COMPLIANCE
BUILT IN,
NOT BOLTED ON

Every sort decision generates a compliance record — automatically

ρ-MATRIQS™ was designed knowing that Indian industry faces an increasingly complex web of environmental, material, and sustainability regulations. Every kg processed is logged, formatted, and ready for CPCB, EPR, or internal ESG auditors — from Day 1.

ρ-MATRIQS™ eliminates all four cost categories. Compliance records are auto-generated from production data — no separate process, no consultant, no scramble before the return deadline.
Regulatory Coverage

Every Framework.
Already Built In.

Each regulation requires specific data — material type, grade, quantity, timestamp, energy consumed, chain of custody. ρ-MATRIQS™ captures and formats all of it automatically. You are always audit-ready.

🏛️
CPCB — Central Pollution Control Board
✓ SUPPORTED

E-Waste Rules 2022 require documented weight, material type, and handling chain for all regulated waste streams. ρ-MATRIQS™ generates the complete data set automatically on each processed lot — no manual collection required.

  • Annual Return data auto-compiled from daily production logs
  • Every lot weighed, classified, and timestamped at sort
  • Audit trail complete from intake to output — no gaps
  • Export in return-ready format — zero reformatting required
♻️
EPR — Extended Producer Responsibility
✓ INTEGRATED

EPR obligations require complete chain-of-custody records and annual target tracking per material category. ρ-MATRIQS™ issues a certificate per sorted lot, builds the running target ledger, and flags shortfall risk before it becomes a penalty.

  • Certificate issued automatically per sorted material lot
  • Annual target tracking with real-time shortfall alert
  • Chain-of-custody from producer intake to recycler output
  • Certificate-ready report generated on demand — any period
💎
MoM PRISM 5.0 — Ministry of Mines
✓ ALIGNED

India's mineral security policy requires critical mineral identification, grade reporting, and end-to-end audit trails. ρ-MATRIQS™ logs composition data at particle level — the foundation of PRISM-aligned mineral reporting.

  • Critical mineral identification — Li, Co, Ni, REE streams
  • Grade reporting per output lot with sensor-validated composition
  • Audit trail aligned with PRISM 5.0 reporting requirements
  • EV battery and PCB material streams fully tracked
🏭
SRTMI — Steel Research & Technology Mission
✓ CERTIFIED

Steel sector scrap quality standards require traceable, graded input for EAF operations. ρ-MATRIQS™ provides scrap quality data, grade certificates, and furnace feed traceability aligned with SRTMI circular economy metrics.

  • HMS scrap grade classification at belt — Cu/Al/Zn separation
  • Furnace feed quality report per lot — EAF optimisation input
  • Circular economy metrics — recovery rate, yield, energy intensity
  • SRTMI-aligned data format for reporting and submission
🌱
Panchamrit / Net Zero 2070
✓ TRACKED

India's UNFCCC commitments require trackable CO₂ reduction per tonne of material processed. ρ-MATRIQS™ calculates and logs emission intensity in real time — per stream, per shift, per tonne.

  • Real-time CO₂ per tonne tracked per material stream
  • Emission intensity report per shift, week, quarter, year
  • Aligned with NDC scope 1 and scope 2 reporting requirements
  • Feeds directly into ESG dashboard and sustainability reporting
🏗️
Make in India — Industry 4.0 / DPIIT
✓ RECOGNISED

Domestically developed platform with IP protected under Indian patent law. DPIIT startup recognition in process. Qualifies for government procurement preference and PLI scheme alignment.

  • Developed and deployed entirely within India
  • IP held under Indian patent framework
  • DPIIT recognition supports PLI alignment
  • Data sovereignty — all processing on-premise
🔒
BIS / ISO Material Standards
✓ VALIDATED

Material classification aligned with Bureau of Indian Standards and relevant ISO frameworks — including IS 11592 for ferrous scrap and ISO 14040 lifecycle assessment principles for recycled material flows.

  • Classification aligned with BIS IS 11592 scrap grading
  • Output certificates reference relevant IS / ISO grade codes
  • Purity data suitable for use in LCA / lifecycle reporting
  • Grade traceability supports offtake contract compliance
How It Works

Compliance Without
Extra Work

ρ-MATRIQS™ captures and formats compliance data automatically as part of normal production operations — so you are always audit-ready without a separate compliance process.

STEP 01
📡

Automatic Data Capture

Every kg of material processed is logged with full traceability — material type, grade, quantity, timestamp, energy consumed, and sensor confidence level. No manual entry. No spreadsheets. No end-of-month scramble to reconstruct what was processed.

STEP 02
🔗

Chain of Custody — Per Lot

Each material lot receives a digital identity — where it came from, what it contained, how it was classified, where it was routed, what was recovered. Full traceability from intake to output, recorded in real time, not reconstructed after the fact.

STEP 03
📊

Audit-Ready Reports on Demand

At any time — quarterly return deadline, surprise inspection, or internal ESG audit — generate a formatted compliance report drawn directly from real production data. CPCB Annual Return, EPR certificate pack, CO₂ emissions summary — formatted and exportable in minutes.

Every Lot Has a
Complete Digital Identity

Compliance auditors — CPCB, EPR bodies, or internal ESG teams — can reconstruct the complete journey of any material lot. No gaps. No estimates. No manual records to verify.

Manual vs Automated

What Compliance Looks Like
Before and After

❌ Manual Compliance — Today

  • Weighbridge logs compiled manually at month-end — errors common
  • Material type and grade estimated, not measured — audit risk
  • EPR certificates requested retrospectively — batch, not real-time
  • Annual Return prep takes 2–4 weeks of finance and ops staff time
  • Third-party consultant required for CPCB submission — ₹8–25L/yr
  • CO₂ tracking estimated from utility bills — not per stream
  • Surprise inspection = scramble to reconstruct historical records

✓ ρ-MATRIQS™ — After Installation

  • Every lot weighed and classified at the moment of processing
  • Material type and grade measured by seven sensors — sensor-validated
  • EPR certificate issued automatically per lot — in real time
  • Annual Return data exported in under 3 hours — any period
  • No compliance consultant needed — auditor downloads export directly
  • CO₂ tracked per tonne, per stream, per shift — metered, not estimated
  • Inspection = open dashboard, export required period, done
