TURNS, Tailorlux to advance traceability in recycled cotton products

TURNS GmbH, a leading figure in Germany’s circular textile industry, has partnered with Tailorlux GmbH to set a new standard in traceability and transparency for recycled cotton products. This collaboration underscores their commitment to sustainability by leveraging European post-consumer textile waste and advanced physical traceability solutions to create fully circular products.

The partnership integrates TURNS’s innovative tracer fibers and Tailorlux’s high-resolution spectroscopy to accurately track and verify recycled content in textile products. This ensures every stage, from fiber to yarn to fabric, is physically verified, providing unmatched transparency and accountability. The initiative began at the ALTEX recycling plant in Germany, where post-consumer waste is meticulously sorted and processed into high-quality TURNS recycled fibers.

These eco-conscious fibers are spun into yarn and woven into sustainable fabrics, which are then crafted into stylish garments meeting stringent environmental standards. Each garment is embedded with Tailorlux’s traceability technology, ensuring the entire journey from waste to finished product is transparent and verifiable, supporting the broader goals of a circular economy and promoting sustainable practices.
