Together with SGS, a pioneer in testing, inspection, and certification worldwide, FibreTrace, a provider of digital and physical traceability, has developed a unique fibre integrity protocol for the textile sector.
The strategic alliance between FibreTrace and SGS to launch a fibre integrity protocol seeks to increase consumer trust in product claims for a variety of materials, which will be advantageous for businesses globally.
The fibre integrity standard would incorporate essential elements including testing, verification, chain of custody checks, and product indicators in response to growing consumer and market demand for transparency and accountability in global supply chains. To guarantee the precision and validity of traceability claims for materials, SGS will collaborate with supply chain operators in the textile and footwear industries.
Shannon Mercer the CEO of FibreTrace said, “The partnership with SGS allows the accelerated and robust implementation of FibreTrace across vast supply chains, with multi-fibre applications, multiple languages and multiple countries of origin and production.”
The partnership will concentrate on the thorough implementation of compliance and verification along the whole value chain.
Globally significant industrial hubs including India, China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Turkey, the United States, Japan, and South Korea will all receive the protocol.
Yvonne Tse, vice president of global soft lines at SGS, said, “This welcome collaboration with FibreTrace marks another step forward to support the global textile industry towards full supply chain traceability.”
