World's First Instant Traceable Recycled Polyester

The Netherlands, 13 December 2023 - After two years of rigorous testing and close collaboration with industry leaders, Aware™ is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking achievement – the successful integration of the Aware™ tracer into recycled polyester filament yarn. This marks a significant milestone in the world of sustainable textiles and reaffirms Aware™´s commitment to transparency in the fashion and textile industry.

Working hand in hand with market professionals Avient Corporation Shanghai and Zhejiang Haili Environmental Technology Co., Aware™ has realized the exchange of truly recycled polyester filament yarn embedded with the Aware™ tracer, ensuring traceability from yarn production to the final product. This monumental achievement places Aware™ at the forefront of innovation in sustainability, delivering the world's first full infield-traceable recycled polyester.

The Authenticity of Recycled Polyester Products

The key to this advancement lies in the Aware™ tracer, which can now be detected infield using the Aware™ hand scanner, providing an unprecedented level of transparency and traceability. Brands, retailers, and consumers can now have complete confidence in the authenticity of recycled polyester products.

Zhejiang Haili Environmental Technology Co. and Wujiang Chaodai Textile Co. in China are the spinners set to offer recycled polyester filament yarn with Aware™ tracer. More spinners in Bangladesh and India will follow shortly.
