  By 2050, the European Union plans to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions, i.e. to be climate neutral. To achieve this, the EC has launched a new regulatory package within the European Green Deal, a proposal that aims to make almost all physical goods circular and energy efficient by 2030. The aim of this regulation is therefore to contribute to the fight against climate change through the implementation of a circular economy, in order to decouple the existing relationship between economic growth and waste production. Within its Strategy for a DPP Circular economy and Sustainable Textile, it also highlights the importance of regulating the textile industry, which it has described as the fourth industry with the greatest environmental impact, and aims to ensure that textile products sold in European markets are durable, recyclable, free of hazardous substances and produced sustainably. The European Commission has approved a series of measures to ensure that textile products plac...

Blockchain and Traceability: What are we Talking about?

Image
  Blockchain in brief Although its first use in 2008 led to the creation of the famous Bitcoin, blockchain is not limited to the financial sector. Literally translated as “chain of blocks”, blockchain technology allows the storage and transmission of information in a transparent and secure manner. What makes it special? It operates in a distributed manner, without a central control body. By extension, we speak of blockchain to designate a database built from this technology. This secure database, shared by different users and without intermediaries, maintains the history of exchanges between authorized users so that everyone can check the validity of the chain in all blocks. Therefore, it can be applied to many sectors, such as the Supply Chain. What is logistics traceability? How does traceability work? Traceability refers to the possibility of knowing the origin of a product and being able to follow its course throughout its transformation and distribution chain. Traceability rul...

Traceability in Waste Management

Image
  In the modern day, waste management and environmental sustainability are of utmost importance, and traceability shows itself to be a potent ally in our quest for more circularity. In waste management, traceability refers to the capacity to track and document the movement and disposal of waste materials over the length of their lifecycle. The World Bank predicts that by 2050, global trash would have increased by 70% from present levels if immediate action is not taken. The average person produces 500 kilograms of rubbish annually, while only 20% of plastic waste produced worldwide is recycled. What is Traceability in Waste Management? Traceability is the capacity to systematically track and document the movement, origin, and changes of a substance or product over the duration of its lifecycle.
