    The Challenge

    Why This Matters

    Without trusted traceability, compliance becomes costly, ESG reporting remains incomplete, and circular economy goals stay out of reach.

    Fragmented Supply Chains

    Global textile supply chains remain opaque and disconnected

    Unverifiable Claims

    Sustainability claims are difficult to verify and validate

    Regulatory Pressure

    Regulators and buyers increasingly demand transparency

    Disconnected Producers

    Rural producers and loom workers are often excluded from global value

    Why Less Than 1% of Clothing Becomes New Clothing—and What Would Actually Fix It

    The textile industry generates 92 million tonnes of waste a year and recycles under 1% of it back into new fiber. The barrier is not technology or willingness — it is that recyclers cannot identify what a garment is made of. Here is why that is an information problem and what fixes it.
