Speed
In-silico screening delivers rapid biodegradability insights in days rather than weeks, enabling early decisions without waiting for laboratory testing.
Biodegradability assessment
OpenChemFacts helps R&D and sustainability teams estimate the biodegradability of formulations in days.
Predict formula biodegradability
- Estimated biodegradability of the formula (%)
- Contribution analysis by ingredient
- Actionable screening report
- Data quality transparency
Estimated biodegradability of the full formula (%)
A single, percentage-based biodegradability score summarising the overall environmental performance of your finished product.
Our predictions are aligned with OECD 301 ready biodegradability principles designed to support early-stage R&D decisions and testing prioritisation.
However these predictions do not to replace regulatory laboratory testing.
Ingredient-by-ingredient contribution analysis
A transparent breakdown of each component’s contribution to the final biodegradability score allowing you to identify ingredients that limit overall performance.
Actionable screening report
A concise, decision-oriented report designed to support reformulation prioritization and decisions for laboratory biodegradability testing (e.g. OECD 301).
No data = no charge (data quality)
If available data are insufficient to deliver a scientifically robust estimate you are explicitly informed and no screening fee is charged.
Why use in-silico screening ?
Cost
By prioritizing formulations before experimental testing, in-silico screening significantly reduces R&D costs and avoids unnecessary OECD studies on low-potential candidates.
Reliability
The approach has been evaluated by an independent French sunscreen laboratory, with in-silico results showing good alignment with experimental biodegradability data on three tested formulations.
