Chemical product with environmental attributes

A method for producing at least one chemical product including a chemical product associated with one or more environmental attribute(s), wherein the chemical product is produced by a chemical production network, wherein the chemical production network chemically converts input materials via chemical intermediates to chemical products that exit the chemical production network, the method comprising:

• providing multiple input material(s) associated with the one or more environmental attribute(s) to one or more entry point(s) of the chemical production network,
• providing material data related to the multiple input material(s) and the one or more environmental attribute(s) to a computing interface,
• allocating, by an operating system, the one or more environmental attribute(s) to at least one balancing account associated with the one or more environmental attribute(s), wherein the one or more environmental attribute(s) may be added or withdrawn from the at least one balancing account,
• producing the chemical product and providing the chemical product to one or more exit point(s) of the chemical production network,
• providing a chemical product identifier for the chemical product,
• assigning, by an operating system, at least one environmental attribute of the multiple materials from the at least one balancing account associated with the one or more environmental attribute to the chemical product, wherein the at least one environmental attribute from the at least one balancing account associated with the one or more environmental attribute(s) is assigned to the chemical product identifier, wherein the chemical product identifier is associated with the physical entity of the chemical product, wherein the chemical product identifier is a virtual identifier uniquely linked to the chemical product.

A computer-implemented method for assigning at least one environmental attribute to at least one chemical product including a chemical product produced by a chemical production network, wherein the chemical product is produced by a chemical production network, wherein the chemical production network chemically converts input materials via chemical intermediates to chemical products that exit the chemical production network, the method comprising:

• providing material data related to multiple input material(s) and respective environmental attributes to a computing interface, wherein the multiple input material(s) are provided at entry point(s) to the chemical production network,
• allocating, by an operating system, one or more environmental attribute(s) to at least one balancing account associated with the respective environmental attribute(s), wherein the one or more environmental attribute(s) may be added or withdrawn from the at least one balancing account,
• providing a chemical product identifier associated with the chemical product produced by the chemical production network,
• assigning, by an operating system, at least one environmental attribute from the at least one balancing account associated with the respective environmental attribute to the chemical product identifier, wherein the chemical product identifier is associated with the physical entity of the chemical product, wherein the chemical product identifier is a virtual identifier uniquely linked to the chemical product.

An apparatus for assigning at least one environmental attribute to at least one chemical product including a chemical product produced by a chemical production network, wherein the chemical product is produced by a chemical production network, wherein the chemical production network chemically converts input materials via chemical intermediates to chemical products that exit the chemical production network, the apparatus comprising:

• a data provider configured to provide material data related to multiple input material(s) and respective environmental attributes to a computing interface, wherein the multiple input material(s) are provided at entry point(s) to the chemical production network,
• an inbound allocator configured to allocate one or more environmental attribute(s) to at least one balancing account associated with the respective environmental attribute, wherein the one or more environmental attribute(s) may be added or withdrawn from the at least one balancing account,
• an identifier provider configured to provide a chemical product identifier associated with the chemical product produced by the chemical production network,
• an outbound allocator configured to assign at least one environmental attribute from the at least one balancing account associated with the respective environmental attribute to the chemical product identifier, wherein the chemical product identifier is associated with the physical entity of the chemical product, wherein the chemical product identifier is a virtual identifier uniquely linked to the chemical product.
