German traceability technology manufacturer Tailorlux has been awarded a patent for its development of a sensor capable of detecting and quantifying blends of fibres in products.
The company says the technology, which uses a spectroscopic signal and can also be used to determine recycled content claims, is a major step towards more transparent supply chains.
Tailorlux says the patent was processed and awarded in record time through the ‘Green Channel’ which accelerates applications for inventions which have an environmental benefit.
