Blockchain plastic traceability startup Circularise launched a project with  Porsche and some of its material suppliers, including BorealisCovestro  and Domo Chemicals to trace plastics and ensure sustainable materials are used in Porsche car production. The project is part of the Startup Autobahn innovation program.

“We need to know more details on the parts and materials being used in our products, that means information on production processes deep down the supply chain, statements of recycled content and more,” said Antoon Versteeg, Project Lead Innovation Research at Porsche.
