Verify your cotton origin at every stage
Oritain’s market-leading auditing methodology combines forensic science and data to detect naturally occurring elements in a product or raw material. Soil composition, climate, altitude, precipitation, and other environmental factors all contribute to a unique set of characteristics in every product – what we call an Origin Fingerprint.
We test throughout the supply chain to identify issues before a product is finalized, preventing you from losing sales on fully manufactured goods.
