Traceability for Recycled Polyester and Polyamide Textiles

Why is it important to trace the origin of fibers? The textile industry is constantly incorporating more recycled materials to meet the growing demand to reduce the industry’s carbon footprint. In synthetic fibers, recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) material from plastic bottles was the first recycled content used in textile products such as sportswear and technical textiles. Today, recycled polyamide (PA) from items like old fishing nets is also increasingly used in sportswear, swimwear, and other garments.
