In a move to develop a more accountable and transparent textile industry, Aware—the traceability platform provider—has partnered with recycled polyester, yarn and fabric maker, Baichuan Resources Recycling. The collaboration focuses on increasing the responsibility and transparency of the textile industry as well as fostering a commitment to reduce the environmental impact of textile production, marking a significant step forward in the global transition toward circularity.
Baichuan with expertise in recycled polyester and dope-dyeing technology claims to be a pioneer in developing sustainable textile solutions since 2004 and is known for transforming post-consumer waste into high-quality yarns and fabrics tailored for the global apparel industry.
“Together, Baichuan and Aware will provide a transformative solution that combines Baichuan’s premium recycled products with Aware’s live tracking and verification system, ensuring that all delivered products are 100% verifiable with real, authenticated data,” said Rogier van der Velde, Baichuan’s co-owner.
As the industry shifts towards transparency and compliance with new sustainability regulations like the Digital Product Passport (DPP), substantiating sustainability claims has become essential. Through this partnership, Baichuan empowers brands and consumers to trace each product’s full lifecycle, providing comprehensive data to verify claims—from the source of recycled plastic bottles to the final textile. This solidifies Baichuan’s role as a reliable and transparent partner for its clients.
“Circularity starts with traceability. We are thrilled to collaborate with Baichuan, a company that shares our vision of a more sustainable textile industry. Together, we are establishing true end-to-end transparency, empowering brands to make responsible choices while ensuring their sustainability claims are authentic and verifiable,” said Koen Warmerdam, co-founder and brand director of Aware.
