Halco Achieves International GRS Certification for ReVive® Recycled Hook and Loop


New certification highlights Halco’s commitment to sustainability and high-performance fastening solutions.

Halco USA, a leading U.S. manufacturer of hook and loop fastening solutions, is proud to announce that its ReVive® line of recycled nylon hook and loop fasteners has officially received Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification—a milestone that underscores the company’s ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility and product integrity.

What Is the Global Recycled Standard (GRS)?

The GRS is an internationally recognized, voluntary product standard developed by Textile Exchange, a global nonprofit focused on driving sustainability in materials and supply chains. GRS certification verifies:

  • Recycled material content
  • Chain of custody tracking
  • Social and environmental practices
  • Chemical usage compliance

This end-to-end certification covers everything from the origin of the recycled material to final manufacturing—ensuring full transparency and accountability.

Recycled Hook & Loop Fasteners for Sustainable Manufacturing

Halco’s ReVive® product line, launched in late 2023, includes a growing range of recycled nylon fastening solutions:

  • Sew-on hook & loop
  • Unnapped loop
  • Back-to-back bundling tape
  • Flame retardant versions for high-risk applications

Now backed by GRS certification, ReVive fasteners help OEMs and brands reduce their environmental footprint without sacrificing product performance or reliability.

“Earning GRS certification validates our commitment to sustainability and to doing our part to reduce ocean plastic pollution,”
Guy Fussell, General Manager, Halco USA
