Downlite Outdoor announced it would introduce its traceable Down-Trac technology at the Functional Fabric Fair in Portland, OR from April 4-5.
“Responsible to the Core,” Downlite developed its Down-Trac app for iPhones for retailers and customers to access its sustainable down supply chain.
Each lot of down and feather that it produces receives an identifier at each stage of the process, which is then combined into a final lot number when the material is ready per a brand’s requirements.
Retailers can integrate the system on their websites, where consumers enter the lot number into a search bar or scan a tagged Q.R. code to learn details about a product’s natural fill, from fill power to its origin.
The system is currently free, and all information is consolidated based on third-party traceability audits and testing.
