Passports
Humans have passports, so why not materials and products? For decades, supply chain integrity focused on traceability and transparency, linked to standards like fairtrade, conflict-free, organic, and cruelty-free. Now, as we transition from a linear to circular economy, we need to up the game again. It is not enough to know where a product comes from and who made it. We also need to know what’s in it and how to recycle it. Circularise provides a window on the future, working with blockchain and injected tracer-DNA to allow product materials to be tagged and decoded throughout the value chain.
