Material science company Circular Systems has partnered with FibreTrace to introduce physical traceability technology into its Texloop RCOT recycled cotton on a global scale.
- The combined power of Circular Systems's Texloop and Agraloop together with FibreTrace is expected to provide a footing for retailers to move ahead of looming obligations for EU countries, as regulation across the industry calls for increased environmental accountability.
How This Fits In: FibreTrace brings trust and integrity to the supply chain, giving its mill and brand partners 20/20 vision of the supply chain at every step from raw fibre to store. The platform connects physical and digital technology to provide unparalleled results.
- FibreTrace ensures information integrity via physical traceability markers suspended in the recycled fibres.
- The technology is used to securely collect, store and communicate key supply chain information.
- The traceability solution guarantees that the fibre itself is traced and reduces chance of human error or fraud by waiving reliance on documentation or labelling.
Earlier Partnership: Earlier, Ficus Innovations had partnered with Circular Systems to collaborate on a premium knits collection designed with the lowest impact materials and processing in mind.
- By combining Agraloop BioFibre from European CBD Hemp crop residues and Ficus Innovations Natural Dye processing, the two companies created one of the most premium knits collection using the purest natural resources while reducing environmental impacts.
What They Said:
Circular Systems is honored to be working in strategic partnership with FibreTrace, which we see as the new industry standard technology for traceability. This partnership will enable traceability on all of our Texloop and Agraloop fibre products by 2024. FibreTrace enables the The Texloop platform to bring much needed traceability and transparency to the world of Recycled Cotton, and in doing so we will help to improve the authenticity, and quality of the global recycled cotton sector.
