Scottish circular apparel hub used Avery Dennison's embedded labels to achieve wide operational benefits. 18th August 2026 Innovation in Textiles North Lanarkshire, Scotland Avery Dennison has worked with ACS Clothing to explore how real-time visibility enhanced operational efficiency and supported scalable management of high-volume garment flows. ACS Clothing is one of Europe's largest circular apparel hubs, processing 45,000 items weekly. Based in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, the business combines advanced technologies with circular economy principles to drive expansion and give new life to unwanted clothing. It needed real-time visibility across its complex garment lifecycle management processes, including resale, rental, refurbishment, and repair. The apparel industry is facing major market shifts that demand digital solutions. The upcoming EU ban on destroying unsold goods and the rapid growth of the second-hand market - projected to reach $367 billion by 2029 - are driving a surge in garment volume. To manage this influx and reduce costs, circularity hubs like ACS are working towards digital infrastructure. Without it, data barriers create inefficiencies, administrative burden and limited ability to identify and track garments at scale. ACS therefore teamed with Avery Dennison for a pioneering pilot project at the Glasgow, UK hub which ran for a month, exploring how RFID could meet its capacity and traceability requirements. The initiative began by strategically embedding 500 selected garments with unique, durable Avery Dennison RFID labels, giving each item a distinct digital identity. As each RFID tagged garment progressed through its journey, its status was tracked at key stages - 'Checking In', 'Wash and Dry', 'Repair', 'Stock' and 'Sold. ACS operatives managed the process using Avery Dennison RFID mini tablets, which enabled simple, swift scans. This real-time data was seamlessly captured and centralized on Avery Dennison's atma.io connected product cloud, providing unprecedented visibility into the operational flow. This integrated solution leveraging embedded RFID technology is a game changer, unlocking crucial operational efficiencies and delivering visibility and traceability across an item's life, from intake and refurbishment to resale and rental. It enables real-time monitoring of garment location, condition and treatment history across all operational touchpoints, fundamentally streamlining sorting, grading and refurbishment processes. For ACS, the automated tracking greatly reduced the need for manual input and cut down errors during scanning at vital stages like Check-In and Dispatch. This achieved significant time and labour savings through rapid, non-contact scanning, all while supporting the management of large garment volumes. With embedded RFID labels, the system cut garment identification and check-in time by 90%, also capturing detailed information such as timestamps, processing status, repair histor, and final destination tracking. This real-time visibility enhanced operational efficiency and supported scalable management of high-volume garment flows. Analysis of this robust data set offered valuable insights into garment lifecycle management, including flow-through rates, average lifecycle duration and repair frequency, to optimise durability. This intelligence allowed for smarter resource allocation and dynamic, data-driven decisions via live dashboards, which in turn helped to reduce garment loss and ensure stronger compliance with service level agreements (SLAs). Beyond immediate operational benefits, the RFID system helped ACS prepare for future legislation, including the planned EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirements. "This pilot partnering with Avery Dennison is a major leap in our journey towards complete circular transparency," says ACS CEO Andrew Rough. "For the first time, we can tell the full story of a garment's life, where it's been, how it's been cared for and how it's contributing to a more sustainable future. Embedding RFID tags delivered a 90% saving on the time needed to identify and associate garments at check-in."

FTAI Aviation has emerged as a standout performer in the industrials sector, which has underperformed the broader market over the past six months. The company specialises in selling, leasing, maintaining, and repairing aircraft engines, with a focus on the CFM56 engine that powers Boeing and Airbus planes. FTAI demonstrated exceptional growth with revenue increasing 50.5% annually over the past two years, significantly outpacing competitors. Earnings per share grew by 35.1% annually during the same period. In contrast, Ball and Avery Dennison face challenges. Ball's annual sales growth of 2.3% over five years lagged peers, whilst Avery Dennison's projected sales growth of just 2.4% for the next twelve months suggests sluggish demand ahead.
Avery Dennison introduces "ADvantage" Portfolio. Wednesday, August 12, 2026 [Painesville, Ohio] Avery Dennison Performance Tapes North America today introduced its Sustainable ADvantage portfolio. This comprehensive range of pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape solutions is designed to help manufacturers improve the environmental impact of tapes used in manufactured parts and end-use products. Developed as part of the Avery Dennison commitment to building toward regeneration and advancing the circular economy, the Sustainable ADvantage tapes portfolio enables manufacturers to make more sustainable material choices without compromising on bonding performance, durability or production efficiency. The portfolio, designed to evolve with future additions, features products that enable one or more of the following: - Reduced material usage through efficient product design - Responsibly sourced materials, including Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified paper liners - Improved recyclability, reuse or compostability where applicable - Increased use of recycled and renewable content - Additional methods that improve environmental performance across the product lifecycle "Our Sustainable ADvantage portfolio reflects the Avery Dennison commitment to helping manufacturers achieve their sustainability goals while continuing to deliver the performance they expect from our industrial tape solutions," said Deanne Lewis, product manager, Avery Dennison Performance Tapes North America. "By combining innovative adhesive technologies with responsible material choices, we're enabling manufacturers to make meaningful progress toward reducing environmental impact throughout their supply chains." The first edition of the Sustainable ADvantage tapes portfolio features transfer tapes and double-coated constructions that provide methods improving environmental performance across the product lifecycle. The products are built on three cost-effective, solvent-free acrylic adhesive technologies: - Emulsion acrylic - Pure emulsion acrylic - UV acrylic adhesives Each technology is engineered to meet specific manufacturing and application requirements while offering lower volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions than comparable products using alternative adhesive technologies. The Sustainable ADvantage portfolio represents a key milestone in the broader Avery Dennison sustainability strategy. By developing products with sustainability considerations built into material selection, construction, and end-of-life potential, the company continues to advance its goal of making 100 percent of its products recyclable by 2030.
