Often, when consumers buy products labeled as sustainable fashion, they cannot see a verified record of how the product was made or how it affects the environment. Covalent&#8217;s products bridge that gap with a blockchain-based number that can be used to show the steps in the production process for that specific product as well as its third-party-verified carbon impact so customers can view impact the product is having on the environment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A unique 12-digit number printed on each Covalent product, known as the &#8220;Carbon Date,&#8221; represents the time when the AirCarbon used to create that specific product was created.

The supply chain journey that brought each product to life is stored in an immutable record on the blockchain and stretches from when the AirCarbon was formed and molded into a handbag to who independently verified its carbon footprint and when it was moved to a stockroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our goal was to give people the information they need to decide what kind of impact they want to make,&#8221; Newlight CEO <span class=\"xn-person\">Mark Herrema<\/span> said. &#8220;With IBM Blockchain and LinuxONE technology, we can now provide visibility into not only the steps used to make each Covalent product, but also the carbon impact that each specific product has on the environment.\u00a0\u00a0For us, that&#8217;s important, because it helps make tangible the unique pathway that led to the creation of that product.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>By working with IBM Business Partner Cognition Foundry, a services provider and systems integrator, Covalent is able to host its IBM Blockchain solution on IBM LinuxONE, a highly secured server for mission critical workloads and that provides scalability and resiliency, including the industry&#8217;s first and only FIPS 140-2 Level 4 certified Hardware Security Module (HSM).<sup>[1]<\/sup>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Blockchain&#8217;s ability to foster trust gives Covalent&#8217;s customers a better understanding of how their products were made,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Alistair Rennie<\/span>, General Manager of IBM Blockchain.\u00a0\u00a0&#8220;In turn, Covalent can create a better customer experience, and a better opportunity for consumers to understand how their choices impact the environment.
