CRAiLAR Technologies announced that it has joined the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC). The company will use the group’s sustainability measurement tool, the Higg Index, to measure environmental responsibility across its agriculture and manufacturing processes.
“We welcome CRAiLAR to the Coalition, and look forward to their participation in this industry-wide effort in sustainability, ” said Coalition Executive Director Jason Kibbey. “Having CRAiLAR as part of the Coalition…accelerates the change we’re making towards responsible industry actions.”
The Higg Index is an open source, indicator-based tool that allows suppliers, manufacturers, brands, and retailers to evaluate materials, products, facilities, and processes based on environmental and design choices. CRAiLAR will contribute data and resources to support the Higg Index in an effort to make its supply chain decision-making more efficient and environmentally sustainable.
“With the SAC’s leadership position in the apparel and textiles sectors, we are pleased to contribute to a model for how industries can collaborate in making a positive impact on value chain performance,” said Ken Barker, CRAiLAR’s CEO. “CRAiLAR Flax is a natural fiber that can make an immediate and dramatic impact on product sustainability, a priority of SAC members and non-members alike.”
CRAiLAR joins more than 90 global brands, retailers and manufacturers, governments, non-profit environmental organizations, and academic institutions committed to improving supply chain sustainability in the apparel and footwear industries.
