The Indian Rubber Board has launched a groundbreaking initiative to revolutionise rubber supply chains in India. Through the use of new technology, training, and systems, this solution aims to establish a transparent and traceable rubber supply chain across India, ensuring that rubber and rubber products can be traced back to their origin. This initiative will comply with EUDR regulations and pave the way for meeting any similar future regulations worldwide. It strongly aligns with the Government of India and the Rubber Board's commitment to promote sustainability throughout the Indian Rubber Industry.
