Sustainability is top of mind for consumers, industry and governments alike. BioTags™ are a natural solution that utilize nature’s code to deliver unprecedented safety, scalability and ESG guarantees.
Traditional barcodes may work for consumer packaged goods, but they won’t provide reliable traceability for individual seeds, grains or ingredients - especially when products are mixed together. BioTags™ offer scalable, on-product traceability that can be relied on as products change hands throughout the supply chain.
Products need to be verified quickly so they can continue moving along their supply chains. BioTags™ can verify a product’s authenticity in 15-60 minutes either in a lab or on-site, even when present in trace amounts.
Fraud & IP Protection
Protect your innovative product lines with BioTags™. Natural, on-product fingerprinting provides unprecedented product authentication and insight into the details that enable true cost recovery. BioTags™ can definitively identify unlicensed usage and, in the event of adulteration, provide a bread-crumb trail to determine the source of any supply chain breach.
Certification & ESG Guarantees
Verify the guarantees you are charging a premium for with BioTags™. These microscopic fingerprints provide true product provenance and indisputable evidence that the product you are selling or purchasing is certified.
Examples include a range of ESG guarantees, country-of-origin claims, etc.
Food Safety
Reduce the scope of a recall and resolve it in record time with BioTags™. Applying our microscopic fingerprints to high-risk products allows for rapid collection of the supply chain data you need to make informed and timely decisions.
Quality Control
