Pioneers in advanced sustainable textile technologies, Säntis Textiles, has announced as of May 2022 the business is a strategic development partner of FibreTrace®, world-renowned leaders in traceable fibre technology.

The aim of the partnership is for Säntis Textiles to work alongside FibreTrace® to develop a unique traceable ID specifically for its trailblazing RCO100 fibres, yarns, and fabrics. In return, the global reach of Säntis Textiles will enable FibreTrace® to become the leading physical and digital transparency solution for recycled and circular textile solutions.

The partnership is rooted in both companies’ approach to delivering quality and integrity at scale, to future proof supply chains and to provide the end-consumer with the opportunity to choose a transparent and sustainable supply chain to follow and purchase from.

FibreTrace® technology gives brands 20/20 vision of their supply chain at every step from sourcing of raw fibre to store, combining physical and digital technology to provide unparalleled intelligence. It is indestructible through the entire textile supply chain, auditable and traceable in real-time, verifies brand claims, builds trust, and engages the consumer.

Creative Director at Säntis Textiles, Annabelle Hutter, commented on the partnership: “With an increased appetite from brands around the globe wanting to adopt more circular approaches, we are keen to support ongoing steps towards enhancing the longevity of the industry as well as the planet for the greater good of future generations.”

“A core part of our growth strategy is developing fibre tracing technology for our one-of-a-kind recycling technology, RCO100, so we’re delighted to be working with FibreTrace® who are leaders in this field to help to develop this. This project, alongside many others, are going to help shape the future of textile circular solutions.”

Crispin Argento, Chief Operating Officer at FibreTrace®, commented, "Through its partnership with FibreTrace®, Säntis Textiles has taken a bold first step toward full transparency throughout its entire production process from recycled feedstock to the final garment for its pioneering RCO100 products. Using the power of FibreTrace® digital and physical transparency solution, Säntis Textiles, will refine the future of circularity in textiles."

Säntis Textiles is developing long-term resilience in the marketplace and supporting the education of consumers with regards to the benefits of a circular textile economy and what can be achieved with recycled technologies, specifically RCO100. RCO100 technology works by taking pre-consumer industrial waste and post-consumer cotton garment waste to produce 100% recycled cotton yarns without the use of chemical processes or regenerated fibres.
