Traceable textile trade, verified downstream outcomes
Bale Index is a shared register for the second-hand textile trade. Exporters, importers, regulators and recovery partners log consignments, follow them to markets like Ghana and link evidence of what actually happened downstream: reuse, repair, recycling or residual. Verified outcomes, on the record.

Live Bale Labs
What’s actually in the bale
Live Bale Labs puts eyes on the bale itself: standardised sampling and inspection of quality, composition and recovery outcomes, written up as evidence. So when a commercial, regulatory or recovery call has to be made, it rests on what was observed, not what was assumed.
- InspectStandardised sampling and a visual check open the evidence record.
- AssessQuality, composition, condition and any contamination indicators, reviewed and noted.
- VerifyApproved evidence linked to the consignment and its chain of custody.
- InformFindings turned into practical recovery, market and policy insight.
