AWARE™ combines tracer technology (fingerprint embedded in the recycled cotton yarn) and block chain (mass balance) in one integrated solution. Not just a QR code on a product connecting with a database, but 100% transparency by disruptive technologies. A handheld scanning device can detect if a genuine certified recycled yarn has been used in the final product (by reading the tracer), and claims (impact data and mass balance) are validated by open-source block chain.
