First claim

1 .- 15 . (canceled)

16 . A system for producing a formulation additive associated with a digital asset, the system comprising:
a chemical production network configured to produce the formulation additive wherein the formulation additive is produced from one or more input material(s) through one or more chemical process(s) of the chemical production network, wherein the one or more input material(s) and/or the one or more chemical process(s) are associated with environmental attribute(s); a production operating apparatus configured to generate the digital asset by providing a decentral identifier associated with the produced formulation additive and one or more environmental attribute(s) of the one or more input material(s) and/or the one or more chemical process(s); linking the decentral identifier and the environmental attribute(s); a chemical production network or system configured to provide each produced formulation additive in association with the digital asset.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the formulation additive associated with the formulation additive passport or digital asset is selected from the group consisting of stabilizers, UV stabilizers such as UV absorbers and suitable free-radical scavengers (more particularly HALS compounds—hindered amine light stabilizers), activators (accelerants), driers, extenders, pigments, dyes, antistatic agents, flame retardants, thickeners, thixotropic agents, surface-active agents, viscosity modifiers, plasticizers or chelating agents, wetting agents, dispersion agents, emulsifier, defoaming agent, film forming agent/Coalescent, agents to reduce minimum film formation temperature, open time prolonger and slipping agents.

18 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the digital asset of the formulation additive includes information of impurities related to the input material(s).

19 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the one or more environmental attribute(s) associated with the formulation additive are provided from at least one balancing account configured to store environmental attribute(s) associated with input material(s).

20 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the one or more environmental attribute(s) are associated with at least one property related to the environmental impact of the one or more input material(s) and/or the chemical process(s).

21 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the production operating apparatus is configured to gather environmental attributes associated with the produced formulation additive before, during and/or after production of the formulation additive by the chemical production network.

22 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the environmental attribute(s) associated with the formulation additive produced through chemical processes from one or more input material(s) provided to the chemical production network include the environmental attribute(s) associated with the input material(s), the chemical process(es) and/or the chemical production network(s).

23 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the environmental attribute(s) associated with input material(s) are provided before, during and/or after production of the formulation additive by the chemical production network, wherein the environmental attribute(s) associated with input material(s) are allocated to at least one balancing account before, during and/or after production of the formulation additive by the chemical production network.

24 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the environmental attribute(s) associated with the produced formulation additive relate to environmental properties generated from process data associated with the chemical processing of the input material(s) and/or energy data associated with the energy consumption of the chemical processing, wherein the environmental attribute(s) associated with the produced formulation additive are generated before, during and/or after production of the formulation additive by the chemical production network.

25 . A method for producing a formulation additive associated with a digital asset, wherein the method comprises:
producing the formulation additive from one or more input material(s) through one or more chemical process(s) of a chemical production network, wherein the one or more input material(s) and/or the one or more chemical process(s) are associated with environmental attribute(s); generating the digital asset by providing a decentral identifier associated with the produced formulation additive and one or more environmental attribute(s) associated with the one or more input material(s) and/or the one or more chemical process(s); linking the decentral identifier and the one or more environmental attribute(s); providing the produced formulation additive in association with the digital asset.

26 . A formulation additive associated with a digital asset including a decentral identifier associated with the formulation additive and linked to one or more environmental attribute(s) of the one or more input material(s) and/or the one or more chemical process(s) used to produce the formulation additive.

27 . The formulation additive of claim 26 , wherein the formulation additive is selected from the group consisting of stabilizers, UV stabilizers, activators, driers, extenders, pigments, dyes, antistatic agents, flame retardants, thickeners, thixotropic agents, surface-active agents, viscosity modifiers, plasticizers or chelating agents, wetting agents, dispersion agents, emulsifier, defoaming agent, film forming agent/Coalescent, agents to reduce minimum film formation temperature, open time prolonger and slipping agents.

28 . A method for generating a digital asset associated with a formulation additive, wherein the formulation additive is produced from one or more input material(s) through one or more chemical process(s) of a chemical production network, wherein the one or more input material(s) and/or the one or more chemical process(s) are associated with environmental attribute(s), the method comprising:
providing a decentral identifier associated with the produced formulation additive and one or more environmental attribute(s) of the one or more input material(s) and/or the one or more chemical process(s) used to produce the formulation additive; linking the decentral identifier and the environmental attribute(s); providing the digital asset in association with the produced formulation additive, wherein the environmental attribute(s) associated with the formulation additive is made accessible to a user of the formulation additive through the digital asset.

29 . A digital asset as generated according to the method of claim 28 .

30 . A method comprising using the formulation additive of claim 26 associated with the digital asset for producing a product from the formulation additive and deriving a digital asset associated with the product from the formulation additive digital asset.
