RCS簡介
The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) is an international, voluntary, full product standard that sets requirements for third-party certification of Recycled b and chain of custody. The goal of the RCS is to increase use of Recycledmaterials.
回收含量聲明標準（RCS）是一項國際、自愿和全面的產品標準，規(guī)定了回收內容和產銷監(jiān)管鏈的第三方認證要求。RCS 的目標是增加產品中回收材料的使用。
The bives of the RCS are:
RCS 的目標是：
? Alignment of definitions across multiple applications.
? 統一多種應用的定義。
? Track and trace Recycled bmaterials.
? 追溯可回收投入材料。
? Provide customers (both brands and consumers) with a tool to make inbeddecisions.
? 為客戶（品牌商和消費者）提供一個做出明智決定的工具。
? Provide assurance that materials in the final product are actually Recycled and processedmore sustainably.
? 確保最終產品中的材料更加可持續(xù)性的回收利用和處理。
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 transb. Material Collection and Material Concentration sites are subject to self-declaration, document collection, and on-site visits.
回收含量聲明標準適用于任何至少含有5％回收材料的產品。從回收階段開始，每個生產階段都必須經過認證，并最終在企業(yè)對企業(yè)交易中結束于最后的賣方。材料收集和材料集中地點需要經過自我聲明、文件收集和現場訪問。
The RCS does not address social or environmental aspects of processing and manufacturing, quality or legal compliance.
RCS 不解決加工及制造環(huán)節(jié)中所涉及的社會責任和環(huán)境方面要求和質量或合法性問題。
The RCS uses the ISO 14021 definition 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 bent definitions.
RCS 采用了ISO 14021 回收含量定義，基于美國聯邦貿易委員會綠色指南的解釋；旨在遵守最廣泛認可和嚴格的定義。
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.
這是一項自愿約守標準，不意圖取代任何國家的法律或法規(guī)要求。使用方有責任證明其遵守與營銷、
勞工和商業(yè)行為相關的所有適用法律法規(guī)。建議RCS 產品的銷售商參考銷售國家的允許回收含量要求，以確保符合所有合法的產品聲明要求。
The next scheduled revision of the RCS is in 2021. You may b feedback to the standard at any time; send to Integrity@TextileExchange.org. Points of clarification may be incorporated into the RCS Implementation Manual prior to 2021. More substantive feedback or suggested changes will be collected and reviewed as part of the next revision of the standard.
RCS的下一次定期修訂是2021 年。您可以隨時向該標準提交反饋；發(fā)送郵件至
Integrity@TextileExchange.org。澄清點可在2021 年之前納入RCS 實施手冊。作為下一次修訂標準的一部分，將收集和審查更實質的反饋或建議更改。

Material Collection
材料收集
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結束后的收集，是回收周期中的一個時間點（即：否則將進入廢物流程）。
Entities involved in Material Collection may include, but are not limited to:
涉及材料收集的實體可能包括但不限于：
? Individuals who collect Post-Consumer Materials for sale tobrokers
? 收集售給中間商的消費后材料的個人
? Government organizations (e.g.: municipalities) that offer curbside recycling or operate transfer stations
? 提供路邊回收或經營轉運站的政府機構（例如：市政府）
? Brokers that purchase Pre/Post-Consumer Material from individuals, municipalities, or commercial operations forre-sale
? 從個人、市政或商業(yè)企業(yè)處購買消費前/后材料用以轉售的中間商
? CommercialoperationsthatcollecttheirownPre-ConsumerMaterialfrom manufacturingoperations
? 從制造業(yè)處收集消費前材料的商業(yè)經營單位
? Commercial operations that collect Post-Consumer Material (e.g.: retailstores)
? 收集消費后材料的商業(yè)經營單位（例如：零售店）
Material Concentration
材料集中
Material Concentration refers to the point in the recycling lifecycle when a waste material receives primary handling. This may include, but is not limited to, sorting, screening, basic contaminant removal, or baling. Material is still unprocessed at this stage, meaning it has not been physically or chemically altered beyond basic handling (e.g.: screening, crushing, or washing).
材料集中是指在循環(huán)周期中，廢料接受基本處理時的時間點?？赡馨ǖ幌抻谂判?、篩選、基本污染物去除或打捆。在這個階段，材料仍然未經處理，這意味著除基本處理（例如：篩選、粉碎或洗滌）之外，尚未發(fā)生物理或化學改變。
For example:
例如：
? Government organization (e.g.:municipality)
? 政府機構（如：自治市）
? Non-profit organization
? 非盈利機構
? Business entity (e.g.:brokers)
? 業(yè)務實體（例如：中間商）
Material Recycling
材料回收
Material Recycling refers to the point in the recycling lifecycle when a Reclaimed Material is processed into a Recycled Material.
材料回收是指在循環(huán)周期中，將回收的材料處理成回收材料的時間點。
Post-Consumer Material
消費后材料
Material generated by households or by commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities in their role as end-users of the product that can no longer be used for its intended purpose. This includes returns of materials from the distribution chain.1
由家庭或商業(yè)、工業(yè)和機構設施作為最終產品用戶產生的、不能再用于其預期用途的材料。包括從分銷鏈中回收的材料。1
Pre-ConsumerMaterial
消費前材料
Material diverted from the waste stream during the manufacturing process. Excluded is the reutilization of materials such as rework, regrind or scrap generated in a process and capable of being reclaimed within the same process that generated it.2
在制造過程中從廢物流中轉移出的材料。排除返工、回收或在處理過程中產生的，并可在產生該過程的同一過程中回收的材料的二次利用。
