COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DIGITALLY PROCESSING INDUSTRIALLY PRODUCED PRODUCTS BASED ON WASTE MATERIALS

Disclosed is a computer-implemented method for controlling production of a product in a production facility using one or more input materials, in particular for the production of a chemical product, wherein at least one of the input materials is a waste-derived material which may be provided from a source location to a target location of the production facility and wherein the source location and the target location may comprise two different waste-related technical requirements for the use of waste-derived materials for the production of a product, and wherein the method comprises the following steps:- providing a digital representation of the waste-related technical requirements for different source locations and target locations, wherein the digital representation includes the waste-related technical requirements as a rule-based model or set of rules, based on waste material categories being processed using material attributes for classifying a waste-derived material into at least one waste material category, and wherein it is distinguished between attested material attributes and associated material attributes;- evaluating at least one rule of the set of rules or the rule-based model relating to at least one waste material category for an underlying source location and for the target location, in particular regarding an attested material attribute for the waste-derived material;- generating control data for the production of the product, dependent on the result of the evaluation, wherein considering an associated material attribute.
