Traceability and Verification Services for Sustainable Materials

At Eurofins Textile and Footwear Testing, we understand that traceability is one of the biggest challenges in the sustainability of products and materials today. Consumers are increasingly demanding transparency and the ability to trace the origin of the products they purchase beyond green labels and certificates. Strong regulation is coming in for the industry to validate and third-party testing on their claims.

Traceability in today's industry

In the textile industry, it can be difficult to ensure that sustainable claims are valid and that materials are sourced responsibly. The collaboration between Eurofins Textile and Footwear Testing, Tailorlux and Retexcycle addresses this issue by providing a reliable way to trace and verify the authenticity of materials throughout the supply chain. Tailorlux inorganic tracer can be tailored to a manufacturer code and becomes an inseparable part of the product. No matter if natural fibers or man-made fibers, every product can be made traceable. The Tailorlux and Eurofins collaboration combines an innovative marking technology with global and rock-solid verification services of accredited laboratories.

The combined solutions ensures that the fabric in a cotton shirt can be traced back to the seed that the farmer sow to produce the cotton, and from there until the final product even if the different actors in the value chain are located thousands of kilometers away.
