Pakistan debuts first traceable leather jacket
WWF-Pakistan has presented what it says is the country’s first fully traceable leather jacket, created through the SMEP Programme’s work on digital transparency.
The prototype was shown during a workshop on digital traceability and the EU Deforestation Regulation, where participants saw how the tool records each stage in a product’s path from raw material to final article.
The pilot system allows users to review sourcing information, processing steps, production practices, and alignment with developing international rules, including the requirements set out in EUDR.
WWF-Pakistan said the aim is to offer manufacturers, exporters, and supply chain partners a practical route to more transparent operations.
According to the organisation, the tool is intended to support the sector as buyers increase their expectations around verifiable data and responsible production.
