Agroisolab analysed a large number of disposable wooden cutlery on behalf of the WWF. The results were surprising. The majority of the disposable cutlery showed typical stable isotopic signatures for an origin from Russia: In Baumärkten und Einmalbestecken: Russland schmuggelt illegales Holz nach Deutschland – und verdient damit Milliarden - FOCUS online
This underlines how isotopic methods can be used as a powerful tool to trace the declared origin of wood-based products – especially in light of increasing concerns around illegal logging and mislabelled timber.

Agroisolab has terminated the cooperation contract with Agroisolab UK
Agroisolab UK Ltd. was an independent sales organisation in UK for us allowed to use our protected brand name “Agroisolab”. As Agroisolab UK Ltd. did not have the capability to measure stable isotopes, all measurements were carried out by Agroisolab GmbH in our accredited laboratory in Jülich, Germany.
Any UK customer can now use our service directly.

Our groundbreaking work on the development of a database on the origin of European wood has now been published: “A framework for tracing timber following the Ukraine invasion”
In this groundbreaking study, Agroisolab was able to prove its outstanding potential with the methods it has developed. So, th evaluation and statistics were carried out independently of Agroisolab proving that even regional differentiation of timber is possible
We are delighted that Agroisolab has now set the standard for determining the origin of timber.
