Traceability Of Yarns and Fabrics In Textiles.

India's textile minister Piyush Goyal has advised spinners to not buy cotton from ginners without a traceability certificate. 
He informed in a meeting of Textile Advisory Group that the government of India is keen on implementing the traceability of cotton this year itself.

International organization for standardization defines traceability as the ability to verify the history, location, or application of an item by means of docu­mented recorded identification.

Traceability, as the name specifies, is a link that connects various element of information pertaining to a product.

Traceability is a tool which can change the landscape of perception of apparels’s environmental footprint. 

For instance, life-cycle assessment is a widely used technique to calculate the footprint of a product, which can act as an ecological sustainability indicator.

This essentially relies on traceability information about the product, processes, and location.

Sustainability has been highlighted as a growing concern to the textile sector, given a fierce use of natural re­sources and exposure of penurious labor condition.

While natural fiber cultivation involving pesticides results in decreased soil fertility and water pollution, the textile industry is a prevalent contributor to serious health issues and envir­onmental concerns including water and air pollutions.

The industrial processes consume huge amount of water and discharge pollutants, which significantly contribute the environment footprints.

Furthermore, traceability is an integral part of the recycling process which contributes towards the sustainability. 

The three pillars of sustainability, namely, ecological, societal, and economic, are discussed for their relation and dependency on the traceability followed by an overview of the challenges in successful implementation of the traceability system in Textiles.

From a customer perspective, sustainability is an infor­mational aspect of the product which describes the product’s relation with the basic components of sus­tainability, namely, ecological, societal, and economic. 

Organic cotton, green chemistry-based processes, and the use of clean energy sources contribute towards the ecological perspective while fair trade in cotton produc­tion, textile manufacturing, etc. contribute to the societal and economic perspectives.

In the textile supply chain, brand owners act as resellers and production activities are outsourced to subcontractors or suppliers which carry the main production activities and selection of raw materials and chemicals.

Textile sector is a distributed and heterogeneous sector combining different actors dealing with a wide range of raw materials and distinct processes. 

Traceability, in such complex supply network, extends the informational boundaries of the stakeholders beyond their organizational scope which helps in informationally integrating the whole supply chain. 

This integration brings more visibility, transpar­ency, and accountability in the supply chain thus supports the sustainability.

"Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects. The quality of the connections is the key to quality per se.”
