The importance of cotton traceability and cotton origin verification
In today’s global textile industry, cotton traceability has become a high priority. Both consumers and regulators are demanding greater transparency, and brands risk reputational damage and non-compliance if they cannot prove the origin of their cotton.
Origin ID Cotton Origin Verification powered by unparalleled expertise and customer support
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 verifies 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 reliable method for businesses to strengthen supply chain traceability and is accepted by authorities as valuable control 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 Cotton Origin Verification offers much sought-after advantages:
- Fifteen working day turnaround times and no additional fees
- Dynamic and up-to-date database with reference samples from all major cotton growing regions and a strategy to continue updating
- Ad hoc and scaled volume testing
- Stable Isotope Ratio Analysis (SIRA) used in every assessment for scientifically verified results
- Testing delivered through global laboratories

Important notes:
- Results are assessed against a proprietary reference library database. A consistent result means 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, or for how these are used by the client or any third-party.
