Ganesha Ecosphere Ties Up Applied DNA For CertainT Platform

The Agreement enables Ganesha to introduce and apply CertainT-verified rPET to provide assurance for the raw material with textile and apparel customers. Ganesha Ecosphere has signed a mutual collaboration agreement with Applied DNA Sciences (APDN). Under the terms of the deal, Ganesha will deploy the CertainT platform, Applied DNA's traceability system, to tag an initial pilot production of recycled polyester (rPET) at Ganesha's facilities in India and conduct confirmatory samples testing at Applied DNA's laboratories in India and the US. The collaboration between the two companies will provide brands and textile manufacturers with a trusted solution to support their sustainability goals for rPET and confirm raw material authenticity at all stages of the textile value chain. "Traceability has now added more authenticity and credibility to the entire textile supply chain and is becoming an integral part of the recycling process. With Applied DNA and CertainT, our customers can now trust in the original tagged synthetic fibre and verify product-related sustainability claims," stated B.P. Sultania, Joint President of Ganesha Ecosphere. Ganesha will also employ Applied DNA's recently introduced SigNature T-100 tracer system that enables rPET source material to be quantified in polyester blends by the CertainT platform. SigNature T-100 is a proprietary molecular-based tracer system used to identify, analyse, and verify rPET, polypropylene, acrylic, and potentially other man-made materials for claims of both identification and quantification of the raw material tagged and subsequently spun into yarn for various textile products.
