Scientific cotton origin verification from farm to shelf for brands, retailers and manufacturers.
Cotton Origin Verification for Brands, Retailers, & Manufacturers
If you don't know where your cotton comes from, you're risking your supply chain, reputation, and revenue. Tougher laws and regulations require you to prove the origin of your products.
Oritain has mapped the majority of the world's cotton-producing countries to provide highly robust documentable transparency. Our innovative technology combines forensic science and statistics to detect naturally occurring elements in the cotton itself, creating a unique Origin Fingerprint. With this, you can verify origin claims at any point in your supply chain, from farm to retail shelf.
Don't risk your reputation and revenue – choose Oritain for reliable cotton origin verification.
