The scientific journal “Science Advance” pointed out that in 2015 the annual global production of plastic reached 381 million tons and 80% of it will become garbage.
Faced with the problem, there are different innovations that deal with this contamination, such as “circulate”, a startup from the Netherlands that uses blockchain for companies to make more sustainable products.
According to the World Economic Forum, the company creates a “digital twin” of a component or material giving details of its origin, who created it and its environmental impact.

So companies can tell if a part has hazardous materials. The “smart questions” of circulate encrypt sensitive data blockchain (shared and unchangeable ledger that facilitates the process of recording transactions and tracking assets in a business network).
European entrepreneurship works alongside PorscheMarubeni and covestro to make them greener while giving the company the right information for its sustainable objectives.
It should be noted that tracking the use of materials is key to reducing waste. In addition, it helps boost recycling and creates a circular economy.
