Aware™: Building Trust in Sustainability with the First Hybrid Traceability Technology

In a world where greenwashing is all too common, trust in sustainability claims is more important than ever. That’s where Aware™ comes in. Designed for the new era of responsible production, Aware™ offers a radical leap forward in transparency, enabling brands and consumers alike to verify the true impact of textiles, from origin to end product. 

 

What Makes Aware™ Different?


Aware™ has developed the world’s first hybrid traceability technology that goes beyond traditional certification methods. By combining physical tracer particles with digital tracking, Aware™ automatically builds a tamper-proof Digital Product Passport for each product automatically as it moves through the supply chain. 

This isn't guesswork or paperwork. Aware™ creates proof — data you can trust, stored securely on a public blockchain. When you see the Aware™ Virtual ID, you know you're looking at the verified story of your product, from recycled fiber to finished product. 

No assumptions. No greenwashing. Just real, transparent sustainability. 

 

How Aware™ Works


The Aware™ traceability system acts like a virtual passport for sustainable materials by verifying their journey in just three simple steps: 

Step 1: Tracer Particles Embedded at the Source 

It all starts with the integration of Aware™ Tracer Particles into the recycled fiber itself. These microscopic particles are spun into the yarn and stay with the material throughout its lifecycle, creating a physical fingerprint that can’t be faked. 

Step 2: Verified at Every Stage 

At every point in the supply chain — spinner, fabric mill, producer, and brand — the tracer particles are scanned to ensure the material remains authentic and unchanged. Each scan adds a new entry to the product's digital passport, creating a verified and traceable journey. 

Step 3: Scan and See the Proof 

Each item comes with a QR code sewn into the label. A quick scan with your phone reveals the Aware™ Virtual ID and complete Product Passport. Instantly access meaningful, trusted data including: 

  • Material composition
  • Supply chain journey
  • Verified impact metrics
  • Ethical labor conditions 

Everything you need to make informed, responsible decisions.
