From Standing Tree to Certified Structure

Five stages. Five certificates. One immutable chain of custody. See exactly how the URTI protocol transforms raw forestry assets into fully certified, tokenized products.

Every stage issues an NFCC certificate

Each transformation in the wood supply chain generates a unique, cryptographically verified compliance certificate.

Stage 01

Register

Tree registered at origin with GPS, species, and ownership data

Stage 02

Harvest

Legal extraction verified with chain-of-custody documentation

Stage 03

Mill

Processing tracked board-by-board with input/output certification

Stage 04

Produce

Pallet and product manufacturing certified per unit

Stage 05

Certify

Final structure validated with full supply chain provenance

Registration

Tree Registration & Origin Capture

Every journey begins at the source. Individual trees are registered in the URTI protocol with precise geolocation, species identification, and ownership data. This creates the foundational identity for every asset that will flow through the supply chain.

Data Captured
  • GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude)
  • Species & common name identification
  • Owner name, organization & contact
  • Estimated age, diameter, and height
  • Health status and field notes
  • Location name and region
Certificate Issued
NFCC-REG — Registration Certificate
Who Benefits

Forest owners gain a verifiable digital identity for each tree. Regulators get EUDR-ready documentation. Buyers can trace any product back to the exact origin tree.

Harvest Verification

Legal Extraction & Chain-of-Custody

When a registered tree is harvested, the URTI protocol captures the extraction event with full documentation. Legal compliance, harvester identity, and environmental conditions are recorded to establish the first link in the chain-of-custody.

Data Captured
  • Harvest date, time, and method
  • Licensed harvester identification
  • Legal permit and concession numbers
  • Environmental impact assessment
  • Transport vehicle and route logging
  • Witness and inspector verification
Certificate Issued
NFCC-HRV — Harvest Certificate
Who Benefits

Timber companies prove legal sourcing to regulators. Concession holders document compliance for renewal. Downstream buyers verify no illegal logging in their supply chain.

Milling & Processing

Board-by-Board Processing Certification

At the sawmill, raw timber is transformed into dimensional lumber. The URTI protocol tracks input/output ratios, waste metrics, and quality grading at the board level. Every piece of lumber carries a verifiable link back to its origin tree.

Data Captured
  • Mill facility ID and license
  • Input log volume and output board feet
  • Waste ratio and byproduct tracking
  • Lumber grade and dimensions
  • Treatment and drying specifications
  • Quality control inspector sign-off
Certificate Issued
NFCC-MIL — Milling Certificate
Who Benefits

Sawmill operators demonstrate processing efficiency and legal sourcing. Furniture makers verify lumber quality and provenance. Auditors access board-level traceability for ISPM-15 compliance.

Production & Manufacturing

Pallet & Product Certification

Certified lumber becomes pallets, furniture, packaging, or construction components. Each manufactured product receives its own NFCC that links back through milling, harvest, and registration — creating a complete digital twin of the physical product.

Data Captured
  • Factory ID, production line, and batch
  • Product type and specifications
  • Input lumber certification IDs
  • ISPM-15 heat treatment records
  • Shipment destination and carrier
  • Customer order and invoice references
Certificate Issued
NFCC-PRD — Production Certificate
Who Benefits

Pallet manufacturers prove ISPM-15 compliance for cross-border shipping. Logistics companies verify certification in real time. Enterprise buyers access per-unit provenance data for ESG reporting.

Structure & Final Certification

End-to-End Supply Chain Validation

The final NFCC validates the complete journey — from standing tree to finished structure. Prefab buildings, modular constructions, and structural wood components receive the terminal certificate that proves every input was legally sourced, properly processed, and fully traceable.

Data Captured
  • Structure type and building permit
  • Aggregated material sourcing certificates
  • Construction site geolocation
  • Carbon sequestration calculations
  • Structural engineering sign-off
  • Final inspection and commissioning
Certificate Issued
NFCC-STR — Structure Certificate
Who Benefits

Construction companies prove sustainable sourcing for green building certifications. Property developers access carbon credits from verified wood construction. Governments validate domestic timber use and deforestation compliance.
