Natural rubber can pass through smallholders, local collectors, processors and traders before reaching your factory. Each handover makes it harder to connect the material purchased with the production plots and evidence behind it.
For natural rubber importers, tyre manufacturers and industrial rubber producers, the challenge is turning that information into a repeatable process: knowing which purchases require due diligence, resolving gaps with suppliers and keeping evidence available when it is needed.
Your finished product does not tell the whole story. Even where a manufactured article falls outside EUDR scope, directly importing natural rubber can still trigger full due diligence obligations.
Distinguish imported raw materials, in-scope finished products and purchases from EU suppliers. Build the right workflow around each sourcing route and legal entity.
Rubber sourcing networks can involve large numbers of smallholder plots. Missing coordinates, inconsistent supplier records and incomplete production information make it difficult to establish a reliable basis for assessment.
Collect geolocation and supporting evidence through the supplier portal, bring existing data into the process and identify gaps that need supplier follow-up.
A potential deforestation alert needs investigation. Teams must be able to review the plot, examine supporting evidence and document their conclusion. Legality evidence needs to be assessed alongside deforestation risk.
Connect origin data, risk analysis and supplier documentation. Route exceptions for review and keep the evidence behind each due diligence decision accessible.
When compliance sits outside purchasing and inventory, teams repeatedly reconcile supplier spreadsheets, shipment records and due diligence references.
Integrate osapiens HUB for EUDR with SAP and other business systems. Automate standard workflows, manage exceptions centrally and return relevant due diligence information to operational processes.
Collect the geolocation and production information for the plots supplying the natural rubber. Keep supporting evidence connected to those origins from the start.
Maintain visibility as material is pooled
Collectors combine rubber from multiple producers. Preserve the relevant origin information through aggregation so that supplier records remain connected to the material being supplied.
Carry origin information through processing
As latex or coagulated rubber is processed into commercial grades, keep the connection between incoming material, contributing origins and outgoing batches.
Bring supplier data, origin information and risk evidence together for the relevant material. Where required, prepare and submit the due diligence statement through EU TRACES and retain its references.
Connect incoming rubber and relevant due diligence information with purchasing and inventory records. For businesses combining direct imports with EU purchases, apply the appropriate process to each flow.
Bring origin data, supplier collaboration, risk assessment and due diligence into one connected process. Discover how osapiens HUB for EUDR can support your rubber supply chain and integrate with your existing systems.
The EU’s main natural rubber suppliers are Côte d’Ivoire, Thailand and Indonesia, each with its own legal requirements for production, while EUDR requires traceability and geolocation across all origins.
Acceptable land rights, permits, registrations and other requirements look different for every country.
Traceability across the full supply chain requires linking the product to mills, collection points and plots - no mass balance allowed.
Accessibility of valid plot-level coordinates is not the same across countries. Some origins require workarounds and extra validation.
Country benchmark as set by the European Commission in May 2025. Figures on smallholder area and MSPO coverage are industry and public-sector estimates and change over time.
Reuse origin, farm and supporting documentation and collect only missing data.
Close geolocation and documentation gaps through structured supplier workflows.
Collectors combine rubber from multiple producers. Preserve the relevant origin information through aggregation so that supplier records remain connected to the material being supplied.
Assess production origins with AI Agents at scale and route exceptions for expert review.
Embed EUDR into existing purchasing, trading and logistics processes instead of creating a parallel workflow.
Automate declaration workflows, retain reference information and preserve the evidence behind each decision.
Bring origin data, supplier collaboration, risk assessment and due diligence into one connected process. Discover how osapiens HUB for EUDR can support your rubber supply chain and integrate with your existing systems.
