GLOBAL CIRCULAR NETWORK
Seamlessly connect textile based products to circularity from fibre to feedstock at scale
Use Smart Tech to Scale Circular Business Models; Link upstream to downstream collaborative networks for regulations, trusted data, AI and unlock circular value at scale. Collaborative circularity for clothing, footwear, homewares, mattresses, furniture.
B2B TOOLS + CONNECTIVITY
RFID digital product passports (DPPs) for products only facilitates efficient industrial-scale B2B circular traceability that connects third-party platforms via a "digital bridge" for shared connectivity +DIGITISED CIRCULAR VALUE CHAIN PLATFORM adopting the United Nations Transparency Protocol (UNTP) for global data interoperability and efficient inter-industry circular collaboration.
B2C TOOLS + CONNECTIVITY
Brands add single-scan QR Codes/NFCs to products /swing tags for Product ID compliance and links consumers to Extended Producer Responsibility networks for incentivised circularity - supporting separate third-party Customer Passport Apps for customers to download post-purchase decouples the person from the product to safeguard customers.
Affordable RFID readers linked to RFID DPPs, including the world's first washable RFiD THREADS®, to collect full circular open-source data at scale; connecting transport, human centre design and Industry 4.0 - keeping product data separate from consumer data.
RFiD THREADS® + WALK platform efficiently adds verified mapped upstream supply chain product data to DPPs at scale ⟶ then connects to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for fast authentication, resource and revenue recovery, collects EPR R-CYCLER data plus increases ROI ⟶ then diverts to bulk sorting supporting certifiable recycling feedstock ⟶ enables efficient, verifiable reporting from circular design strategies to longevity data ⟶ that's communicated to customers.
Uses United Nations Transparency Protocol (UNTP) for verifiable data traceability and global machine readable interoperability. Consolidates global Standards and certification to ensure trusted data exchange across global value chains.
Seamlessly connect AI, multi-language training, link SCM for returns and deadstock data, logistics and circular value chains to scale a data driven collaborative circular economy to meet environmental and social targets, plus upcoming Regulations.
Diverts revenue and resources from landfill to boost jobs and economies plus meet emissions and pollution mitigation targets.
Bulk upload traceability data
Add EPR to increase ROI
R-CYCLERS add EPR data
Efficient sort & certify recycling
The Global Circular Network is a Digital Product Passport (DPP) platform providing RFID THREADS® UHF DPP for textile-based products, linking products at scale to interconnected value chains using the United Nations Transparency Protocol (UNTP) for interoperable digital trade facilitation and open-source traceability both upstream and downstream.
GCN assists brands and regulators with verifiable reporting data for products to travel around a fully traceable circular economy at scale efficiently unlocking profits through Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
Brands create circular B2B business models with efficient RFID DPPs plus link customers to their website and third-party B2C Customer Passports via single-scan QR Code/NFCs to support consumer privacy.
Use RFID readers/sensors, IoT and robotics to link to an interconnected platform connecting products at-scale for efficient, traceable and compliant circularity, from fibre to feedstock.
COLLABORATIVE CIRCULARITY AT SCALE "I don't see any better way to help digitally power the circular economy for textiles.”
Peter Majeranowski, Circ
The untapped power of EPR product life extension and a smart circular economy is impactful; the positive affect by brands on communities, economies and the environment can be harnessed and calculated via a single RFID thread and an interconnected network of humans in collaboration with AI and Industry 4.0.
Brands, manufacturers, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) R-CYCLERS, Producer Responsibility Organisations (PRO), sorters and recyclers plus regulators will need trusted, verifiable product data at scale to prove compliance, reduce waste and capture new revenue from circular business models.
* RFID THREADS® = best for B2B industrial-scale circularity, traceability and data capture across the full product lifecycle - 100+ washes.
* QR Codes/NFC = single-scan tools best for consumer interaction, providing accessible product information or DPP summaries at point of sale or post-purchase via downloadable third-party Customer Passport Apps.
QR codes, NFC tools plus unconnected RFID tags—can’t deliver bulk, efficient, traceable data capture across global circular value chains for years and separate products from consumer privacy. Use GCN's interlinked smart system to divert valuable textiles from landfill, meet emissions targets, regulations and recover ROI.
