Project Teaser

Enabling digitization by sharing material quality and sustainability data across company boundaries

In the chemical industry, certification for raw materials is essential to ensure quality standards. The so-called certificates of analysis (CoAs) can also contain information about sustainability and environmental impact, such as the CO2 footprint. Combining such data with blockchain technology entails tremendous progress since today’s paper-based documents will be replaced with tamper-proof machine-readable records. This is key for a circular economy since the transferred data can be fully traced and the materials’ origin can be reliably identified.

This Project Teaser is also featured on our agenda. Click to see more.
