Beyond Green: How BX Merchandise’s Aware™ Technology Sets a New Standard

In today’s world, sustainability is not just a nice-to-have — it is a must. Across the UK and beyond, businesses are rightly asking for more than vague eco-friendly claims. They want clarity. They want proof. And with greenwashing still muddying the waters, it is no longer enough to say a product is made from recycled materials — we need to show the impact, clearly and credibly.

That is why we are proud to introduce the BX Merchandise Aware™ range — a collection of promotional products that does not just talk about sustainability, but backs it up with traceable, transparent data. From the raw fibre to the finished item in your hands, every step is accounted for.

Transparency You Can Trust: ESG, Ethical Sourcing, and Real Accountability

For modern businesses, tracking and demonstrating progress against Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors is crucial, not just for reputation, but for attracting investment and meeting tender requirements. The Aware™ range provides a powerful, verifiable solution to these complex challenges, directly supporting your firm’s overall ESG strategy.

What makes the BX Merchandise Aware™ range unique is its disruptive physical tracer and blockchain technology. This system tackles the ambiguity of long and complex supply chains head-on, delivering complete transparency, from an environmental, social, and product certification perspective.

Here is how the transparency is guaranteed:

Environmental (E): Tracer Technology & Digital Twin – Tiny ceramic particles — known as Aware™ tracers — are added to recycled materials like shredded plastic bottles or cotton waste before they are spun into yarn. These particles act as a unique fingerprint, creating a ‘digital twin’ that forms the foundation for reliable environmental reporting.

Governance (G): Certified Claims You Can Rely On – The tracer links directly to third-party certifications such as the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and OEKO-TEX. This means you can be confident that the materials used genuinely meet the standards claimed — helping you steer clear of greenwashing and strengthen your governance credentials.

Social (S): Ethical Supply Chain Visibility – The blockchain platform does not stop at materials. It tracks every stage of the product’s journey, including compliance with ethical sourcing standards like amfori BSCI and Sedex. This gives you credible evidence of responsible practices and fair treatment of people throughout the supply chain.

End-to-End Verification – Every product comes with a QR code, allowing you to trace its origin and verify its sustainability claims against secure blockchain data.

This level of traceability turns sustainability from a hopeful claim into a verified fact — aligning perfectly with the UK’s Green Claims Code, which requires environmental claims to be honest, accurate, and backed by evidence.

Quantifiable Impact: Verified Product Footprint and Global ESG Compliance

The textile industry’s environmental footprint — especially its water usage — is a major global concern. But for businesses, the challenge is not just reducing impact; it is about meeting legal requirements under frameworks like the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD).

BX Merchandise Aware™ range helps you do both. It does not just cut down on environmental harm — it quantifies it, giving you product-specific data that is ready for audit and disclosure.

The AWARE™ tracer technology is essential because it links the physical material to a validated environmental data set. This digital-physical connection provides the granular, high-quality data necessary for robust reporting and risk mitigation, directly supporting your firm’s ESG legal compliance and due diligence.

Here is how it works:

Verified Water Impact (E-Pillar Due Diligence): The tracer confirms exactly how much recycled material is used, which forms the basis for verified water savings. This data is essential for meeting environmental due diligence requirements and making credible public disclosures.

CO2 and Material Savings (E-Pillar Disclosure): Beyond water, the system also tracks reductions in carbon emissions and waste diverted from landfill. These figures give you the KPIs needed for reliable ESG reporting and help you integrate product-level data into your wider sustainability strategy.

Regreener Carbon Compensation (Scope 3 Reporting): We know that delivery still carries an environmental cost. That is why every shipment of Aware™ merchandise is offset through Regreener, supporting certified climate projects. This helps you account for Scope 3 emissions and demonstrate responsible logistics — a key area in ESG compliance.

By choosing Aware™, you are not just buying a product — you are investing in a system that turns sustainability into something tangible, traceable, and legally defensible. You are helping conserve vital resources and reduce risk, while also supporting communities: 2% of proceeds from each Impact product go to Water.org, helping provide access to safe water where it’s needed most.
