Industry estimates put global textile waste at 92 million tonnes a year, with less than 1% ever turned back into new clothing. That's roughly the weight of 9 million elephants, tossed out year after year.

That's a shame, because old clothes still have plenty of life left in them. The fibres inside can be recovered and spun into brand new materials.

helps make that second life possible. Through the Global Recycled Standard, developed by Textile Exchange, we verify and track recycled content as it moves through the supply chain. Think of it as a paper trail for fabric, so recycled labels actually mean what they say.

One example is Roseco SRL, which turns leftover fabric and unwanted clothing into raw material for new products. Our verification work confirms those recycled fibres are exactly what they claim to be.

Your old t-shirt could become tomorrow's fabric. That's the circular economy working as it should.

Cash is no longer king. Every day, more than 3.8 billion card transactions are processed worldwide through point-of-sale (POS) terminals, making debit and credit cards the clear payment method of choice for consumers.

But behind every swipe or tap, security matters. That’s where Payment Card Industry (PCI) Certification, established by the PCI Security Standards Council, plays a critical role in protecting cardholder data.

As a global Center of Excellence for payment systems security testing, has been conducting compliance testing for secure payment terminals since 2003, helping manufacturers mitigate risk and meet comprehensive industry standards.

So the next time you tap or swipe, you can be assured the technology behind that transaction has been rigorously tested to help keep your information secure.

The EU has updated harmonised toy safety standards under the Toy Safety Directive, adding EN 71-15:2025 and EN 71-16:2025 and replacing EN 71-4:2020 with EN 71-4:2020+A1:2025. The older EN 71-4:2020 will cease to be harmonised on 14 March 2028.

The banana you had for breakfast could have something in common with the clothes you wear.

After bananas are harvested, the plant's pseudostem is typically left as agricultural residue. Hidden inside it are fibres that can be extracted and transformed into textile materials.

And the scale is enormous. More than 135 million tonnes of bananas are produced globally each year, creating significant volumes of plant residue with potential for new uses.

Banana fibre can find its way into apparel, technical fabrics and even luxury accessories, giving material that might otherwise be discarded an entirely different life.

But when a new material finds its way onto a product label, how do you know it really is what it claims to be?

At Intertek, our experts provide qualitative and quantitative fibre analysis for emerging materials such as banana fibre, helping brands identify and verify the fibres that go into the products we wear.

From breakfast table to wardrobe.

Turns out, there's more than one way to go bananas.

Imagine scanning a product and seeing where it came from, what it's made of, who verified it and how to recycle it. That's no longer a vision. It's becoming reality.

On 20 July 2026, the European Commission launched the Digital Product Passport (DPP) Registry, a major milestone in the journey towards a more transparent, traceable and circular economy.

For years, Digital Product Passports have been discussed as the future of product transparency.

Now, the infrastructure is here.

For brands, this isn't just another compliance requirement.

It's the beginning of a future where every product tells its own story.

Intertek in partnership with Trace For Good, is helping brands build trusted Digital Product Passports by bringing together verified product, supply chain and sustainability data into one connected digital solution.

At Intertek, we're helping businesses prepare for that future through Digital Product Passport solutions that combine compliance, traceability and digital innovation, enabling brands to navigate evolving regulations with confidence.

Before inspiring the creativity of generations of children, modelling clay served a very different purpose: cleaning soot and dirt from household wallpaper during the 1930s. What began as a cleaning compound found a new purpose decades later, transforming into a toy capable of shaping not only figures, but also dreams and imagination.

Today, behind something as simple as a stick of modelling clay, there is one thing we cannot leave to chance: the safety of those who use it.

That's where Intertek works its magic. We test toys and children's products to assess their characteristics and potential risks, helping to make every playtime moment safer.

Because behind every test, there is something much greater: the peace of mind that comes from letting a child simply play.

Most people choose a ring, a necklace or a pair of earrings for their design, craftsmanship or sentimental value. Few realise that the sourcing of materials, environmental practices and worker welfare behind them can be independently assessed.

But how can customers know these commitments are being met?

That's where independent certification comes in. Sikno Jewelry has been certified by to the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) standard, an internationally recognised framework for responsible practices across the jewellery supply chain.

Through an independent assessment against the RJC standard, Intertek verified how Sikno sources its materials, manages resources, supports its workers and promotes transparency throughout its operations, helping build confidence in the journey behind every piece of jewellery.

Because every ring, necklace or pair of earrings begins its story long before it becomes part of yours.

Imagine filling a bucket with water... but there's a hole in the bottom.

You keep pouring more in, but you're still losing water.

That's what loss can look like for retail and hospitality businesses. It can come from food waste, theft, cash handling mistakes, or everyday processes that quietly eat into profits.

Every year, retailers lose billions through theft, fraud and operational errors. In the UK alone, customer theft cost retailers £2.2 billion in 2023/24, according to the British Retail Consortium.

Intertek's Loss Prevention service helps businesses identify where losses are occurring, address the causes, and protect their margins.

Less waste. Less shrinkage. More control.
