BLOCKCHAIN

Dorner, Lenzing

Lenzing will use blockchain technology to support its TENCEL branded fiber business, ensuring complete transparency and traceability for brands and consumers of its fibers in the finished garment. Lenzing decided to join the platform of the Hong Kong-based technology company TextileGenesis to accomplish this ambition. The blockchain technology enables brands and consumers to identify TENCEL branded fibers across each production and distribution step – from fiber to retail – of the finished garment or home textiles. The technology also allows consumers to verify the garment composition and the underlying textile supply chain at the point of sale simply by scanning the barcode with a mobile device.

Using reclaimed materials can benefit both businesses and the environment, but it is easier said than done. If businesses want to use fabrics in a circular fashion, especially at scale, it is important to know their origin, quality, and properties. The invisible marking and digital twinning technologies will allow businesses to confidently reuse materials and change from extractive to circular business models.
