FibreTrace Technologies, a company co-founded by David Statham, an innovative cotton producer from New South Wales, Australia. The technology was applied on 15,000 bales of cotton at the Cherokee Gin and Cotton Co. and the Graves Gin Corporation in Rector, Ark., in 2023, using the luminescent pigment that is at the center of the identification process. It is the same technology that is used in U.S. bank notes and other currencies.
