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.

RFiD Digital Product Passports for efficient industrial-scale B2B circular traceability that connects third-party platforms via a "digital bridge" plus single-scan QR Code/NFCs for B2C Product ID and third-party Customer Passport Apps for private customer data and incentivised circularity.

RFID’s + 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, R-CYCLER data plus increased ROI ⟶ then diverts to bulk sorting plus 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.
Affordable RFID readers linked to RFID DPPs, including 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.
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.

The Global Circular Network is a Digital Product Passport (DPP) platform for textile-based products, linking products at scale to interconnected value chains through efficient RFID DPPs.

GCN uses the world’s first washable RFID THREADS® UHF DPP linked to the United Nations Transparency Protocol (UNTP) for interoperable digital trade facilitation and global 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.

“The RFID Thread product … is simply the most exciting RFID tag (thread) that I have seen after selling EAS electronic security and RFID tracking technologies to fashion retailers for over 30 years.” Peter Hogan, Veritas Tech
