How Gadjahruku brought end-to-end transparency to a complex rubber supply chain
Challenge
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requires that natural rubber placed on the EU market is deforestation-free, legally produced and traceable to the plot. Meeting that standard is hardest where material passes through many hands before it reaches a processing facility.
Gadjahruku operates across a complex supply chain, with rubber moving through multiple intermediaries between the farm and the gate. Without visibility across those steps, neither traceability nor deforestation risk could be demonstrated with confidence.
The company needed transparency from end to end: plots mapped, deforestation risk monitored, and traceability strong enough to satisfy EUDR requirements across the whole chain.
Approach
TRST01 deployed TRST01Chain, its mapping and traceability platform, to create visibility across the full length of the supply chain.
- Mapped production plots across the supply base as geolocated polygons.
- Established traceability across the intermediary steps between farm and facility.
- Put continuous deforestation-risk monitoring around the mapped plots.
- Structured the resulting records so EUDR requirements could be evidenced.
Solution
With TRST01Chain in place, Gadjahruku can see and evidence its supply chain from plot to facility.
- Plot polygon mapping across the sourcing base.
- End-to-end traceability across a complex, multi-step chain.
- Deforestation-risk monitoring on mapped plots.
- EUDR requirements evidenced with confidence.
Results
What’s next
With transparency established across the chain, Gadjahruku is positioned to extend the same traceability as EUDR enforcement approaches and volumes to Europe grow.
