Following a successful pilot run last year with a global brand to understand the feasibility and adaptability of the TextileGenesis platform, Birla Cellulose said it is now expanding the scope to include more brands on the TextileGensis platform in addition to the existing GreenTrack platform.
The company said it will be leveraging on TextileGenesis’ blockchain-enabled digital traceability platform, which is a key tool for providing transparency across the textile value chain to the end consumer.

Amit Gautam, chief executive officer and founder of TextileGenesis, explained: “With increasing compliance and reputational risks, CEOs and boards of top 100 fashion brands have committed to using 100% sustainable and traceable fibres over the next five years, with transparency being a core part of business priorities.
“Sustainability and traceability are intertwined, and it’s great to partner with Birla Cellulose and deliver transparency solutions for the brands. Our supply chain traceability platform will create digital solutions for Birla Cellulose’s innovative and sustainable fibres across the entire supply chain using Fibercoins traceability technology.”
