Information carriers for traceability in textiles

Methods for robust tagging of textile materials, where the tagging contains information on for example materials composition and origin, will be increasingly valuable for improved collection and sorting systems. This is relevant for example for rented workwear as well as for sorting or retrieval of products for re-use and for recycling.

The development of robust data carriers for traceability in textile products requires strong interdisciplinary collaborations. At RISE, we have a broad range of scientific and technical competences, and can offer research and development in:

  • textile materials, from fibre development to fabric testing.
  • physical data carriers developed for a specific application.
  • flexible electronics using substrates such as TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), paper, bioplastic/plastic films or textiles.
  • flexible electronics and sensors designed to withstand wash and wear.
  • testing of the resiliance to ageing in different climates, or after laundry.
