Eurofins Sustainability Services, a full-service provider for retailers, brands, and manufacturers of consumer products, has grown its extensive service offering to include Origin ID, a leading cotton origin verification service. With reliable analytical techniques and superior customer support, this service provides information about the origin of cotton in products and promotes supply chain transparency across the apparel, home textiles, and personal hygiene industries.
Cotton traceability has become a requirement in many regions making origin verification through testing a necessity to check compliance against traceability regulations. Isotopic testing has emerged as a widely used method for businesses to strengthen supply chain traceability and is accepted by authorities as valuable indication of cotton origin.
Eurofins Sustainability Services' Origin ID leverages the isotope testing expertise that is rooted in the Eurofins network's history. Eurofins Scientific was founded in 1987 to market the SNIF-NMR technology, a patented analytical method utilising isotopes testing, used to verify the origin and purity of several types of food and beverages. Building on this unique technology, the Eurofins network expanded over the years in several phases by adding a very large range of bioanalytical technologies to serve a broader range of industries.
Origin ID offers much sought-after advantages:
- Fifteen working day TAT with no additional fees
- Dynamic database with reference samples from all major cotton growing regions, continuously updated
- Ad hoc and scaled volume testing
- Stable Isotope Ratio Analysis (SIRA) used in every assessment for scientifically and statistically validated results
- Testing delivered through a global network of laboratories
- End-to-end solution that covers database, sample collection, testing, and reporting
Important notes:
- Results are assessed against a proprietary reference library database. A consistent result means the sample corresponds with the reference library data of the target country, but this does not exclude the possibility of consistency against another target country.
- Reports represent the results of interpretation of testing data for the referenced sample. Eurofins accepts no liability related to the report or results and interpretations contained therein, its applicability for other non-tested samples of the same batch or for how these are used by the client or any third-party.
Given the challenges many industries and brands are experiencing in relation to cotton origin verification testing, Eurofins Sustainability Services is hosting a webinar on 14 August to introduce this innovative service offering.
