Support sustainable sourcing with scientific origin verification for timber products from tree to table.
Origin verification for timber
As deforestation rises across the globe, and regulations are introduced to address this, the need for credible timber origin verification has never been greater.
Oritain's forensic science verifies the origin of timber products at any stage of the supply chain. We partner with World Forest ID to uphold the highest standards in responsible sourcing and environmental stewardship.
Authenticate your timber products and meet regulatory requirements with Oritain.
Timber sustainability starts at source
Timber supply chains are under the spotlight as unethical practices threaten the world's natural resources.
At least 15-30% of the global timber trade is illegal, contributing to large-scale deforestation and up to US $152 billion in lost revenue each year, according to the World Bank and INTERPOL
Environmental legislation, led by the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), increases the pressure on brands and suppliers to prove the origin of their timber products.
Scientific origin verification provides the most precise and reliable method for substantiating product authenticity and compliance.
Timber traceability drives compliance
Oritain’s forensic testing verifies the origin and species of timber products at any stage of the supply chain, from plantation to retailer.
By verifying products down to the most granular level, we help businesses comply with plot level traceability requirements under the EUDR.
Our partnership with World Forest ID provides comprehensive mapping of the world's most important forestry locations.
We are the exclusive provider of timber testing services for the UK government, reflecting the credibility and power of our solution.
Oritain provides trusted product origin verification that timber industry businesses can rely on.
“By fusing Oritain’s proven power to drive global supply chain change with World Forest ID’s non-profit approach to science, we create a new kind of transparency, one capable of shifting the choices of companies and investors, the expectations of regulators, and, we hope, the fate of the world’s forests.”
