OnceMore® from Södra brings end-to-end traceability for circular Man-made Cellulosic Fibers (MMCF) using TextileGenesis

OnceMore® from Södra, the world’s first large-scale process for recycling blended fabrics into high‐quality dissolving pulp, will begin using TextileGenesis, a Lectra company, to strengthen traceability from raw material to retail across the value chain. OnceMore® produces dissolving pulp made from blended textile waste and wood sourced from responsibly managed Swedish forests. By integrating TextileGenesis, OnceMore® supports the growing need for verified data and secure, transparent tracking throughout increasingly complex supply chain.


Traceability as a foundation for circular MMCF and regulatory readiness

The implementation marks a key milestone for scaling circular MMCF, highlighting the role of digital traceability. It establishes a verified digital chain for OnceMore® materials, ensuring full chain-of-custody from pulp and fiber production through to finished garments. By unifying material movement and supply‐chain data into a single system, the rollout enhances transparency across tiers and geographies and increases supplier participation. Traceability from raw material to retail will give OnceMore® and its brand partners access to a verified digital chain of custody. This strengthens authenticated recycled‐content claims and provides a stronger data foundation for product‐level disclosures, reporting, and upcoming regulatory requirements, particularly in preparation for the EU Digital Product Passport (:).

TextileGenesis’ FibercoinTM token technology will be used to generate digital tokens linked to material volumes, creating a secure and verified digital footprint at each transformation stage. This approach strengthens integrity across complex supply chains and supports scalable circularity programs beyond fragmented, manual documentation.

“Traceability across the value chain relies on reliable data and clear documentation,” said Tina Lemke, Marketing & Brand Experience Manager at OnceMore®. “By introducing [waste and wood-to-retail] traceability through the TextileGenesis solution, we strengthen the integrity of our chain of custody and give our customers verified information about how materials move through each production step.”

Delivering scalable traceability through supplier enablement and platform excellence

OnceMore® supply chain partners are being onboarded to the TextileGenesis solution with structured implementation support. Suppliers will conduct transactions using TextileGenesis’ FibercoinTM modules, enabling consistent data capture across the chain and creating visibility into material flow and supply chain participation.

“OnceMore® is one of the strongest circular innovations in MMCF today, and this rollout shows what it looks like to operationalize traceability at scale,” said Amit Gautam, Founder & CEO of TextileGenesis. “By embedding traceability directly into material transactions, this rollout creates the verified data infrastructure needed for regulatory compliance, brand accountability, and credible circularity claims.”

Elastic yarns to become more recyclable and environmentally friendly in future

On 29 April 2026, ITA student Tobias Dickmeiß was awarded a sponsorship prize by the Wilhelm Lorch-Stiftung for his innovative approach, to replacing conventional elastane with elastic yarns made from thermoplastic copolyester elastomers (TPC). Thanks to their thermoplastic nature and compatibility with typical polyesters used in the textile industry, elastic TPC yarns offer improved recyclability. Furthermore, the use of the melt-spinning process in yarn production eliminates the need for solvents that are harmful to the environment and human health.
