Detergents & Surfactants
Prepare for Digital Product Passports while improving visibility across your chemical supply chain. Circularise helps manufacturers, brands and suppliers collect ingredient information, trace material inputs and share reliable product data with customers and authorised partners.
Detergents and surfactants data model
Detergents & Surfactants
Connected supplier and production evidence
Product identity and passport information
Make it clear which product the record covers and who is responsible for it.
Ingredients and technical evidence
Connect ingredient information to the applicable formulation.
Origin, chain of custody and claims
Keep sourcing and environmental claims connected to their supporting records.
Packaging and product-use information
Maintain information for packaging decisions and customer communication.
Prepare for Digital Product Passports
Connect product identity, ingredient information and conformity records in maintained digital records. Build a consistent foundation for passport preparation, retailer requests and customer disclosures.
Substantiate material and sourcing claims
Link information about feedstock origin, certified inputs and environmental performance to supporting supplier records. Keep claims connected to the materials, calculation methods and certification scope behind them.
Preserve visibility across suppliers
Collect information across ingredient producers, formulators and manufacturing partners. Share relevant evidence while controlling access to confidential supplier and commercial information.
What Circularise covers
Circularise connects supplier declarations, ingredient data and technical evidence to the products they describe. Teams can reuse approved information for passport preparation, chemical compliance assessments, sourcing decisions and packaging requirements.
Build the product record behind the detergents DPP, connecting identity, ingredient disclosures and conformity information. Keep each record linked to the relevant formulation and supporting documentation as products and suppliers change.
Collect substance specifications, safety data sheets and biodegradability test reports from suppliers. Connect evidence relevant to the Detergents Regulation, REACH and CLP to the ingredients and products it covers, helping teams identify gaps and follow up efficiently.
Trace fossil, bio-based and recycled feedstocks through the relevant supply chain. Maintain sourcing records, certification evidence and material accounting for customer claims, including mass-balance allocations where appropriate to the certification scheme and claim.
Connect bottles, closures, labels and refill packaging to material specifications and supplier evidence. Organise packaging weights, recycled-content records and recyclability assessments for PPWR preparation, while keeping product information consistent across packaged and refill formats.
Implementation workflow
Product information changes when ingredients, suppliers or formulations change. Establish a workflow that keeps those changes connected to the records used by procurement, product, sustainability and compliance teams.
Request ingredient specifications, chemical declarations, test reports and sourcing evidence in a consistent format. Identify the suppliers and internal teams responsible for each record, review completeness and follow up on missing information.
Link ingredient inputs and supplier evidence to the relevant formulations, production batches and finished products. Preserve chain-of-custody records and distinguish physical composition from attributes allocated through mass balance.
Provide approved information through digital passports and controlled partner access. Connect disclosures to product identifiers and maintain access rules that reflect mandatory disclosure requirements and commercial confidentiality.
Detergents and surfactants data model
Build a consistent evidence base for what your products contain, where their ingredients come from and which claims can be substantiated.
Make it clear which product the record covers and who is responsible for it.
Connect ingredient information to the applicable formulation.
Keep sourcing and environmental claims connected to their supporting records.
Maintain information for packaging decisions and customer communication.
Detergents and surfactants passport readiness
Start with a defined product range and its ingredient suppliers. Establish how information is collected, reviewed and maintained, then extend the approach across formulations, brands and markets.
Identify the detergents and surfactants involved, their intended users and your role in the supply chain. Map product, chemical and packaging requirements to the relevant teams and records.
Begin with composition records, safety data sheets, biodegradability evidence and sourcing documentation. Establish who holds each record, which formulations it covers and where information is missing.
Assign responsibility for reviewing, approving and updating information. Map required disclosures alongside controlled access to supporting supplier, formulation and commercial records.
Plan connections with formulation, ERP, procurement and compliance systems. Define how ingredient substitutions, supplier changes and updated assessments trigger a review of affected product records.
The requirement covers household, industrial and institutional detergents, alongside surfactants supplied directly to end users. Upstream surfactant suppliers also play a role by providing the ingredient and technical evidence manufacturers need. Circularise connects these supplier records to finished products, helping companies prepare passports and respond to downstream information requests.
Companies already collect information for REACH, CLP and detergent-specific requirements. Passport preparation creates an opportunity to connect these records around the same product and formulation. Circularise helps teams reuse relevant substance information, safety data sheets and supplier evidence, while keeping each disclosure aligned with its purpose.
The Regulation provides for extending biodegradability requirements beyond surfactants to detergent films and certain other organic ingredients. Circularise helps connect ingredient identities, supplier specifications and test results to affected formulations. This gives teams a clearer basis for identifying evidence gaps, requesting updated assessments and planning supplier or formulation changes.
An ingredient substitution can affect several products and the evidence behind them. Circularise helps maintain connections between supplier inputs, formulation versions and supporting records, so teams can identify affected products and review their disclosures. This makes passport preparation part of ongoing product information management.
