GRS认证咨询-了解Textile Exchange如何为追踪供应链中的纺织品废弃物铺平道路

Textile Exchange has released an update to its Reclaimed Materials Declaration Form (RMDF) which will mean that data will now be collected around where recycled material came from.  
纺织交易协会发布了《再生材料申报表》（RMDF）的更新版本，意味着今后将收集关于再生材料来源地的数据。

This recalibration of the RMDF paves the way for a foundational shift to how textile waste is traced in the supply chain, highlighting Textile Exchange’s commitment to tracking the difference between recycled bottles and recycled textiles. 
RMDF的重新校准为纺织废料在供应链中的追踪方式奠定了基础性转变，彰显了Textile Exchange对区分再生瓶片与再生纺织品来源的承诺。

Tracing Textile Waste追溯纺织品废弃物 

There is currently a lack of transparency around the origins of textile feedstock. At present, the industry cannot tell whether the recycled fibers it is using come from plastic bottles or from another source, and the data that is collected is often not classified or standardized efficiently.  
目前纺织原料的来源缺乏透明度。业界无法确定所使用的再生纤维是来自塑料瓶还是其他来源，且收集的数据往往未能有效分类或标准化。

To tackle this challenge, in 2023 Textile Exchange and Fashion for Good launched a project alongside brand partners including adidas, Target, BESTSELLER, Norrøna, and Levi Strauss & Co. with support from Control Union, Reverse Resources, Recover and Usha Yarns.  
为应对这一挑战，2023年纺织交易组织与时尚公益组织联合阿迪达斯、Target、BESTSELLER、Norrøna和李维斯等品牌合作伙伴，在Control Union、Reverse Resources、Recover及Usha Yarns的支持下共同启动了一个项目。

The aim was to harmonize data and system capabilities and to standardize how textile waste data is collected and shared across the supply chain, from collectors and recyclers to certification bodies. The initiative also explored integration with digital platforms like Reverse Resources to pre-fill data and reduce duplication, paving the way to a fully digital, interoperable traceability system. 
该项目的目标是协调数据和系统能力，并标准化纺织废料数据在整个供应链中的收集与共享方式，涵盖从回收商、再生企业到认证机构的各个环节。该倡议还探讨了与“反向资源”等数字平台的整合。 预先填充数据并减少重复，为全面数字化、可互操作的追溯系统铺平道路。

The project looked to adapt Textile Exchange’s Reclaimed Material Declaration Form, which verifies the source of the reclaimed material certified to GRS and RCS. 
该项目旨在调整纺织品交易所的《回收材料申报表》，该表格用于验证经GRS和RCS认证的回收材料来源。

In 2023, the RMDF gathered data including seller information, shipment information and product information such as the type of material, where it had come from and whether it was pre or post consumer.   
2023年，RMDF收集了包括卖家信息、货运信息以及产品信息在内的数据，例如材料类型、来源以及属于消费前还是消费后材料。

A key finding from the project was that Textile Exchange’s Reclaimed Material Declaration Form (RMDF) could be adapted to capture data in a standardized way to facilitate traceability.  
该项目的一个关键发现是，纺织交易组织的回收材料申报表（RMDF）可通过调整以标准化方式收集数据，从而促进可追溯性。

The report also found that the RMDF can be integrated with other systems that recyclers are currently using. This means that recyclers who use other systems to collect data around recycling inputs won’t have to enter the same data in two different places. Instead, they will be able to link the outside system with Trackit, reducing the burden of traceability on recyclers.      
报告还发现，RMDF可以与回收商当前使用的其他系统集成。这意味着使用其他系统收集回收输入数据的回收商不必在两个不同的地方输入相同的数据。相反，他们将能够将外部系统与Trackit连接起来，从而减轻回收商的溯源负担。

Using the findings of the multistakeholder project, Textile Exchange’s launched its recalibrated RMDF in July 2025. The new RMDF collects, standardizes and classifies data on textile and non-textile waste, enabling more reliable, efficient tracking and information exchange across the recycling value chain.  
纺织交易所运用多方利益相关者项目的研究成果，于2025年7月推出了重新调整后的再生材料数据框架（RMDF）。新框架通过收集、标准化和分类纺织品与非纺织品废弃物数据，实现了回收价值链上更可靠、高效的信息追踪与交换。

The revised RMDF captures and standardizes data points such as a fiber’s composition, color, origin, or source. It also lays the groundwork for future digitization and scalable solutions in textile waste management. 
修订后的回收材料数据框架（RMDF）能够捕捉并标准化纤维成分、颜色、产地或来源等数据点，同时为纺织品废弃物管理的未来数字化和可扩展解决方案奠定了基础。

Once collected, the data in the updated form will help brands to discern whether feedstock has come from recycled bottles or recycled textiles. With this greater transparency, brands will be able to increase the volume of recycled textiles used in their products and reduce the use of recycled bottles.  
数据一旦收集完成，更新后的表格将帮助品牌辨别原料是来自回收瓶还是回收纺织品。透明度提高后，品牌将能增加产品中回收纺织品的使用量，并减少回收瓶的使用。

Use of the new RMDF is optional for now, and the first certified organizations in the recycled supply chain can choose to use it when recording their reclaimed information.  
目前新RMDF的使用为自愿性质，回收供应链中首批获认证机构可在记录再生材料信息时选择采用该标准。

In the future, it will become part of Textile Exchange’s Trackit system—where companies can easily verify the data they need to make product claims. 
未来，它将成为纺织交易所追踪系统的一部分，企业可通过该系统轻松核实所需数据以支持其产品声明。
