As pressure grows to verify the origin and percentage of recycled content, manufacturers and recyclers are being asked to provide clearer and more reliable proof across their supply chains. Despite this, how traceability is actually implemented between recyclers, yarn producers, and brands is still often unclear.
To bring more clarity, Haelixa and New Focus Textiles hosted a practical webinar focused on integrating physical traceability into recycled fibre supply chains. The session walked through how tracers can be applied during mechanical recycling and carried through to yarn production, using a real implementation example.
The discussion covered where traceability fits across different stakeholders, the key operational steps required, and how this approach supports stronger verification of recycled content. It also highlighted how traceability improves transparency, reinforces material credibility, and builds trust both within the supply chain and with end consumers.
