Frequently Asked Questions
eBale is a technology system that supports the traceability of Australian wool. It includes wool packs that have a unique (matching) QR code and RFID microchip – these are known as eBale packs. To maximise the success
of the technology, the QR Code can be read on farm using WoolClip, an electronic wool classing and data App and the RFID is used in commercial warehouse settings.
All eBale data is securely stored in the cloud using best practice security measures. The data is only provided to the grower, classer or the nominated wool marketing organisation.
eBale will support the traceability of Australian wool, which is important in marketing, biosecurity and quality assurance. It will help protect Australian wool’s global reputation as being the supplier of high quality wool of known provenance.
Each pack may be re-used once only and must be repaired by a registered repairer. The standard does not allow for the washing of the used packs. Nylon packs repaired by registered repairers must carry special identification.
AWEX Members must identify at the time of sale all lots comprising in part or total, wool packed in AWEX Approved Repaired Wool Packs. These lots require a "V" Catalogue Symbol (Repaired Nylon packs - Complete lots or lots that contain both new and repaired nylon packs only), to correctly identify the nature of their packaging to the end users of the wool.
