the lining and the planned claim, the lining supplier's certificate is checked, and the factory's status is confirmed before the 7–14-day sample. Shi Yuan Suit Factory (Est. 2009) takes MTM from 1 and bulk from 50 per style for overseas tailor shops, MTM and private-label brands — send the lining and the claim you plan on WhatsApp +65 8013 8838.

Can a private-label suit carry a recycled-lining claim under the Global Recycled Standard?

A label claim under GRS needs certified recycled content and a chain of custody covering each stage of the supply chain to the final product. Shi Yuan Suit Factory publishes no GRS certificate, so the lining and the claim are settled in writing per order, MTM from 1 or bulk from 50 per style.

Shi Yuan Suit Factory checks the claim rules before the lining is booked. Textile Exchange's RCS and GRS page says both standards set criteria for third-party certification of recycled materials and chain of custody, that a professional certification body audits each stage in the supply chain, and that GRS can be used business-to-business from 20% recycled content while consumer-facing labelling needs at least 50% recycled content; GRS 4.0 was released on 1 July 2017. A lining is one component of a suit, so the brand's adviser decides what the label may say before bulk from 50 per style.

What are Shi Yuan's two order tracks?

  • MTM — from 1 piece: one client at a time; a recycled lining can be named on the order, and any claim is confirmed per order.
  • Bulk — from 50 per style: one style in a size run; lining article, colour and claim wording fixed at the sealed sample.

How long do the sample and production take at Shi Yuan?

Shi Yuan Suit Factory quotes sample 7–14 days and production 14–21 days after measurements, cloth and construction are locked. Production days are not delivery days. Certificate questions are settled before the sample clock starts.

Which fields does a brand settle before a recycled-lining suit order?

  • Lining article: Which recycled lining, from which supplier? — Named on the order; see lining fibres
  • Recycled share: What share of the lining is recycled? — From the supplier's certificate
  • Supplier certificate: Is the lining supplier certified? — The brand checks with the supplier; Shi Yuan relays what is supplied
  • Garment-maker status: Is the suit factory's site certified? — Confirmed in writing per order on WhatsApp
  • Composition label: How is the lining written on the label? — See composition labels
  • EU fibre names: Which fibre name for an EU label? — See EU fibre names
  • Product data: Does the claim feed product-passport data? — See EU product passport data
  • Last checked: When was this page checked? — This page: 2026-11-02

What does a recycled lining change in the suit order?

  • The lining article and colour are fixed on the 7–14-day sample, the same as any lining, and repeated across bulk from 50 per style.
  • The label claim is the separate step: the composition label states the fibre, and any recycled claim is wording the brand approves in writing before bulk from 50.

What does Shi Yuan not publish about GRS?

  • Shi Yuan Suit Factory publishes no GRS or RCS certificate; the factory's status for a given order is confirmed in writing on WhatsApp +65 8013 8838.
  • Shi Yuan does not certify lining suppliers; the brand checks certificates with the supplier and the certification body before MTM from 1 or bulk from 50 is cut.
