Sustainable packaging initiative R-Cycle now accessible as open community

Source:Adsale Plastics Network Date :2022-05-12 Editor :JK

R-Cycle starts into a new phase as an open community. The first official general assembly was held on May 3 at R-Cycle member Multivac's corporate site in Wolfertschwenden, Germany.

 

R-Cycle was founded in 2020 as an initiative of various technology companies and organizations along the entire life cycle of plastic packaging with the aim of establishing a digital traceability standard in the market for plastic packaging via digital product passports. This prepares the technical basis for more precise waste sorting and higher-quality recycling to drive an effective circular economy.

 

Dr. Benedikt Brenken, Director of the R-Cycle Community, introduced, "Now that the development and testing of the technical infrastructure has been successfully completed in spring 2022, the rollout is taking place. From now on, R-Cycle is accessible as an open community for all companies, institutions and stakeholders that have a legitimate interest in the field of circular economy for plastic packaging and want to use, support or further develop R-Cycle themselves."

 

Right at the start of the community, the circle has grown by 6 more companies to now a total of 19 members. The community offers access to a broad network of application-experienced partners and know-how in digitalization and sustainability.

The first official general assembly was held on May 3.


In addition to the general assembly at management level, the exchange takes place via specialized working groups that deal specifically with the various application areas of digital product passports.

 

The R-Cycle platform can be networked with all common software systems as well as a wide variety of production equipment - from film or injection molding machines to processing, printing and filling machines to waste sorting and recycling systems.

 

The traceability technology behind R-Cycle is based on GS1 standards - the leading global network for cross-industry process development and a founding member of R-Cycle.

 

By providing a digital product passport, all recycling-relevant data is automatically recorded during the production of plastic packaging and made retrievable via suitable markings (e.g. digital watermarks or QR codes) on intermediate and end products. This allows waste sorting facilities to accurately identify packaging and form recycling-friendly and single-variety fractions.

 

In addition to improving product sustainability, manufacturers and processors of plastic packaging also benefit in terms of process efficiency, quality and compliance with legal information requirements.

 

Guido Spix, Managing Director MULTIVAC, remarked, “We had a lively discussion regarding R-Cycle's strategic goals within several presentations and a high-profile roundtable. Digital product passports offer enormous potential for an efficient circular economy of plastic packaging.”
