“The advent of technology enables companies to seamlessly integrate complex capabilities that can trace the whole journey of their products from farm to garment. That represents a whole new meaning to sustainability as consumers can now make smart choices on their purchases based on the information that is available for them,” Dato’ Elaine Teh, President of IWFCIM,
Blockchain In Fashion Supply Chain
Consumers can use WOW Trace, a blockchain-based traceability solution that will enable consumers to check and validate the authenticity of the product starting from what it is made to how it is made during every stage of the supply chain.
Users can just scan the QR code on the product where the consumers can get access to instructions on how the product should be handled to the origin of the material.
Datuk Yasmin Mahmood, CEO of FutureReady Consulting Sdn Bhd, stated:
“The ABCD technology is embedded in our social fabric today. Specifically, with blockchain, we have arrived at an exciting time, where two-pronged goals are met. Firstly, we can have local industries and communities thrive as their artisan work, culture, heritage and rights can be protected. And secondly, it helps industries and SMEs immensely in integrating the Sustainable Development Goal as part of their strategic focus.”
“With the current global situation, sustainability is crucial in order to preserve the future for our children,” said Cris D. Tran, Regional Head and Managing Director, Infinity Blockchain Ventures Malaysia. “Through new technologies like blockchain, it can further enhance product traceability and bring a whole new meaning to the term ‘ethically sourced’.”
