Home - cosmetics, bed linen, cleaning equipment, cat or dog food... Fashion Line - fabrics, buttons, thread, mills, manufacturers... Student - materials and many more... School - office stationary, sports equipment and many many more... Tip: If you are working towards sustainability, do not forget traceability - these work hand in hand! Not separate nor only an option - both work hand in hand. Traceability is crucial to meeting your CRC deliverables for a business, school, fabric buying or enterprise. Fashion designers, mills and yarn producers all need to know and be aware. Metrics or tick box options is not enough. Your supply chain from the single seed to the finished product needs to be transparent and traceable. If the food industry can begin to clean up their act - supportive of local foods, farmers markets, responsibly sourced fish and consumers wanting to know the route map/traceability of where food came from then why can't the textile sector follow in similar steps? A thought - it's not as if this is "new" to us. Turn the clock back 50 years or so, people knew where their fabrics, milk, bread and other items came from. If anything buyers and consumers use to shy away from particular countries if anything was made from these said countries. Nowadays we look to them as inspiration in how they produce and also their quality! Unfortunately other countries have been replaced with don't buy from there attitude. |
