EU Deforestation Regulation compliance
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) prohibits products sourced from deforested land from being traded in the European Union.
No compliance means no market access. Knowing the true origin of the raw materials you use is essential.
Proactive compliance is the best way for businesses to avoid costly penalties and reputational damage.
Leather, coffee & timber in the spotlight
Many commodities are covered by deforestation legislation. Businesses in the leather, timber, cattle, and coffee sectors (among others) are now in the spotlight.
Leading fashion houses risk using hides from cattle raised on deforested land for their leather products.
At least 15-30% of the global timber trade is illegal, according to the World Bank and INTERPOL.
As regulatory enforcement tightens, businesses in these sectors will find their operations more scrutinized than ever.
Scientifically geolocate your raw materials
Geolocation of raw materials is a cornerstone of compliance. Accuracy is paramount.
Oritain’s origin verification methodology can be applied across a range of geographic scales, and in some cases, can verify product origin to individual tracts of land.
We partner with World Forest ID (WFID) to scientifically verify the origin of timber, and are the sole provider of timber testing services for the UK government.
