Product lifecycle environmental fingerprinting: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Fragmented supply chains for active ingredients and feed additives obscure carbon and toxicity footprints, creating regulatory and reputational risk. Standardized digital passports and attribute tracking mitigate these risks by ensuring verifiable environmental compliance across the value chain.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Product lifecycle environmental fingerprinting?

Industrial process operational inefficiencies

(54)evidences

Disparate data sources and deployment environments prevent accurate comparative impact assessments. Standardizing these measurements allows for precise identification of carbon-intensive production variances.

Inaccurate material provenance tracking

(20)evidences

Fragmented data across decentralized supply chains prevents the verification of material origins and lifecycle stages. Establishing a reliable audit trail ensures regulatory compliance and environmental accountability.

Unquantified lifecycle environmental impacts

(17)evidences

Fragmented data across chemical synthesis stages prevents precise environmental footprinting. Resolving this allows for rigorous sustainability benchmarking across complex pharmaceutical supply chains.
