Is traceable equally sustainable? Traceability solutions as evidence of sustainable public procurement of textiles

In a study, FEMNET examined various traceability solutions, which can be used in particular in the supply chains of workwear and flat linen. Do they keep what they promise? And what added value can they have for buyers in practice? The result: Traceability solutions are a potential tool for a sustainable textile and clothing industry, but only as good as the data they are fed from. Through their use, buyers can promote transparency and sustainability. However, it should be noted that while digital solutions may be of significant relevance in market research, they do not yet replace an examination of submitted evidence.
