FibreTrace® is incorporated into the raw cotton fibre at the cotton gin via a luminescent fibre.

From here, the cotton is packed and out-bound bales are scanned prior to shipping to spinning mill, with information securely stored through FibreTrace®’s block chain technology.

The spinner receives the FibreTrace®-integrated cotton and scans in-bound bales into facility (or adds FibreTrace® sliver during spinning process).

The cotton is then converted to yarn and again, out-bound cones are scanned prior to shipping to fabric mill.

The FibreTrace® cotton yarn is scanned in at the fabric mill to be converted into a textile.

Fabric rolls are scanned again as they leave the site, making their way to be assembled or to a cut, make and trim facility. 

Fabric rolls are received and scanned into their next destination, where fabric is converted into finished goods. Out-bound finished goods are scanned before being shipped to brand.

Optional: FibreTrace® device can be installed at processing facility/site.

Brand receives finished goods and scans in-bound to warehouse facility/site. This concludes the primary FibreTrace® production cycle.

Optional: FibreTrace® device can be installed in store retail for customer to use or for returning and collecting pre-owned products for authenticity and circularity.

Consumers can shop with confidence, knowing their purchase is genuine Good Earth Cotton® though secure, authenticated FibreTrace® technology. From grower to garment, the cotton’s supply chain journey is available to the consumer. 

Optional: Unique QR code can link consumer to FibreTrace®’s consumer facing platform.
