Achieving EUDR Compliance with End-to-End Chain of Custody

As the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) reshapes global sourcing standards, rubber tire manufacturers face increasing pressure to prove that their supply chains are deforestation-free. This requires not only visibility into sourcing but also a verifiable, end-to-end chain of custody that can withstand regulatory scrutiny. One leading tire company adopted a digital-first approach to ensure compliance while maintaining operational efficiency.

The Problem

The company relied on a complex network of rubber suppliers, often dealing with aggregated sources and limited upstream visibility. This made it difficult to trace raw materials back to their origin and validate compliance with EUDR requirements. Without a robust chain of custody, the company risked shipment delays, regulatory penalties, and potential loss of access to EU markets. Additionally, manual processes and fragmented data systems hindered their ability to generate accurate, audit-ready documentation.

Solution

To address these challenges, the company implemented a batch-level traceability system powered by TraceX.

  • Each raw material rubber batch was linked to farm-level geolocation data provided by suppliers, ensuring origin transparency.  
  • Upon receipt, compliance was validated through deforestation risk assessments before generating GRN-linked batch records. 
  • Throughout processing, strict batch traceability and segregation were maintained, enabling full visibility across every stage of production.  
  • Finished goods could be accurately mapped back to their originating, compliant raw material batches.  
  • For every outbound shipment, a comprehensive Due Diligence Statement was generated, referencing the complete traceability chain and ensuring alignment with EUDR requirements.

The company is now better positioned to scale its operations while maintaining compliance with evolving global regulations.
