Physically traceable Better Cotton from Australia

Cotton Australia is working with Better Cotton and Australia’s cotton merchants to introduce physically traceable Better Cotton from Australia this season.

Better Cotton has traditionally been traded and traced under a mass balance system. However, due to feedback from brands and upcoming EU legislation that will impact on-product claims, Better Cotton has now established traceability for physical Better Cotton.

Mass balance will also remain available, with both physical and mass balance cotton traced using the existing Better Cotton Platform (BCP).

What does this mean for growers?

Demand for traceable cotton is growing. This presents an opportunity to expand market access for myBMP-certified cotton by meeting the demand for greater transparency and assurance about its origin.

What Will Growers Need to Do?

Australian cotton growers that choose to participate in trading physical Better Cotton for this season will need to comply with:

  • Protocol for Producers with Subcontracted Gins
  • Anti-bribery Policy for BCI Registered Ginners and BCP Suppliers

These forms were sent to myBMP certified growers and those currently going through the certification process in February.
