A circular economy requires materials and products whose demonstrated Material Health characteristics will allow companies to maximise the economic value of these materials. End users and customers also want to know that the chemicals and materials are used in our products and production processes are toxicologically safe.
To substantiate your products’ environmental safety and to create a positive impact beyond basic legal requirements, you can assess the Material Health of your materials and products and even apply for a Material Health Certificate. The Material Health assessment of your products, from raw materials throughout all production processes to the finished product, will:
clearly establish whether the products are safe to use, recycle, consume, …
give you insight in the Material Health characteristics of your own and your supplier’s components and processes,
identify eventual hotspots where substitution might be needed,
lead to innovations and new collaborations with partners in the supply chain.
