Government of Canada Commences Testing of Database for Regulatory and Sustainability Data

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia & TORONTO, June 14, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Peer Ledger is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract with the Government of Canada for the testing of EcoChemDB, its ground-breaking database qualified for funding under Innovative Solutions Canada. 

In this project, Peer Ledger is delivering a centralized immutable enterprise database system for testing. Representative mock data will be used to test EcoChemDB’s ability to collect and provide data for products in commerce across Canada. During the project, the database will be tested for its ability to act as a resource for government, supply chains, consumers, recyclers, and disposers. The Government of Canada will work closely with Peer Ledger to provide feedback to address any issues and incorporate user suggestions.

Key Features of the EcoChemDB Platform:

1.    Product Supply Chain Feeds - The EcoChemDB platform will be tested for taking multi-tier supply chain input feeds or digital product identifiers.

2.    User-Friendly Interface - EcoChemDB will be tested for intuitive interfaces that allow users to access product information via the scan of a 2D barcode (e.g., QR code).

3.    Real-Time Updates - EcoChemDB will be tested for automatic updates to ensure that users have access to the most current data.

4. Data Security - Encryption, access and immutable controls, and user authentication will be tested to ensure that user data is protected against unauthorized access or modification.
