Products don't start with petroleum. They start with a thought. Material Transition is the intelligence layer the physical economy runs through when it needs to know what things are made of, who makes them, what they emit, and what to use instead. Here is what is live today, what is being built next, and what you get to vote on.
Energy is being solved. Materials are the next frontier, and every product, package, building, and vehicle is made of them. The company that wins the materials transition will not be a materials company. It will be a technology company.
Others own pieces: more suppliers, more chemicals, more certifications, more facilities. Material Transition fuses canonical materials, normalized properties, certifications, entity-resolved suppliers, production sites, and emissions into a single queryable graph, embedded for semantic search.
Reduce the footprint without compromising price or performance. That is the only mandate that wins every stakeholder at once: R&D wants performance, sustainability wants a lower footprint, procurement wants price. Win all three or you do not win.
An authenticated, audited MCP server ships with the platform. As enterprises adopt agentic workflows, Material Transition is positioned as the sourcing infrastructure their agents call, not just the app their people open.
Bloomberg gave the financial economy its data terminal. Retail has its distribution engine. Material Transition intends to build both for the physical economy.
Find the material, find the supplier, know the regulation. The data layer for the physical economy, live now.
Simulate the formulation, generate the compliance document, run the workflow. Discovery becomes execution.
Where sustainable materials, chemicals, ingredients, products, packaging, and component parts actually change hands. The industrial distribution arm of the physical economy.
Every feature on the roadmap below ladders up to one of these three stages. We do not know the exact order they get built in. That is why you get a vote.
We do not have a fixed sequence. Upvote what you want most and it moves up the list. Filter by what you care about.
A long-term marketplace for sustainable materials, chemicals, ingredients, products, packaging, and component parts, built on the intelligence and workflow layers underneath.
The future distribution layer for the physical economy, connecting qualified material demand to the infrastructure needed to move it.
Full SOC 2 compliance for the largest enterprise deployments.
Accounts receivable and payable, native to the sourcing workflow.
Finance sourcing at the exact point of need.
Generate LCA, EPD, and PCF documents on demand: the assessments that typically cost consultants thousands.
Create RFQs, run sequenced supplier outreach, issue approved NDAs automatically, compare technical fit before price, and carry awards into purchase orders, payments, and invoicing through one auditable workflow.
Connect buyers with qualified, filtered supplier demand.
Run material-transition projects through Stage-Gate 0–5 and TRL 1–9, with linked evidence, risks, approvals, and the next decision made visible.
Run deep research from any node or edge of any supply chain map: a mine, a smelter, a converter, or a contract manufacturer. What it finds gets written back onto the map.
Chain platform actions into repeatable sourcing workflows you can run on demand.
A monthly updated decision engine that connects requirements, effective dates, sector relevance, and cross-framework relationships to the material and supply-chain decisions they affect.
Benchmark raw material costs against live commodity signals.
Resolve and enrich companies through a shared identifier spine, evidence-backed matching, facilities, ownership, supplier relationships, and public operating signals.
Model a formulation before you commit to sourcing it.
Show what supports every material, supplier, and supply-chain claim, when it was observed, how it was verified, and where uncertainty remains.
Bring a line card or distributor catalogue and it gets normalized, indexed, and recommended, so who carries what becomes a query instead of a phone call.
Material Transition on the go.
Track material inventory alongside your sourcing intelligence.
Model and design out material waste across the chain.
Plan and schedule sourcing against demand.
Logistics visibility layered onto suppliers and materials.
Simulate processing conditions and predicted outcomes before you run them.
Model a product end to end across materials and process.
Connect approved scientific, financial, commerce, and operational APIs to Material Transition, with governed capabilities available to the app and its agents through MCP.
Enrich company and supplier profiles from connected sources.
Draft and run supplier and buyer outreach sequences from inside the platform.
Bio-based materials modeling to help design toward sustainable feedstocks.
Connect selected team tools so Material Transition intelligence and workflows can move safely between systems.
First-class supplier relationships: who distributes for whom, who manufactures for whom, who ships to whom. Every edge carries the evidence behind it.
Environmental product declarations for building materials, joined to the manufacturers and plants that stand behind them. This is the layer that feeds the Impact Assessment Creator.
From ingredient to facility: certified organic operations, processing establishments, and the ingredient statements behind hundreds of thousands of branded products.
Flip a toggle on any supply chain map and see the contract manufacturers near it that you didn't know existed, filtered by process, material, and certification.
Describe a product. Get a reference bill of materials, sustainable material selections, and a shortlist of contract manufacturers ready to build it.
Every answer ends with the next questions worth asking: engineered follow-ups that know your workspace, your industry, and where you are in the work.
Ingest, parse, normalize, enrich, resolve, and connect new data into evidence-backed intelligence across materials, companies, facilities, certifications, compliance, and products.
Transparent, usage-based pricing across the whole platform. Every plan includes a monthly allowance, with top-up packs for busy months.
A welcome grant plus a fresh unit of usage every day on the free plan, so anyone can explore the platform at no cost.
Alloys, mill products, smelters, and mines, with facility-level emissions attached to each one. The metal supply chain from ore to coil, searchable like everything else on the platform.
Upload a spec or a technical data sheet and get ranked, sustainable material alternatives with suppliers, certifications, and emissions data in about thirty seconds.
Ask a materials question in plain English across the entire corpus. Answers surface from data sheets, supplier profiles, and editorial pages alike.
Turn a query like "surfactants for cosmetics" into an interactive supply chain map in seconds, and publish it as a shareable snapshot.
Full-screen maps of suppliers, production facilities, and emissions sources, with legend filtering.
A certified products catalog and canonical property browser, normalized to SI units for true apples-to-apples comparison.
Restriction, disclosure, and phase-out lists tracked continuously, including class-level bans like PFAS.
Each workspace carries its own context, so the platform answers through the lens of your company.
Items, searches, spec matches, BOMs, supply chains, and maps organized into collections you return to.
An authenticated, audited MCP endpoint. The platform is already built for AI agents, not just people.
Sustainability, RFP, Risk, Demand, and Cost: five functions that move from "find me a material" to "run my sourcing."
Enterprise security-readiness audit completed, establishing the path to full SOC 2 compliance.
What fuels the material transition? Love.
Every intelligent action on the platform costs Love: our usage unit, priced in plain sight. Browsing the catalogue, the maps, and the substitution engine is always free. Love only moves where real intelligence does.
Every plan includes a monthly allowance of Love that refills on the first. Need more in a busy month? Buy a pack, no plan change required. And because everyone deserves Love, free accounts get a welcome grant plus a fresh Love every single day.
