CertainT Verified Recycled PET Bedding Drives
Sustainability for Global E-commerce
Applied DNA Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: APDN) , a leader in
PCR-based DNA manufacturing for product authenticity and
traceability solutions, and GHCL announced today the launch of
“REKOOP” on Amazon.com. The “REKOOP” range of bedding products is
meant for the ecologically conscious consumer who is making
purchase decisions to support the environment and is supportive of
initiatives that help reduce the carbon footprint.
Consumers are assured of REKOOP’s ecologically conscious
practices through the molecular tagging of the recycled fiber that
comprise its product line through Applied DNA’s, CertainT platform
that secures provenance and complete traceability across the supply
chain.
Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL), India’s largest private sector
company, is GHCL’s fiber-manufacturing partner and supplies the
truly ecofriendly recycled polyester fiber - Recon® Green Gold,
which is used in REKOOP bedding.
REKOOP bedding is made by blending cotton with polyester fiber
obtained from recycling post-consumer PET bottles. The concept is
sustainable, durable and free of any hazardous chemicals. There are
36 PET bottles used for the production of every 250 TC (thread
count) REKOOP sheet set (60% cotton 40% recycled PET). This helps
in the reduction of landfill space, crude oil consumption and
carbon emissions in the atmosphere.
“Powered by our CertainT platform, REKOOP brings to the mass
consumer market the ability for individuals to express their
commitment to sustainable textile practices via one of the world’s
leading retailers. As sustainability in manufacturing becomes
increasingly relevant to today’s consumer, our CertainT platform
can be a hallmark for sustainable production practices for
consumers and manufacturers alike,” stated MeiLin Wan, vice
president, textiles, Applied DNA Sciences.
