Chem-X is the key to a transparent and circular chemical industry. With Chem-X, we want to address the need for a seamless exchange of product information in the value chain across industries. Thereby, we want to enable compliance with different regulatory requirements, support circular business models and increase competitiveness.
Within the chemical industry, we want to help companies creating a Digital Material Passport (DMP). A Digital Material Passport (DMP) captures information on chemicals which constitute a final product that is regulatory required to have a Digital Product Passport (DPP).
To lay the foundations for a chemistry DMP, we have been working on six guidelines in which we summarize our common understanding of methodological frameworks, metrics, terminology, and review existing implementations. The guidelines address key topics: business and material identity, circularity and sustainability, material declaration, and verification. The guidelines will be used alongside the information models as prerequisite to develop DMP models.
With this call, we want to invite public feedback for our initial results on these guidelines to ensure the inclusion of a wide range of perspectives. We will use this feedback to further improve and enhance the guideline.
