Papros Inc. offers an unique suite of products to support a whole series of product, part and raw material information collection, maintenance and use in a highly automated manner. The products support both list based and risk based approaches for chemical management in products, and also enable a greener footprint at the enterprise level. This is done by enabling companies to track not only material composition, but also environmental footprint information such as wastes created, or air emissions including greenhouse gases during the entire lifecycle or in specific phases of use, from raw material to end of life. Each footprint parameter is assigned a code. Thus various exposure routes for different use scenarios for the same substance can be offered unique codes. This data lends itself to commonly accepted risk evaluation modeling. Footprint rollups also include the methodology for Greenhouse gas emission aggregations, which is done efficiently in the program.

Thus companies can calculate product carbon footprints for the various phases of product development, processing and use in a very efficient manner right now.

Papros Inc.’s products offer robust performance, scalability and efficiency for tracking green chemistry in products. They enable these features in a manner that protects companies’ valuable IP as well in a manner that offer the companies many choices, and do not restrictively hold the companies’ data captive in any manner, enabling easy exchange, if by voluntary choice, of the data.
