Sustainability starts with better choices, from the&nbsp;fibres&nbsp;selected to the manufacturing partners involved. A DPP gives customers real visibility into the journey behind each product.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For distributors and brands, transparency&nbsp;isn&#8217;t&nbsp;just a value;&nbsp;it&#8217;s&nbsp;a business need. A DPP provides the documentation and confidence to make responsible sourcing decisions easier to communicate and defend.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As expectations around supply chain transparency continue to rise, this kind of transparency is central to what it means to be a partner-supplier, and to back up Made Better\u2122 with something more than words.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Built With Aware\u2122&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aware\u2122 is a&nbsp;fibre-tracing company that works with producers across global textile supply chains to turn raw production data into verified portable proof.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each batch of material is issued with a unique digital token at the point of production. As that batch moves through the supply chain from&nbsp;fibre, to spinning, to manufacturing, to finished product, the record travels with it, with every step adding verified data to the material&#8217;s story. By the time a product reaches a customer&#8217;s hands, that story is fully documented and just a scan away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where You&#8217;ll See It&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Digital Product Passports are currently available on a growing share of our bags. This is just the starting point because traceability will continue to expand across the line as new products are developed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scan the code, and the&nbsp;fibre, the facility, and everything in between is right there, straight from the source.&nbsp;That&#8217;s&nbsp;what we mean when we say the proof is built in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discover traceable products&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sustainability claims are easy to make.
