Abstract

Material reuse and recycling plays a key role in reducing carbon emissions in the architecture and construction sector. A “Material Passport” (MP) is a record describing how a material is used throughout its lifetime, from genesis to termination, recording operations carried out on the material. The granularity of information recorded in a MP can vary, however ensuring that this provenance trail remains immutable is a key requirement. The benefits of using a MP, operations carried out on a MP, and recording of transactions within a distributed Blockchain (parachain) is described. A scenario is used to illustrate how the proposed approach can be used in practice.
