Haelixa: The DNA marker for products | Finalist Green Business Award 2023

Today, around 80 percent of a product’s environmental impact occurs upstream in the supply chain. Haelixa’s chemical solution makes the origin of each product clearly identifiable. Raw materials are provided with a DNA marker that makes it possible to trace them along the entire supply chain.

The DNA marker for raw materials by Haelixa - Finalist Green Business Award 2023

About the solution

Haelixa offers a physical traceability solution that uses DNA to mark products directly at their point of origin. Thanks to this marking, products can be checked for the presence of DNA along the entire value chain. This provides reliable proof of origin, quality and authenticity and minimizes potential risks.

About the environmental benefits of the solution

Life cycle assessments of textiles show that the greatest environmental impact occurs in the upstream processes. A large proportion of CO₂ emissions are caused by raw material production and high water consumption. Our solution therefore focuses on ensuring the traceability of raw materials. This enables companies to check and prove that the materials used – including their ecological footprint – correspond to the specifications.
