Just Style: GenuTrace, Refiberd team on system to verify fibre, yarn origin
Supply chain verification firm GenuTrace has announced a strategic collaboration with textile sorting firm Refiberd to deliver a dual-layer validation system that combines forensic science and AI to verify the authenticity and origin of fibre, yarn and fabric.
The partnership combines Refiberd’s AI-enabled hyperspectral imaging technology— capable of rapidly classifying fibres, yarns and fabrics by their spectral fingerprints”— with GenuTrace’s forensic stable isotope analysis that verifies the true geographic origin of cotton. This two-step system delivers unparalleled confidence in feedstock claims before fabrics are ever produced.
“We ask one question — ‘If you claim it, can you prove it?’ Verifying fibre and yarn composition before fabrication means that sustainability claims are not just aspirational; they’re scientifically proven,” said MeiLin Wan, founder and CEO of GenuTrace.
