SUSTAINABLE FIBRE STANDARD (SFS)

Strengthening Integrity in Fibre Supply Chains

The Sustainable Fibre Standard (SFS) is a voluntary framework developed by Circular Stitches to strengthen transparency, traceability, and accountability across textile fibre supply chains.

Rather than creating another sustainability label, SFS provides the infrastructure that supports credible sustainability claims.

WHY SFS EXISTS

Building Confidence Through Better Systems

The textile industry has made significant progress toward sustainability, yet important structural gaps remain.

Fragmented supply chains, inconsistent traceability, and disconnected certification systems continue to limit transparency and trust.

SFS was created to strengthen the integrity of these systems through structured verification and connected data.

WHAT SFS COVERS

A Connected Framework for Sustainable Fibres

SFS integrates multiple dimensions of sustainability into a single framework.

Fibre Traceability

Environmental Performance

Climate Accounting

Chemical Management

Social Safeguards

Circular Material Integrity

Governance and Continuous Improvement

HOW SFS WORKS

Connecting Every Stage of the Supply Chain

SFS supports a connected chain of custody from fibre production to finished products through structured documentation, digital verification, and consistent traceability.

The framework is designed to support:

Farmers

Recyclers

Manufacturers

Wet Processing Units

Garment Manufacturers

Brands and Retailers

GLOBAL ALIGNMENT

Built to Complement Existing Frameworks

SFS is developed with consideration for internationally recognized approaches to environmental management, chain of custody, responsible standard setting, climate reporting, and due diligence.

Its purpose is to strengthen existing systems, not replace them.

DEVELOPMENT & GOVERNANCE

Developed Through Collaboration

The Sustainable Fibre Standard is being developed through pilot participation, technical framework development, governance oversight, and stakeholder engagement.
