Lenzing ensuring supply chain transparency

The Lenzing Group is adopting blockchain technology to support its Tencel-branded fiber business, ensuring transparency and traceability of its fibers. Blockchain technology allows digital information to be distributed, but not copied, so each individual piece of data can only have one owner. Supply chain transparency from wood to garment and home textiles will enable customers to identify Tencel fibers and the wood source in each production and distribution step. A QR code on the final garment allows the origin of clothing to be traced.
