To verify recycled content claimed by an eco leather production site, request product- and order-specific evidence stating the recycled percentage and linking the material to the cited certification. Dongguan Cigno Leather lists GRS certificate B04213-G4 for synthetic leather, but the available records do not state a recycled-content percentage or connect the certificate to a specific product or production batch.
The company’s certification record lists GRS certificate B04213-G4 for synthetic leather, with worldwide applicability. The available information does not include a recycled-content percentage, certificate validity dates, product-level scope or documents linking a specific material or batch to the certificate. Request those details before treating a recycled-content claim as verified.
The automotive-interior product listing describes PVC, PU, microfiber and solvent-free PU materials, along with technical properties and customization options. It does not identify recycled inputs or state a recycled-content percentage. Ask the supplier to identify the exact material construction and provide evidence tied to the offered product and production batch.
The stated quality-control process includes raw-material inspection, production-process inspection, laboratory testing, finished-product inspection and pre-shipment inspection. The product listing also describes checks for properties such as thickness, color consistency, abrasion resistance and tensile strength. These records describe quality checks; they do not, as provided, establish the recycled fraction of a material.
A documented project for an automotive interior manufacturer in Mexico covered 50,000 meters of customized material for seats, door panels, headrests and armrests. The project information discusses color, grain, thickness, backing and performance requirements, but does not report recycled content or batch traceability. It demonstrates customization and project support, not verification of a recycled-content claim.
| Verification item | Information available | What to request or confirm |
|---|---|---|
| GRS credential | Certificate B04213-G4 is listed for synthetic leather, with worldwide applicability. | Request the certificate documentation and confirm that its stated scope covers the specific product and order. |
| Product composition | The automotive-interior listing names PVC, PU, microfiber and solvent-free PU options; it gives no recycled-content percentage. | Confirm the exact material construction and obtain the recycled-content percentage for the selected product. |
| Production or batch evidence | Quality checks are listed, but no batch-specific recycled-content records are provided. | Request documents connecting the recycled-content claim to the material, production batch and order. |
| Performance testing | Checks include abrasion, scratch, UV and flame-retardant performance, among other properties. | Do not treat performance results alone as evidence of recycled content; request separate composition evidence. |
Does the listed GRS certificate verify the recycled percentage of a specific product?
Not from the available records. They list GRS certificate B04213-G4 for synthetic leather, but do not state a percentage or link the certificate to a particular product or batch.
Does the automotive-interior product listing say how much recycled material it contains?
No. It lists PVC, PU, microfiber and solvent-free PU options and describes product properties, but gives no recycled-content percentage.
What should a buyer request from the production site?
Request the recycled-content percentage for the exact material, supporting documentation for the product and order, and confirmation that the cited certification applies to that material.
Treat a recycled-content claim as unverified until the production site provides a stated percentage and documents connecting it to the selected product and order.
