Building Trust in Sustainability with Aware™ Technology

In today's world, sustainability is more than just a buzzword—it's a movement. And at Branded, we're all about staying ahead of the curve. That’s why we’re excited to share Aware™ with you, a game-changing traceability technology that builds trust by ensuring sustainable materials are authentic throughout the production process. But what sets Aware™ apart? Let’s dive in!

Aware™ is the world’s first hybrid traceability solution, and it acts like a virtual passport for sustainable materials. This system tracks the journey of every product from its initial textile form all the way to your hands—ensuring every step meets the highest eco-friendly standards.

The Aware™ Three-Step Process

Step 1: Tracing from the Start

It all begins with the Aware™ Tracer Particles. These tiny but mighty tracers are added to the recycled fibers that make up the product's fabric. Once embedded, these particles are spun into yarn, and the magic begins. These tracers are detectable at every stage of production, ensuring that from thread to tote, the materials remain sustainable and traceable.

Step 2: Verifying Every Step of the Journey

Throughout the entire production process, the Aware™ Tracer Particles are scanned to verify that nothing has altered along the way. This tracking keeps an eye on the product’s journey, verifying its integrity, authenticity, and sustainability.

Step 3: A Virtual ID & Product Passport

At the end of the line, the consumer gets direct access to this detailed tracking information. By simply scanning a QR code sewn into each product, customers can view the Aware™ Virtual ID & Product Passport. This virtual passport gives access to important sustainability data, helping buyers make informed decisions.
