Plastics and chemicals

Circular-material data customers and regulators can use

Trace recycled, bio-based and bio-circular feedstocks from source to finished product. Manage mass balance and share evidence for REACH, CLP and PPWR, without exposing formulations.

Track inputs, outputs, conversions and allocations across sites and batches.

Reuse evidence downstream

For PPWR documentation, customer requests and future product passports.

What Circularise covers

A circular material is only as credible as its evidence

The certificate or declaration is the output. The work is collecting evidence, tracing allocations and linking attributes to each transaction.

Supplier evidence collection

Declarations, certificates, feedstock data and test results, structured and reviewed.

Material and mass-balance traceability

Feedstocks, sites, transformations, inventories and transactions in one chain of custody.

Governed data sharing

Share evidence with customers, auditors and authorities, not formulations or supplier identities.

Detergents & surfactants

Connect product identity, responsible-operator information, traceability and ingredients. Detergents and end-user surfactants follow their own product-passport rules under the Detergents and Surfactants Regulation.

Carbon-fibre composites

Connect fibre and resin composition, origin and recovery information. Vehicle circularity requirements can also require removal information. Composite traceability is broader than mass-balance accounting.

Implementation workflow

From fragmented declarations to a maintained material-data system

An ongoing workflow, not a spreadsheet rebuilt before every audit.

  1. 1

    Collect the evidence

    Map fields to suppliers, sites and owners, then collect certificates and feedstock data.

Traceability readiness

Build traceability before requests multiply

  1. 01

    Confirm material and market scope

    Prioritise feedstocks, materials, sites, schemes and markets.

  2. 02

    Map certification and regulatory data

    Separate what ISCC, packaging, DPP and chemical-safety workflows each need.

  3. 03

    Establish site-level accounting

    Set periods, boundaries, conversion factors and allocation rules up front.

  4. 04

    Define access and verification rules

    Decide what customers, auditors, authorities and recyclers can see.

  5. 05

    Connect existing systems

    Integrate ERP, MES, LIMS, QMS and certification systems.

Frequently asked questions

What does plastics and chemicals traceability cover?

Feedstock origin, composition, certificates, production records, chain of custody and sustainability attributes across suppliers, sites and finished materials. The evidence supports certification, audits, customer disclosures and product requirements.

What is the difference between ISCC PLUS and a Digital Product Passport?

ISCC PLUS is a voluntary certification system for circular supply chains. A DPP is a product-linked record under EU product law. The same traceability data can support both, but their rules and outputs differ.

Can ISCC PLUS data be used for PPWR recycled-content requirements?

It can support a PPWR claim, but certification alone does not prove PPWR conformity. The Regulation sets its own calculation, verification and documentation rules.

How do plastics and chemicals connect to ESPR passports?

Polymer and chemical producers may be asked for composition, recycled content, substances of concern and end-of-life data, especially as rules develop for tyres, electronics and other priority products.

Who can access composition and formulation data?

Access follows the recipient’s role. Customers, recyclers, auditors or authorities receive verified material characteristics without the full formulation or supplier identities.
