There is a well-known group among professionals in the sector, responsible for verifying the certifications and the adequacy of the standards necessary for the production of the materials essential to the supply chain.
This group establishes precise limitations on the purchase of raw materials and, after careful checks, labels the suppliers on its official portal with a red or green sticker, based on compliance with the established requirements: a green sticker guarantees the accreditation of the supplier.
In theory, by respecting these directives, no problems should arise. But what happens if, after a few months, a previously “green” supplier changes status to “red”?
If one of the approved names changes status, we can no longer use or sell the products made with that raw material.
This means that the products intended for stock service risk remaining stationary, unusable, for an indefinite period, drastically reducing our sales capacity for that service, with negative impacts on the entire system.
This is not just a controversy: it is a situation that further aggravates the crisis that the textile district is already facing.
Thinking of practical solutions seems complex, because if the block comes “from above”, we are all forced to respect it, regardless of the consequences and our will.
What if there was a collective reaction? What if all those who suffer these limitations – which seem to change depending on the wind – decided to say enough?
If spinning mills, wool mills and every reality involved were to unite in this protest, could we really do something?
