CertainT Tag-Test-Track System at the Synthetic
Yarn Fiber Association on October 27, 2017 in Charlotte, North
Carolina
Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (“Applied DNA,” “the Company,”
NASDAQ:APDN), has signed a new CertainT® trademark license
agreement with Palmetto Synthetics (“Palmetto”), a leader in the
production of high quality, specialty synthetic fiber. Palmetto’s
mission “is to be the leading global innovator and provider of
specialty synthetic fiber while fostering a culture of integrity,
dignity and respect for their team members, business partner,
community and environment.” The newly signed CertainT trademark
licensing agreement enables Palmetto to reach their goals of
bringing transparency to their own manufacturing processes, and
also to provide their customers with traceability and trust in the
original tagged synthetic fiber.
Under the CertainT® platform, customers are provided with
secure, forensic guidelines for monitoring the flow of product
through the manufacturing process via molecular tagging, testing
and tracking. Routine inspection and authentication is transparent
and certified throughout the process via an integrated database and
portal. CertainT also helps customers with meeting their
sustainability goals by 2020. Products that use recycled, renewable
or re-usable materials that have an eco-conscious composition can
benefit from molecular tagging.
David Poston, President of Palmetto Synthetics stated “that to
continue to be an industry leader, one must embrace new technology
in paving the way to commit to customer excellence through the
promotion of state of the art technology. As indicated in the past,
we have our eye on the future and we are excited about CertainT’s
platform and look forward to total implementation.”
“The CertainT system physically traces the raw material,
ingredient, component and product, so you can claim that you are
performing full traceability from source to shelf. That’s the
difference between most standards that certify products that use a
paper trail, or a mass-balance approach, where certified raw
materials, such as recycled PET can be easily mixed with
non-certified ones. CertainT can help assure product integrity
and traceability by ensuring the product itself,” stated Dr. James
A. Hayward, President and CEO of Applied DNA Sciences.
Applied DNA Sciences and Palmetto Synthetics will be
co-presenting with Techmer PM at the Synthetic Yarn Fibers
Association Fall Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina in October
27, 2017.
