Can regenerative wool make fashion more sustainable?

This is an excellent article that demonstrates the need for traceability across the value chain for the fashion industry which highlights the need for tools like Intertek's SourceClear which brings visibility and traceability to the supply chain through independent validation of product sustainability claims such as recycled content, organic materials, good environmental and social practices where products are manufactured and ultimately accurate labelling of products.

SourceClear manages and certifies product and materials and business transactions throughout the various supply chain stages from raw materials to final products, and provides visibility to both suppliers/ manufacturers, global brands, and retailers. It enables organizations to validate sustainability commitments with confidence, while helping conscious consumers make better informed product choices towards a sustaining future.

Van der Wyck and Wessely turned their attention to a much, much older material. They met regenerative sheep farmers who "wanted to bring about radical change" to their industry, Wessely says. Impressed with farmers' convictions and the technical and environmental benefits they claimed their produce offered, they landed on their raw material of choice: regenerative wool. "The real answer came in the form of an ancient material, albeit sourced and treated in a pioneering way," says Wessely.
