class=\"block-scroll-carousel__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAll of Textile Exchange\u2019s current material-specific standards, including the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), Recycled Claim Standard (RCS), Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), Responsible Mohair Standard (RMS), Responsible Alpaca Standard (RAS), and Responsible Down Standard (RDS), were developed independently and operate uniquely in terms of structure and reach. Each standard also incorporates its unique focus areas. For this reason, the journey towards unifying Textile Exchange\u2019s standards system has focused on exploring where it is relevant and meaningful to incorporate climate and nature impact areas across all materials in scope, addressing how the material is managed on the ground as well as in the first processing stage.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-scroll-carousel__card\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"block-scroll-carousel__card-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAddressing multiple materials under the same framework\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"block-scroll-carousel__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaterials covered by the Materials Matter Standard pilot testing version include recycled materials (synthetics, natural materials, and recycled MMCF), and animal fibers and materials (wool, alpaca, mohair, skins, and down).

During the development process, two drafts of the standard were made available for public consultation from May to July and October to November 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">2024 will now be focused on pilot testing, the preparation of supplementary documentation, and outreach events to raise awareness among users of our standards. Pilot testing will help us to assess key questions around the feasibility of the criteria, how certification bodies can audit against the standard, and whether it achieves the impact we want to see. We\u2019ll also be testing key changes between the Materials Matter Standard and our existing system, as well as checking how feasible it is to collect, record, monitor, and report data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Learnings from these activities will be used to refine criteria and related policies for the final version of the standard which will be published in mid-2025.<\/p>\n\n\n<section id=\"page-block-block_b2b52a37dd515a0a559588a6357332dd\" class=\"acf-block block-cards-carousel has-sand-background-color\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-xl-8 block-cards-carousel__top\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"overline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSUMMARY PAPERS\t\t\t\t\t<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUse our summaries to navigate the criteria\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWe have created material-specific guidance to help stakeholders review the Materials Matter Standard Pilot Version 1.0.
