The Global Recycling Standards Organization is pleased to announce the formation of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) for the 2026 RIOS Standard Update. 14 individuals have been chosen to participate in the TAC. The members of the TAC represent diverse backgrounds, experience, and a variety of industry sectors and stakeholder groups, making them ideal candidates to contribute to the efforts of the TAC.

The key role of the TAC is to review the current RIOS Standard and certification program and contribute suggestions for content updates and improvements with the goal of offering an improved, value-added RIOS System to better assist recyclers in the current climate of the industry, addressing emerging challenges across all commodities with enhanced clarity.

As the TAC undertakes this process, input from other interested parties is welcome.  Stakeholders interested in giving their feedback and suggestions toward updating the RIOS Standard are encouraged to use the contact form below.
