This ensures future reuse, reselling, and recycling at the highest possible level of sustainability. Through this system, data becomes accessible to stakeholders in the fashion ecosystem at any point in time to assess and handle products in a circular economy. The consumer is able to scan the circularity.ID® which can be a QR Code or NFC Tag via smartphone. At a garment’s end of life, the circularity.ID® enables sorters to find the best matching recycler.

Considering the fashion industry, transparency must be obtained from end to end, so that all phases of a garment's life are known and traceable, identifying and measuring the level and progress of sustainability at each stage of the chain, as well as offering the consumer clear information about the purchased product. Without transparency and traceability across the entire chain, consumers, brands and other suppliers cannot have the necessary knowledge about where and how clothes are being produced, in what working conditions, and what their final destination is.

Through a web platform and mobile app, it allows brands to tokenise their products at different levels of the supply chain. From this approach, consumers can identify what actions retailers are taking to be more sustainable. One of the startup's apps is SPIN, which allows consumers to tokenise products, identifying, for example, that the clothes purchased once belonged to a favourite influencer. In this context, from this app it is possible to apply the circular model of sharing, lending, swapping and trade, which allows consumers to become active buyers in the supply chain, following the destination given to a garment, until it reaches the end of life, communicating the retailers so that some sustainable attitude is taken about it, such as recycling.\u003C/p>","\u003Cp>Lablaco uses blockchain in its circular fashion platform, allowing consumers to register their digital ownership of their garments.

Through the SPIN platform, consumers can register and tokenise their clothes, and from there they can exchange, share, swap or trade their clothes so that everything is digitally tracked.

Each brand contributed four garment styles, totalling approximately 23,000 units of products that were tracked and catalogued on the TextileGenesis platform. The garments were then tracked simultaneously by 25 suppliers from seven different countries: Austria, Germany, Italy, Turkey, India, Bangladesh, and China. In this way, these suppliers were able to take a broader view and successfully track garments using a fibre-based approach. Thus, the solution showed the importance of combining methods from both a physical and a digital level, improving traceability and transparency systems.

For example, it is estimated that 30% of viscose comes from threatened forests.

However, the supply chain is complex, and to meet the requirements to achieve the right traceability and transparency, it is necessary to extract information from the fibre production, passing through the production of clothing, covering the entire life cycle of the garment. To meet these requirements, the TextileGenesis platform was used in a pilot for viscose traceability in partnership with FashionForGood and the Bestseller and Kering brands. As a result of the pilot project, brands were able to catalogue and track around 23,000 units of products through the TextileGenesis platform, thus providing greater visibility, interoperability and scalability throughout the supply chain.\u003C/p>","\u003Cp>In the pilot project carried out for the tracking of viscose, it was identified that, in addition to blockchain technology, other features such as real-time transactions, data protocol standardisation, forensic auditing and integration with ESG standards are needed. The TextileGenesis platform uses the concept of Fibercoins to enable the application of blockchain-based digital tokens to sustainable fibres. This concept is called “digital twin”, which allows the representation of each kilogram of fibre to be digitally produced on the platform. From this possibility, supply chain players can manipulate, interact and transfer these digital coins to the production of textile products as they move along the chain. In this way, the platform allows aggregating information related to fibres in a single place, allowing brands to track and have greater visibility of their products.\u003C/p>",[375,377,379,381],{"name":376,"type":183,"value":376},"https://fashionunited.uk/news/business/fashion-for-good-project-with-bestseller-and-kering-demonstrates-tracing-of-viscose/2021062456172",{"name":378,"type":183,"value":378},"https://reports.fashionforgood.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/VISCOSE-TRACEABILITY-PILOT.pdf",{"name":380,"type":183,"value":380},"https://fashionforgood.com/our_news/from-fibre-to-finish-to-scale-tracing-viscose-and-beyond/",{"name":382,"type":183,"value":382},"https://textilegenesis.com/",[]]
