ZURICH – Nettle Circle, a manufacturer of fibre from Himalayan nettle bark, has partnered with traceability solutions provider Haelixa to forensically map the lifecycle of its product.
Set to be launched at next week’s Future Fabric Expo in London, the tagged material verifies its origins back to the mountains of Asia, whilst spotlighting the work of the remote communities who make a living harvesting the bark.
“We are proud to have Haelixa partner with Nettle Circle to provide a physical traceability solution and transparency from the fields to finished products. Since nettle fibre is new to the textile market, we wanted to ensure from the beginning that Nettle Circle fibres were uniquely identifiable,” commented Cornelia Bamert, Nettle Circle’s CEO and founder.
