Sustainable solution for chemical inventory
Transforming stock management : ChemSmog the B2B marketplace for preventing chemical disposal .
Europe is facing unprecedented challenges due to increased feedstock prices , supply chain disruptions and elevated energy costs . In addition , a general trend of de-industrialisation and a rapidly changing business environment towards a circular economy is creating adverse conditions for industry competitiveness .
Maintaining a global competitive position requires business transparency and agility , harnessing data as a feedstock for innovation and operational excellence , and localising supply chains that favour circular business models .
As part of sustainable transition and to win the market challenges , there is a need to improve the resource-efficiency of materials . At present , significant volumes of high-quality chemicals are being disposed , generating the gap that ChemSmog aims to fill : the sustainable chemical inventory management solution .
Our solution
In the ChemChimp ecosystem , ChemSmog is the digital platform to upgrade slow-and non-moving inventory into sustainabilityadvantaged products . ChemSmog is designed as an easy-access B2B marketplace , aiming to valorise slow-and non-moving chemical inventory , meaning , amongst other things , that materials close to expiration , expired , out-of-spec , excess , secondary raw materials .
ChemSmog adopts data-driven sales principles to valorise the chemicals in scope avoiding disposal . By utilising data as feedstock and the widening business network connected to ChemSmog ,
the chemicals in scope are defined by their functionalities and proposed as solutions that can go beyond their original use , across market segments and with no geographical boundaries .
Selling by functionalities , crossmarket segments and geographies increases the chance of avoiding disposal . This translates in value creation for material owners , for the buyers and for us all . The material owners indeed will manage inventory costs , save disposal costs and eventually have sales revenues on what was previously labelled waste material ; the buyers will have a competitive advantage in the buying price of a readily available material which will guarantee performances within their acceptance range ; we and our planet will benefit from the disposal and CO 2 avoidance .
From launch to success
Our platform launched in January 2023 and this year to date we have prevented the disposal of more than 150 tonnes of chemical products and the emission of approximately 100 tonnes of CO 2
.
We have established customers in more than 12 different countries across three regions . Our story has not gone unnoticed , we are the LogiChem Dragons ’ Den 2024 winner and this fortifies our confidence in the solution !
Join ChemSmog
ChemSmog is the seed for the value creation , but the power of the many is what we believe in for the change .
ChemSmog is an agile digital startup , which validated the potential of the proposed sustainable chemical inventory management solution .
We are actively partnering with company owners to improve their brand value by reducing the environmental impact and monetising their slow- and non-moving chemicals .
As a unique digital sales channel that contributes to the omnichannel market approach without cannibalising existing business , we intend to prevent end-of-life emissions by extending the supply chain .
We welcome all members of the value chain that are willing to contribute to the cause and we are specifically looking for leading industry-partners to accelerate market acceptance and build concept credibility .
