TexSpace: Proving cotton origin as regulation tightens in Europe and the U.S.

Najmus Sakib | February 10, 2026

As Germany begins enforcing stricter anti-greenwashing rules and U.S. authorities continue action under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), cotton sourcing claims are facing closer examination. Brands are now expected to demonstrate, with clear evidence, where their cotton comes from. Documentation alone is no longer enough.

In response to this shift, GenuTrace and Kinset have announced a collaboration aimed at helping companies substantiate cotton origin claims with verifiable proof. Their approach combines scientific fiber testing with structured digital supply chain data, offering brands a more defensible way to manage compliance.
