USDA agrees deal on cotton identification technique
18/01/2016
Under the agreement it will use its proprietary identification methods to identify cotton species and the origin of cotton fibres. With USDA, it will trademark this technique as ‘fiberTyping’. This will assist the cotton industry in protecting quality, traceability and economic investments,” the technology provider said in a statement. “For example, enhanced fiberTyping will be able to differentiate cotton based on country of origin and could ensure that cotton from countries known to use child labour would not be incorporated into tested products.”
