Södra will integrate the TextileGenesis platform into its OnceMore® process to strengthen traceability across the value chain for circular man-made cellulosic fibers (MMCF).
OnceMore® produces dissolving pulp from blended textile waste and wood sourced from responsibly managed Swedish forests. With the integration of TextileGenesis, the process will be supported by a verified digital chain of custody, from raw material to finished garments.
The rollout establishes end-to-end tracking across the supply chain. It brings material flows and transaction data into a single system. This improves visibility across suppliers and geographies while supporting growing regulatory requirements.
According to Södra, traceability is becoming a key enabler for scaling circular MMCF. The system will provide verified data on recycled content and support product-level disclosures, including upcoming frameworks such as the EU Digital Product Passport.
The platform uses Fibercoin™ token technology to link digital records to material volumes at each transformation stage. This creates a secure data trail and replaces fragmented documentation with standardized digital tracking.
“Traceability across the value chain relies on reliable data and clear documentation,” said Tina Lemke. “By introducing traceability through the TextileGenesis solution, we strengthen the integrity of our chain of custody and give our customers verified information about how materials move through each production step.”
Supply chain partners are being onboarded with structured implementation support. They will record transactions through TextileGenesis modules, enabling consistent data capture and improved visibility across the network.
“OnceMore® is one of the strongest circular innovations in MMCF today, and this rollout shows what it looks like to operationalize traceability at scale,” said Amit Gautam. “By embedding traceability directly into material transactions, this rollout creates the data infrastructure needed for compliance and credible circularity claims.”
The move reflects a broader shift toward digital traceability as a foundation for circular textile systems and regulatory readiness.
Södra is Sweden’s largest forest owners’ association, with more than 50,000 family forest owners as members. The group operates an integrated forest industry, producing pulp, timber, building systems, energy, and biochemicals from renewable forest raw materials. It employs around 3,400 people and exports its products worldwide.
