Hur kan globala standarder skapa affärsnytta och förenkla regelefterlevnad? Tidningen Näringslivet intervjuade Jonatan Tullberg, GS1 Sweden och Anna Berne, Filippa K. Här delar de sina erfarenheter kring implementering av standardiserad spårbarhetsdata som kan hjälpa företag att; 🔸 effektivisera värdekedjan, 🔹 sänka operationella kostnader, 🔸 hitta nya affärsmodeller … och förbättra produkter genom datadrivna beslut för kvalitet och hållbarhet. Med ett gemensamt digitalt affärsspråk för datautbyte blir det möjligt att effektivisera både regelrapportering och den egna verksamheten.

🐑 The Fiber Traceability Initiative Featured in the Swedish Institute’s New Toolbox! Svenska institutet is highlighting The Fiber Traceability Initiative in its new toolbox, Redefining Waste, which showcases Swedish innovations for a more sustainable textile industry. As part of the initiative, GS1 Sweden, Axfoundation, Filippa K, and VirtualRouteZ have developed a beta version of a traceability solution in which a QR code with GS1 standards provides insight into a garment’s entire journey - from raw material to finished product. This solution helps customers make more sustainable choices and assists brands in complying with upcoming EU regulations. The Redefining Waste materials are primarily used by Swedish embassies and consulates but are also available to other organizations and individuals working to promote Sweden internationally.

What if broccoli harvest doubled - without growing more? 🥦 Today, only a fraction of Sweden’s broccoli plants are used in food production. The leaves, which make up nearly half of the plant’s biomass, are often left in the fields - despite being nutritious and completely edible. At the same time, Swedish food production faces several challenges: ➡️ Preparedness and Supply – Increasing the use of Swedish raw materials can reduce dependence on imports and strengthen domestic food security. ➡️ Resource Efficiency – By utilizing more of the plant instead of just the florets, the harvest can be doubled without requiring additional farmland, fertilizer, with a minimal climate impact. ➡️ Food Waste and Sustainability – Transforming what was once lost into a valuable food resource benefits both the environment. At Torsåker Farm, methods are currently being developed to harness Swedish broccoli leaves and integrate them into the food supply chain. Through testing, product development, and collaboration with partners, a scalable model is being created to increase the use of these nutrient-rich leaves. 🤝 Grönsakshallen Sorunda Axfood Dagab GRÖNSAKSMÄSTARNA NORDIC AB SLU - Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet RISE Research Institutes of Sweden Martin & Servera Steglinge AB #SustainableFood #SwedishFoodProduction #ResourceEfficiency #FoodLoss #FutureFood #ActToInpsire #InspireToAct

What if Nordic wool was fully utilized instead of discarded? 🧶🐑 Today, more than half of the wool produced in Sweden, Finland, and Denmark goes to waste. The Nordic Wool Initiative is a new collaboration working to strengthen the Nordic wool value chain and increase the use of wool as a valuable raw material. By bringing together industry stakeholders, the initiative fosters cooperation, knowledge-sharing, and best practices to support more sustainable and efficient wool production. Funded by Nordic Innovation, this project aims to unlock the full potential of Nordic wool. 🤝 Swedish textile manufacturing, NORION, Insutex, Dansk Mode & Textil, Holma-Hälsingland, Saimaa Wool, NF&TA, and Sirkull.
