Traceability and transparency in the textile supply chain are essential for achieving sustainability in the textile and fashion industry. We are involved in the sustainable program for more transparent sourcing: “A Better Way” from Premiere Vision. We also work according to the Inditex ‘Join Life Program’.
Traceability is the ability to trace the whole lifecycle of a product from the raw material to the consumer, to disposal and recycle. Traceability information does not only convey the source location but also the impact the product has on the environment and people of the society. Traceability as a whole pushes for a more transparent textile supply chain. We can help you with the traceability of the fabric supply chain at any time on request.
Cultivated at close-proximity, flax is grown in a wide coastal band of Western Europe stretching from the South of Normandy in Northern France through Belgium and the Netherlands: from Caen to Amsterdam. The only plant textile fiber originating on the continent, European linen cultivation cannot be relocated; its excellence is thanks to a unique combination: a natural, damp ocean climate, flax’s low thermal density, a rich soil and the experience of flax growers.
The Alliance for European Flax-Linen & Hemp is the only European agro-industrial organization that serves as a global reference and brings together all players in the European Flax-Linen and Hemp value chain. From field to finished product.
A highly desirable fiber, linen corresponds to the desires of a consumer seeking products that are both ethical and traceable: 61% say they are willing and ready to pay more for a product made from European-certified linen.
