Online tool tracks bio-based materials
E-certificates automatically trace ingredients through supply chain processes
An online tool designed to track bio-based raw materials in the supply chain has been developed by AkzoNobel, Advanced Biochemical (Thailand) (ABT) and professional services firm EY. It relies on e-certification to track bio-based material content right through a product’s value chain.
Many raw materials have alternative sources, and can be made from either petrochemicals or bio-based materials. Batches from both sources are often mixed, and the tool allows the proportion of bio-based ingredient in the mixture to be tracked.
