With so much \u201chaziness\u201d in today\u2019s apparel supply chain,\xa0Sorona\xae\xa0is determined to give brands and consumers alike the confidence that they are getting high-performance\xa0fabric\xa0backed by true sustainability claims.\nIn launching the Common Thread Fabric Certification Program for Sorona\xae in 2020,\xa0DuPont Biomaterials\xa0made this a reality. Those interested in certification must submit fabric swatches to a laboratory for testing in order to gain a certificate for\xa0a minimum level of Sorona\xae bio-based content, as well as\xa0quality and performance, which then results in access to approved logos, marketing materials and more.\nFor supply chain partners, the program goes back to one imperative, according to Alexa Raab, global brand and communications leader at Sorona\xae\u2014educating the consumer.\nRaab spoke with Sourcing Journal founder Edward Hertzman about Sorona's Common Thread Fabric Certification Program.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
