ALLIED Feather + Down, global leaders in high performance, responsibly sourced, and sustainably processed down, is preparing for a more transparent textiles future by expanding their supply chain transparency initiatives and sharing initial insights with the market at Permière Vision Paris this September. 

As the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) prepares to set sustainability and transparency requirements on most products sold in the European Union, ALLIED is working with the supply chain specialists at Green Threads : on a comprehensive audit of their down processing facilities. This initiative, when combined with ALLIED’s previous transparency successes with the Responsible Down Standard and their Track My Down education tool, will create the gold standard for transparency in the down industry.

“As a renewable and biodegradable byproduct of the food industry, down is one of the most sustainable insulation options currently on the market,” said Daniel Uretsky, President with ALLIED Feather + Down. “Now, with the work we are doing with Green Threads, we will have additional data to support these claims, allowing us to help futureproof our partner brands and their customers as new transparency regulations and requirements are implemented.”

By the end of 2025, the EU will release final standards for Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation and Digital Product Passport compliance. ALLIED will be well positioned to provide partner brands with all the information needed to meet pending regulations and showcase sustainability achievements. 

“ALLIED are leaders in supply chain transparency and therefore understand how important this transparency has become in the modern materials marketplace,” said Ross Alexander, CEO with Green Threads :. “The audits we are conducting will help ALLIED and their brand partners more easily navigate future compliance requirements and create a point of differentiation at retail, where customers are increasingly interested in making informed buying decisions.”

ALLIED will be exhibiting at Première Vision Paris September 16-18, exhibiting in booth 6L66.
