Recently, the Origins Brasil seal of origin for non-forest products was launched. Origins Brasil is an initiative that aims to improve transparency of the forest products supply chain, helping consumers to identify companies that value and respect forests in their practices.

At this time, the seal is focused in the Xingu region and is working with several partners including Wickbold (a bread company) and Firmenich (a cosmetic company), among others. The platform also features a quick responses (QR) code that allows buyers to immediately gain more information about the producers they are purchasing from.
