Sustainable Apparel Coalition PCR Guidance Finalized

The SAC PCR Guidance has been finalized, with substantial revision, thanks in large part to the nearly 100 comments of interested parties.

All the comments of the interested parties have been addressed in a joint process between the Sustainable Apparel Coalition Metrics Working Group and IERE as the Program Operator.

The SAC is now entering its pilot phase, which is expected to last into 2014, after which the guidance will be revised based on the experience of the pilot program.
