MELBOURNE – Australian authentication solutions provider Security Matters (SMX) has announced that it’s working with the Israeli Cotton Board (ICB) to trial its chemical marker technology and blockchain platform in cotton supply chains.
The pair have signed a first collaborative agreement for a project that will mark conventional and organic cotton at the farm level to assess whether these materials can be traced throughout the manufacture of garments, even to a product’s end-of-life.
Subject to its success, SMX and ICB says the technology could be adopted by cotton growers across Israel and potentially around the world.
