The project marks first time #blockchain technology has been applied to a #masstimber project. Another unique feature of the collaboration Norfolk Southern and Clemson University is its use of first-of-its-kind blockchain technology. Chainparency's GoTrace platform is being used to track the #timber as it moves through the supply chain starting with its harvest at Brosnan Forest then to Collum's Lumber sawmill in Allendale, S.C. and SmartLam North America™ in Dothan, Ala. for processing before finally arriving in Clemson, S.C.

🌍 EU Regulations & Timber Transparency! 🌍 According to Interpol, as much as 30% of the entire global trade in timber may come from illegal sources. Illicit timber is the world’s most profitable natural resource crime, worth as much as USD 150 billion each year. This article's latest insights reveals how blockchain and scientific tracking are helping companies verify timber origins, combat illegal logging, and ensure sustainable sourcing. As new EU regulations on supply chain transparency take effect, the forestry sector is turning to cutting-edge tech to meet compliance. This shift in regulation pushes the industry toward greater environmental accountability and transparency. 🔗 Read more https://lnkd.in/efdydwE4 #EUSupplyChain #TimberTracking #Sustainability #Blockchain
