Israel-based Sarine Technologies Ltd., the world\u2019s leading maker of diamond-related equipment, has launched CarbonVERO\u2122, a ground-breaking new service that records the energy consumption and carbon footprint of each individual diamond, from rough to polished.<\/p>\n
Sarine said this pioneering innovation is the result of a strategic collaboration with highly respected diamond manufacturer and trader Andre Messika Ltd. and The Carbon Trust, a renowned authority in carbon emissions assessment. The data will be accessible via Sarine’s Diamond Journey\u2122 traceability solution.<\/p>\n
