Environmental attributes for industrial formulators compositions ingredients

A method performed by a production operating apparatus for generating a digital asset associated with an industrial formulators composition ingredient, wherein the industrial formulators composition ingredient is produced from one or more input materials through one or more chemical processes of a chemical production network, wherein the one or more input materials and/or the one or more chemical processes are associated with one or more environmental attributes, the method comprising:

• generating, by the production operating apparatus, the digital asset by providing a decentral identifier associated with the produced industrial formulators composition ingredient and the one or more environmental attributes of the one or more input materials and/or the one or more chemical processes used to produce the industrial formulators composition ingredient;
• linking the decentral identifier and the one or more environmental attributes, wherein the decentral identifier is connected to a digital representation of the one or more environmental attributes and wherein the one or more environmental attributes are stored in a database associated with the industrial formulators composition ingredient producer for access by a consumer of the industrial formulators composition ingredient;
• and
• providing, by the production operating apparatus, the digital asset in association with the produced industrial formulators composition ingredient, wherein the one or more environmental attributes associated with the industrial formulators composition ingredient are made accessible to a user of the industrial formulators composition ingredient through the digital asset;
• wherein the digital representation includes a representation for accessing the one or more environmental attribute or part thereof, wherein access to the one or more environmental attribute or part thereof is controlled by the industrial formulators composition ingredient producer via the decentral identifier and its association with the industrial formulators composition ingredient producer and the one or more environmental attributes.

An apparatus for generating a passport or digital asset associated with an industrial formulators composition ingredient, wherein the industrial formulators composition ingredient is produced from one or more input materials through one or more chemical processes of a chemical production network, wherein the one or more input materials and/or the one or more chemical processes are associated with one or more environmental attributes, the apparatus comprising:

• a decentral identity provider configured to provide a decentral identifier associated with the produced industrial formulators composition ingredient and one or more environmental attributes of the one or more input materials and/or the one or more chemical processes used to produce the industrial formulators composition ingredient;
• an assignor configured to link the decentral identifier and the one or more environmental attributes, wherein the decentral identifier is connected to a digital representation of the one or more environmental attributes and wherein the one or more environmental attributes are stored in a database associated with the industrial formulators composition ingredient producer for access by a consumer of the industrial formulators composition ingredient;
• and
• a passport provider configured to provide the industrial formulators composition ingredient passport or digital asset in association with the produced industrial formulators composition ingredient to a decentral network, wherein the one or more environmental attributes associated with the industrial formulators composition ingredient are made accessible to a consumer of the industrial formulators composition ingredient through the industrial formulators composition ingredient passport or digital asset;
• wherein the digital representation includes a representation for accessing the one or more environmental attributes or part thereof, wherein access to the one or more environmental attributes or part thereof is controlled by the industrial formulators composition ingredient producer via the decentral identifier and its association with the industrial formulators composition ingredient producer and the one or more environmental attributes.
