GENEVA / SINGAPORE – Testing, inspection and certification company SGS has linked up with traceability solutions specialist FibreTrace to develop a new fibre integrity protocol for the textile industry.
The partnership aims to support brands in boosting industry and consumer confidence in product-based claims through the integration of cloud-based traceability tools, FibreTrace Mapped and FibreTrace Verified.
Launched earlier this year, FibreTrace Mapped is a blockchain-based platform which aims to map the global supply chain from fibre to retail. It sits alongside FibreTrace Verified which features physical traceability via indestructible luminescent pigments embedded in fibres.
