Final presentation and then we have some colleagues that are connected that will be also participating so the idea it's to it's to explore some some some reflections about our traceability hub from the ash to a project so as As we shared in our last Event in Paris The traceability hub the idea it's really to have any space for cooperation synergies in collaboration to support the journey the journey of a traceability and transparency and With that in the in the occasion of the first training scheme In Damstadt we presented our vision so the idea it was to to collaborate to have a traceability and transparency as an standard practice and Supporting the SMEs in the transition No, and the first impact area will be the chemical traceability for textiles In the idea it's that as we heard during the whole day. We have an opportunity To align our work with established global global frameworks and today we be having a very brief overview of some initiatives that are happening right now and in the in the market and We see how we can collaborate so As I as I mentioned the objective it's to have an overview on those three initiatives and For the first one is to understand the work that have been performed by a Coalition of organizations and we have a connected with us online Three colleagues that we be presented present their their work and how how and their insights and Then we be having an overview also on the UNICI Initiative and also we have the same fact this the product but spot where we have a more technical technologies then in data models and and we be finishing with A coat of action so an initiative to to move forward with our first working group and with that I Hand over to our colleagues that That are connected online and that will be presenting us This workshop in agreement. They were the guidelines that they have they have been developed and and with a number of organizations and Here connected with us. We have a color. We have Piero and we have also Jessica I think So without further ado, I Let the floor to to the colleagues and they can tell me when I needed to Go to the next slide Hello, I love everybody and Emilia can I ask to share my screen with my presentation because I did some few adjustments on it? Yes Yeah, we stop sharing our screen here and normally we can do it. Okay in this way We can go faster and around Better the the presentation among three of us So you can it seems you can share now. Okay. I'm working on it. Do you see my screen? Yes Okay, the presentation So we can start. Yes. So I'm just a touch Thank you for inviting us and that is the opportunity to Talk about our last activity About this CWA just published the last October I'm a researcher of NEO which is the the Italian National Agency for new technologies energy and sustainable economic development and We are I'm here with the Piero, which is a consultant but former NEO Also, NEO a researcher and the Carla which Work for reverse resources and so the motivation about our our job what Conduct us until now we started with the European project which was strict project in 2021 and it was a very big project with a lot of Partners and I talk about more in detail in Soon, but we mainly in the objective of this slide is to tell you that we follow three step the three project led us to the ecosystem in Ecosystems initiatives where we have the opportunity to collaborate and exchange our results With other European textile projects try to share the results and harmonize them and We arrived this year in 2025 to this M.C.W.A And it is a technical document released by SEM And it is developed very rapidly in a voluntary Sessions with the interest parties and an expert group And it is very effective for sharing the results of research project. So this is the reason why we choose this kind of Outside and why we Did this activity because of Several Motivations and challenges in the sector in the context right now We have a sector textile sector, which is very fragmented the characterized by opacity complexity Limited the transparency along the supply chain. We have Confidentiality issues that is a barrier to the data sharing among the actors of the supply chains We have all also lack of a monetization and standardization in the collection of data and in the sharing of data along The one chain and on the other side we have very rapidly Evolving scenario in the European regulations with the new upcoming Ones and we have also an increasing demand for Traceability and sustainability that data from companies where Traceability is seen as the key enabler enabler for the sustainability. So This CWA has been developed with the support as technical secretariat of uni, which is the Italian standard bodies But reports it is based not only on the trick result, but also on two more European projects, which are Pesco up and Sissutak As already said tick project It was a very long project for the two months with more than three partners We have some initial goals, which are Reaching a circular economy roadmap and release six standardized business services released on a open marketplace and We have Developed a platform a standardized platform to support as miss in sustainable fashion But also on circular economy and this kind of platform is based on trust ability that it is a backbone to Support the six services that goes from origin Certification to circular assessment health protection assessment and also social and ethical Topics and it is aligned to support the DPP And on the side of technologies we have the blockchain which ensure in trick platform data security confidentiality and data portability Due to the evolution of the normative context four additional key objectives Was in the focus of the trick project. So we had one to support Listing and standardized data collection to support companies that need to be Ready for the DPP to match the requirements around the arising from the upcoming regulations but also to manage confidentiality and responsibility of data and Also to provide companies with shared and standardized tool to help them to reduce the cost of setup new Collaboration but also to set up internal trust ability systems necessary to comply with the new regulations And at the base of the trick approach we have the trust ability and Transparency and we focus on these six main pillars We focus on the collection of primary data directly from the field and the data have been Moderated to be reused within different services and context We put attention on the evidence generated by daily operation In order to support marketing claims like origin or legal claims like the median We focus also on that responsibility because in the trick platform each actor Of the trace that the supply chain is responsible for the data plotted on the platform We enhance digitization because effective traceability required an effective digitization along the supply chain but also we Support customized the data disclosure policies to overcome the reluctance to disclose the internal data and We provide the developed provide the holistic data model which has a standardized approach it is even based and it is developed on a Specification which is the sense of the way ab is which is a sector of sectorial specification On the side of cooperation, I leave the floor To Carla and then to Piero for the context to provide you some insight Thank You, Jessica. So you can go to the next slide and Another important important aspect of the work carried out within the CWA and the trick project was The collaboration with other projects and initiatives with the main aim to actually be aligned within the regular auditory landscape with the focus on the SPR digital product passports and EPR and Basically, we wanted to avoid overlaps and And to create something that was already there So we wanted to enhance knowledge transfer and that's why we contacted a set of initiatives and project and projects in order to see what they were developing and how we could exchange the information We also have an active participation on the ecosystem's initiative where we were living two working groups and one of them focused on the DPP and An SPR with the main aim to identify where were the main gaps that the projects were not addressing and Where the other projects were working so we could see synergies between our results and their results Also, we wanted to address the challenges from a holistic and interdisciplinary perspective because as said by Jessica The CWA was come from one part from the trick project so we were missing some of parts direct representation of the value chain and Finally, we also wanted to have additional pilots to test and analyze the adoption and scalability of Circular sustainable and traceability approaches next slide and Mainly the collaborations that happen within the ecosystex Initiative where together with the CISU tag Pesco app surplus project and tier threat so the main eight items that we put together to be exchanged and to grade synergies was the event traceability and sustainability open model of trick and also at the different data groups Evaluation from the pilots From the CISU tech project, for example, the collaboration was related to the data points that they put together for guidance on the end of life Decision and they also develop a decision support tool based on that data points on the side of Pesco app Pesco app developed a minimum data requirements data model for targeting textile to textile recycling And so we were looking into these data points how they relate to feedstocks of sorted waste and Then for surplus one and two, let's say we also Collaborate closely To understand better, what are the definitions of the data typology requirements from the data system perspective? that is what they are doing in surface and also the impact assessment of a set of pilots and next slide finally The collaboration within the sense CWA was between the CISU tag and Pesco app projects and Afterwards, we will talk more into detail how these two projects contributed to the trick approach and also we provided data model mapping From the trick data model to the Pesco app one where Basically, we did this comparative analysis between the two models And they provide insights on how a process oriented Approach that is the one adopted in Pesco app Can be aligned with an actor oriented approach that is the one that is emphasized it within the trick Project and these results this mapping are they are publicly available in the trick project deliverables Thank You Carla. I leave you the floor to Piero for the normative context Thank you. I think that Probably you are completely aware about what is running in the field of digital passport anyway, I show you these Small Atlas of the situation in order to understand where We stay with the this work of this CWA You can see up to now up to yesterday I say we have a number of initiative Normative that has been published standard that has been Established and so Now and that is the first column on the left now We have a number of initiatives that are running and from the side of the normative We are expecting for waiting for the delegated act on governance and Especially delegated act for sector specific Regulation What is important, I think is to understand that there is a side that is Something that is what we call the the legally bounded Aspect of DPP the digital passport in the upper side of this map are In some way or will be in some way defined by the normative what is running is Beyond the Dashed line Something that is not legally bounded, but it's something that help company in setting up efficient and Effective flows of data and here in this area. We have a lot of work that has been Do is been done By standard nation bodies. We have experiences of project like trick and what is The role of these CWA is in some way To establish the guidelines that could be used to set up collaboration along the supply chains in order to retrieve Faithful information about us a bit of sustainability I think that the key of all this game about the digital portal passport will be to be able or not to collect primary data or at least Indicators derived from primary data and not only literature parameters on based on average behavior of the produce and then the possibility to make them verifiable and To give the people the possibility to check the accuracy and the responsibility on this data who Inserted or defined this data how much they are faithful how they will be where calculated The next slide. Thank you And here you see the list of the needs that are the basis of the CWA that We wrote they are An improvement in respect of the work already done in the tree project It is really a second step after the conclusion of the project It is the result also further work with other projects and with other people I would like to stress the aspect of the incremental data collection. We know that we haven't always all the data in the Form the format that we want With the granularity that we want so we have to deal with the situation where the granularity of the data Is the various All the data are not available since the beginning but they could be incremented along the life of our Produce we have a plurality of actors. We need to in some way report Information about the data responsibility and the confidentiality that we want to Apply on this data. So there are a lot of needs and The next slide We know that when we speak about the digital portal passport The normative that is in progress more or less as three main category of information The so-called the eco design requirements that are dealing with the I don't know energy waste Produce the waste the consumed water and durability and so Information about the Indification of the product and the responsible operator for Pressing it on the European market and some information about the history of the product We know that this part is less defined today It will depend on the digital on the story the delegated art But Partially some information about the history at least the facility or the state where manufacturing Activity were performed. What is important that you can see that here we have a Set of information that is not defined today and What do we experience it in that trick project and in this work of the CWA in the next slide? Thanks Is that more or less? For digital portal passport as well to be ready for the digital portal passport or to be ready for Schema of impact assessment like PEP CR and so we Need to collect some information. What we did was to try to understand some abstract data sets to try to model them to understand how they could be structured and how they could be Changed in order to be prepared for the digital portal passport Probably not all this information will be required But in some way we tried to have an holistic vision about how to collect this information how to exchange between different actors and how to Use them in order to be prepared for the top of the passport and other Regulations that are coming. I leave the floor to Jessica I think yes. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you So we move to this is a stem CWA now It the title is guidelines on data collection of from textiles to play chain for the digital product passport as I really said it was published on October and is Downloadable by the same website. I'll provide you again the link We have four main overall goals in this sense CWA We wanted to establish the and provide the guidelines and the opening resources to enable and Optimize the data collection along the supply chain the entire supply chain in order to improve Transparency and sustainability claims. We propose a common semantics. So a common language to enhance interoperability we Want to support companies with a standardized approach to the accessibility and sustainability data collection with a focus on the data necessary to fill in the digital product passport thing and we want to share experience from European projects as I really said including the Data model which is public is only holistic. So it is comprehensive and it is implemented on A bit the specification. So it is a standardized approach And this is a simple overview about the table of content of this is a sense CWA Only to tell you that we have the core sections that provide the guidelines So the general guidelines and the annexes that on the other side provides all the resources examples Coming from the project experience We have three main topics in the CWA In the general guidelines we provide the context already introduced by Piero. We provide the approach to the data gathering and we propose two reference collaborative processes several data structures of this data model and examples and resources So moving to the approach the CWA proposes Six main steps for setting up the data gathering for sustainability and sustainability step one has the identification of the objectives of the data gathering and of the legal value of the data gathering and Proposed to define a strategy for the involvement of the supply chain and all the actors And in step two we have the description of the actual supply chains with the actors and related roles Step three the more Detailed section with the setting up of this ability system. We will have a focus on it and the step four we provide Suggesting for the sustainability data gathering step five contains the two main Collaborative reference collaborative processes and their structures step six contains the data model and the proposed data structure for Traceability sustainability data gathering The focus on step three so the setting up of the traceability system As you can see We have some sub steps The approach is based on the unicy methodology for sustainable and transparent fashion supply chain It is the more detailed section with the definition of a path to follow to set up this data data gathering We start from the identification of the traceable asset and Assets and their identifiers and move to the classification of traceability system boundaries We go through the verification criteria and method and we define the to be scenario with expected functionalities and use cases and here we Focuses on main the main characteristics such as the notification of the relevant manufacturing steps the data responsible owner the supply chain governance adopted in the data gathering And with characteristics technical organization for the supporting tools and the barriers to be mitigated On the other side, we have also the choice of the events to trace at each phase Of the manufacturing process of the supply chain and of the related evidence Finally, we have the identification of categories information and data flows From the side of the governments, we identified two possible approaches to data gathering as you can see in the diagram We have First use case named the produce and manage supply chain data gathering Where the main actor that can be the producer or the responsible economic operator Has a close relationship with each actor of the supply chain to be traced And in this situation when the main actor So the producer asks for information Each company Collects its own data. So it's it is responsible for its own data and evidence And share them according to established disclosure policies While in the second case Single tier manager data gathering each actor is responsible and collects its own data And request the remaining information. So the missing information from its direct suppliers So in Another aspect to be considered is the topology of the supply chain ecosystems Because we can have mainly Two situations. The first one is a mono platform Ecosystem where we have only one platform that collects all the data and is in charge for all the data exchanges among the actors The involved actors while in the second case we have a multi platform situation where data can be collected through different platform that Ask that are asked to cooperate by exchanging data on bf for their customers And in this case Interoperability is a mandatory requirement And we can say that this scenario And supporting this scenario is the only way to avoid that one supplier is forced to connect and insert the same data on different platforms several times The adding value from prick project was that The two pilots the two tech strike pilots Managed the two Governance approaches. So we had the two circular pilot in trick project That has the goal To demonstrate that the trick solution approach is feasible for implementing traceability, circularity and transparency They lasted for about one year and in this one year Consisted the of two production loops The first loop used the virgin fabrics and the second one incorporated the recycled material from the first loop and at the end Two products have been realized for each pilot and a comparison of their performances have been carried out through the path methodology And Another aspect is that the approach of the single tier manager that Gathering can be considered as a relay race Where the data gathering is changed among the tiers can be considered as the button. So Moreover the trick platform managing both the approaches Is very interesting and is the reason why we based the approach of the CWA on trick results because In the approach has been tested on real industrial pilots For the step four, which is the sustainability data gathering, we identified a consultancy pattern scenario This scenario involves one or more external partners often when Assessing ability data gathering was started. It is often driven by the need to meet some certification requirements such as pay for LCA So this process typically requires the involvement of a third party As such as the expert or the reviewer or auditors To validate the data and verify the results of the evaluation study and the model developed Based on the use case of PEF and PFCR on one side, which was the most completed and of the SA8000 for ethical and social aspects We identified the most relevant entities on traceability and to sustainability With their relationships as you can say the event plays a central role in the schema putting relationship the information related to to the traceable asset the product component the process step and its locations The supporting documentation and the traceability report that traceability report Is a structured document in xml or json format And it reports all the the history and reference the history of the product and the reference to its component and raw material and related evidence So it reports all the In traceability information collected by the system related to a single traceable asset There can be a batch or a single item and so on And this traceability report can be considered as the bet on in the relate race mentioned before Thanks to the incremental approach And that already has been already introduced by Piero in fact this kind of document can be Uploaded adding a new event to it by the system The most relevant entities on sustainability And you can can be not Can be noticed that some entities are the same of the ones of the traceability schema And this because the proposed data model has been designed With them of harmonized and reused the data structures for different purposes And we are here a similar document the structured document which is the transparency and sustainability report Which is used to collect and report all the information about production process facilities and The organization that are necessary to describe the sustainability characteristics of the product Regarding the reference collaborative processes the reason why we focus on the definition of two main Reference collaborative process in the CWI but generally also in a in a bees specification It is the needs two standardized collaboration by defining a methodology a standardized methodology To define how data are exchanged between the partners and in what sequence We have The traceability for sustainability process the first one as you can see it Consists in several activities Each of these activity Is structured and specifies As you can see in this example for the incoming material activity Specifies when to exchange data under which pred condition and results With which data groups that are documents or messages and can be noticed in the transactions section but also identifying the rules involved and Through activity diagram that provide which kind of Documents are exchanged among the actors and what sequence This is the recycled fiber from waste supply choice process So it is the second reference collaborative process defined in the CWA And it is less less detailed because it is based on the ongoing work of Pesco app and sissutak projects And it is still in products in progress But the initial indications let us to define two distinct activities with the related involved actors We provide several resources already said in the annexes of the CWA We provide the data structures like this one. I go faster here taxonope But also the coding table and nomenclatures Mainly based on official nomenclatures Example of traceability but also on sustainability and transparency report a diagram and of work flows And then I leave the floor again to Carla for the downstream part Yeah, thank you Jessica So yeah, like the modeling of the downstream part of the value chain as Detroit project didn't have a direct representation of the partners involved was done in collaboration with Pesco app and sissutak Here we can see a representation of of that end of life part of the value chain The approach that we follow within the scene CWA was a model assumed that was demand driven meaning that We assume that normally The demand of recycle fibers is done through the brands or any manufacturer of the value chain as could be a yarn provider And similarly between the connection Uh between the sorter and the collector. So it's um, it's the sorter that actually drives the demand Towards the collection site Again, the idea here was We was to collaborate with this to mention projects and They're as as meant by Jessica. Uh, some of the results are not published yet. But if you move to the next slide, Jessica, we will Uh, we will explain a bit more detail at where this uh, What part they they provided specifically, uh for the project So sissutak is one of uh an horizon project that they aim to do circularity in the european textile sector by removing some of the key bottlenecks through pilots on repair Sorting and recycling and they have developed a decision super tool that identify a wide range of data points in able to uh important to enable circularity And these data points have the potential to accelerate the transition of post consumer textile ways into reuse repair and recycling for example, for um, here we can see these recommends, uh, 17 recommended data points for recycling reuse and repair. There are some Uh data points as could be the price or the brand that are more relevant for reuse or repair Or whereas other related to the material composition or recycle counter are more relevant to recycling and moving to the next slide jessica and On the side of pescoa project pescoa is another horizon Europe initiative that the main focus is to find an economic viable process for upcycling mixed polyester cotton uh textile waste mixes and Specifically pescoa has developed a dedicated data model and what we did was to try to see how we could bring all the knowledge from the pescoa site into Into this cwa and specifically the data model of pescoa targets textile to textile recycling So they uh, well the work we are doing here because as reverse resources We're also working in this project is to define an harmonized ways of representing information of the non-reusable post consumer textiles That go to a series of process from sorting to the pretreatment to the recycling and the data model the structure of the data model Is through three main processes that are involved in the preparation of non-reusable textiles Starting from the sorting where we capture what are the output specifications? that For example can can be retrieved from sensors Then there's the pretreatment of fistic preparation part to ensure that the materials meet the requirements needed for the recyclers And finally in the recycling part that it's the part that involves the separation and breakdown of the fibers Here, uh, we focus on the input specifications to define the material characteristics and the minimum data requirements That should be met at the previous steps to ensure the Compatibility of the recycler And in this slide specifically, uh, you see what are the main four data groups That uh, the data model of pescoa categorizes the information And as you see there's the entity and facility data the data the input and output specification and the data That could be interpreted by the sensor sensor and final slide So how we are continuing to move forward with these collaborations is Is through the ecosystems target group number five I mentioned already that we collaborated a lot within the ecosystems ecosystem and specifically since last Since beginning of this year. There was another group called circular textile data that it was Close for the first year, but it's going to open to other projects Next year this group is led by text road btt and reverse resources And here we will include the results from this cwi and the project including data model The a visa dates and the pilot results the minimum data requirements of the pescoa data model The cizutak decision support tool and also this minimum Data points and other results from the sirpas to projects ch t-rex extended and we are now extending to other projects But this code basically is to bring together all the different data related needs and developments from these projects so we can Well channel these useful resources to the industry and policy And the main priorities is to align in data users and data requirements and to try to establish semantic interoperability to scale circular textiles And that's all on my side. Thank you We close with some suggestions to on how to use the cwa So we suggest to follow the proposed steps as a checklist On how to proceed when set up a data gathering for the new regulations In order to evaluate and verify whether then the identified needs are appropriate for All your situation We suggest to refer to the model at the collaboration process and use them to understand how to collaborate and share a common approach Across the supply chain to look at generally speaking to look at abstract data models In order to understand the relationships and dependencies between the entities There are a lot of initiatives already carried out or ongoing on this topic It is important to reuse the already Available results and not reinvent the wheel and finally to use the examples because even if The regulatory standards may soon be released They can be used to prepare and test abstract data models and the cwa in this sense provide Many open and public resources That are complete and ready to use This cwa can be very useful for it providers companies and standard bodies and policy makers So thank you for the attention. This is the link where find the cwa We'll be continuing our presentation and and the the ideas that we shared it Uh behind the the scene on on the collaboration. So if if you would like to stay online Yes, you are welcome um so I think moving forward Um, yes to the next slide Yes Yes, so as uh as it was mentioned, so I will be very very quickly just Passing by this overview on the unicef uh initiative that uh was mentioned and here This is particularly the vertical of the sustainability pledge pledge Um that it's an initiative to to to Um foster some convening uh, so to to have a uh, um a kind of a uh network of organizations um Making some commitments And uh, and there are several uh commitments already because this is something that it started In 2021 and uh, and now they are moving forward with blockchain pilots in capacity building uh, so that there are several companies that already represented Partners and the pilots and use cases And um, and there is space to submit Sustainability pledge also And um and this This traceability framework that they developed Uh was included here. I saw in your slides was included in your Desk research and our background research So they have this three-step approach with the selection of sustainability claims the evidence requirements and then the end to end value chain cover coverage, uh, and also to have some Alignment with uh different frameworks Uh So as I mentioned, there is space for uh, submitting a sustainability pledge and uh In in in the in the context of our traceability hub and the extra project Um, I'm framing here an opportunity for us to eventually Submit our sustainability pledge As a kind of a collaborative initiative Building on uh, the work that the colleagues just share it And I will be explaining this in the final slide Voila so here Um, so we propose that the extra traceability hub could submit a sustainability pledge By developing Developing a workshop agreement on chemical stress ability protocol to cause for textile supply chain So building on the work that the colleagues Presented so forming a working group and then we we submit our commitment to develop This workshop and agreement with a coalition of Project organizations So we'll be about data collection guidelines industry adoption of also through the the knowledge platform and the traceability hub working group and then also Always contributed to the DPP redness and also with the support Support in the sms And then uh, there is the safe act DPP initiative here. It's it's very it's much more Even more technical So, uh, they they have a whole initiative also on data data architecture on the on the DPP implementation And uh, it's uh, it's also something that uh, that they developed also, uh, a workshop and agreement So, uh, with with the two phases. So a phase one, uh, on requirements and standards On garment and footwear focus and then the product circular data the crossing there is scalability and and And different Steps to To comply So with that I I have done very quickly because this is very technical and then now you can have a better information In the in the web pages and in the documents The idea is that in our traceability hub we, um It it was already a planet From the beginning from the vision so that the first working group will be on chemical traceability, so the idea is to have this working group established. So we have done Some me requests and we have interest manifestation from ZDCH from the UNEP at two levels at the UNEP From ambition loop earth from Centextbel from Bureau Veritas and also for from the federation the the sports in goods And This was the beginning, but the idea is to extend our collaboration Also with those organizations and eventually if the colleagues also from the trick project They would like also to to join this working group As they mentioned we belong also to the ecosystex group In and now we have a lot Webinar lot is planned on January 2026 To present also this initiative And the idea is to start collaborating. This is a work that it's not done in In some months better to start this This this work and to submit a sustainability pledge Showing our commitment to for that advanced this work. So this was all for today And the idea also is to launch this concretely via our linkedIn page And to announce that we are starting this working group in our traceability hub with an enlarged cooperation with different organizations. I don't remember In the case of our colleagues. They this is a work that was done with 40 organizations for zero. So The idea is also to have a critical mass and in the moment that we are leaving. It's very important to have a critical mass to further advance The the the findings and also the recommendations because otherwise We we can lose time and and eventually it's better to to find consensus across A very important critical mass of organizations
