Available in natural and grey. Screen printable with a 10"×12" imprint area. No minimum order. Ships in 1 business day from our California and Georgia warehouses.
What GRS certification means — and why it matters for your procurement
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is an independent, third-party certification that verifies recycled content claims throughout the entire supply chain — from raw material through finished product. A GRS-certified bag isn't just made from recycled fibers; the certification confirms that the recycled content percentage is accurate, that chain-of-custody documentation is in place, and that the manufacturing process meets defined social and environmental criteria.
For procurement teams, sustainability committees, and brands with supplier code of conduct requirements, GRS certification provides the documentation needed to make verifiable claims — not just marketing language. If your organization reports on sustainable procurement or requires third-party verified sustainability claims from suppliers, GRS is the standard that supports that requirement.
The RC200's recycled canvas is made from post-industrial cotton fibers — material diverted from waste streams before reaching landfill. The natural color results from the undyed, unbleached state of the recycled fiber. The grey colorway comes from blending lighter and darker recycled fibers rather than dyeing — meaning the grey is inherent to the material, not applied. Because recycled fiber sources vary, minor natural variations in texture and shade are normal and expected — each bag is consistent in construction and function, while the material carries the character of its recycled origin.
What You're Ordering
Both colors at the same price. Grey is achieved through blended recycled fiber — not dye.

The GRS-Certified Tote for Brands That Need Verified Sustainability Credentials
The RC200 serves buyers who need more than a "made from recycled materials" claim — they need documentation, certification, and a supply chain story that holds up to scrutiny.
Recycled Canvas vs Standard Cotton Canvas — Same Shape, Different Material Story
All three are flat-bottom 15"×16" totes with 21"–22" handles and a 10"×12" imprint area. The distinction is canvas material and weight.
Common Questions About GRS Certified Recycled Canvas Tote Bags
What does GRS certified mean and how do I verify it?
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is an international, voluntary standard that verifies recycled content in a finished product and the chain of custody from raw material to finished good. Third-party certification bodies audit manufacturers against defined criteria for recycled content percentage, chain-of-custody documentation, and social/environmental manufacturing requirements. For procurement teams, GRS provides the third-party documentation needed to make verifiable recycled content claims for CSR reports, sustainability disclosures, or supplier scorecards. Certification documentation is available upon request.
Why does the grey color look slightly different between bags?
The grey color on the RC200 comes from blending lighter and darker recycled cotton fibers rather than applying dye. Because recycled fiber sources vary in shade, minor natural variation in the grey tone is normal and expected — this is an inherent characteristic of recycled canvas rather than a defect. Bags are consistent in construction, dimensions, and function. The natural colorway similarly may show subtle variation in the unbleached cotton tone. Both are characteristics of genuine recycled-fiber canvas.
How does the 10 oz weight compare to other canvas totes?
The RC200's 10 oz weight sits between the lightweight 6 oz promotional totes (TB100, TG110) and the heavy canvas 12 oz shoppers (TB200, TG200, TF series). It's sturdy enough for regular grocery and daily carry use but lighter than the heavy canvas shoppers designed for frequent heavy loads. For most everyday use cases — grocery runs, market visits, events, daily carry — 10 oz recycled canvas is a practical, well-balanced weight.
Can I screen print on the grey RC200?
Yes — screen printing is available on both natural and grey. Dark inks (black, navy, forest green) work best on grey canvas for maximum contrast. White ink is also possible on grey for a softer look. DTG printing is available on natural only. Both methods start from 25 pieces with a free digital proof before production and a 10–14 business day turnaround after proof approval.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum on blank bags. Volume pricing applies automatically at checkout. Free shipping on orders over $200 to the continental US. Ships in 1 business day from our California and Georgia warehouses.
