Manufacturer profile
To start, it's important to fill out your profile. This will help improve the usability of the platform for you, the brands, recyclers, and traders. We use the information provided to enhance overall data accuracy.
The data in the profile does not have to be completely accurate; you are welcome to use estimates and average numbers to give us a general idea of your facilities. However, we also ask that you do not enter random data into the profile, as our market overviews will not provide an adequate understanding of the situation. It should not take more than 15 minutes for a facility manager to complete the full profile.
To fill out your profile, please follow these easy steps:
- Select the facility that you want to update from the top right bar.
- Click on PROFILE in the main menu on the left.
- The profile comprises 6 tabs - FACILITY, GENERAL, PRODUCTION, WASTE, OTHER and PARTNERS.
Make sure that the information provided in the FACILITY tab is accurate, and add new team members if needed.
New users can only be added by the organisation managers. The facility manager can access the information of that particular facility he/she has been invited to.
Going through the profile, under each new question click the + ADD... button or the + sign to add new fields and build the list of entries relevant to your facility. Also, note that some questions that include a percentage breakdown of the total percentages need to add up to 100%, the system does not otherwise enable saving the results.
Next, in the PRODUCTION tab, we gather information about your activities—what you produce, how much, and the materials used.
It’s essential to first select your activity, as all subsequent questions will adjust based on your selection. This choice will also customise the content of some dropdown menus on the platform to better suit your needs.
NB! Please register different facilities for differing types of production.
The options here are:
- yarn production/spinning mill
- fabric mill (woven)
- garment/apparel manufacturing (CMT/RMG)
- tannery, leather production
- manufacturing of other ready-made products
- wet processes (dyeing/washing)
- printing, embroidery
- fabric mill (knit)
- home textiles
- In the WASTE tab, we gather information about your waste volumes and disposal methods. As before, some questions will be directly related to the type of activity you selected in the PRODUCTION tab.
Next, in the OTHER tab, you can connect with the brands you work with and add any certificates you hold. Selecting a brand you produce for will make your facility visible to that brand.
On this page, you’ll also see a Reporting to Brand column, indicating that the brand has viewed your facility and added your facility's information to its interface and reporting.
- Look for new partners that have joined the RR network in the PARTNERS tab and nominate recyclers and waste handlers to see your inventory. Additionally, add partners you are currently working with outside of our platform to keep the trace of waste!
- Remember to click SUBMIT at the bottom of every page to save your changes.
