Retraced, a platform for supply chain transparency and compliance, has entered a strategic partnership with r-pac, a branded packaging and supply chain technologies company.
This collaboration allows them to combine their products for operational accuracy and regulatory compliance by merging Retraced’s deep supply chain data with r-pac’s ability to uniquely identify and track individual products so that brands can address critical regulatory requirements with confidence. This means brands can validate their supply chain processes, avoid regulatory bottlenecks, and deliver precise information about product origin, sustainability metrics, and compliance status to stakeholders and customers.
The combined data can be displayed on product labels and tags. Moose Knuckles Pilots Retraced and r-pac Partnership The Canadian premium outerwear brand Moose Knuckles is among the first to pilot this integrated solution.
Key regulations include the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) in the United States, the European Union’s upcoming Digital Product Passport (DPP), and France’s Anti-Waste Legislation (AGEC).
Lukas Pünder, CEO and Co-Founder of Retraced, commented: “This partnership is about more than technology—it’s about creating trust and delivering value across the supply chain. Together with r-pac, we’re addressing the fashion industry’s need for transparency from raw materials to finished products.
“This collaboration is a win for all stakeholders. For suppliers, it streamlines data sharing and builds trust through transparency. For brands, it delivers better supply chain control and compliance. For consumers, it ensures product authenticity and sustainability at the individual item level. Operationally, the solution guarantees that brands receive the products they ordered, validated for packing accuracy, trade compliance, and social compliance. And for consumers, it provides complete transparency, ensuring confidence in the products they choose.”
