Digital product passport R-Cycle wins the German Sustainability Award

Source：Adsale Plastics Network Date ：2021-07-23 Editor ：JK

R-Cycle, the digital product passport for sustainable plastics, receives the German Sustainability Award 2021 in the "Packaging" category. The award is conferred by the German Institute for Service Quality (DISQ), the German news channel ntv, and DUP UNTERNEHMER (German Entrepreneurship Platform for Digitalization and Sustainability).

 

Plastic packaging has become an indispensable part of our everyday lives. However, the problems associated with the growing global demand for plastic packaging cannot be overlooked and are becoming increasingly acute.

With R-Cycle, production machines automatically record recycling-relevant properties in a digital product passport, route it through the value chain, and make it available in the recycling process via a corresponding marking on the packaging.


For example, even in the "recycling land" of Germany, only about 6% of plastics from domestic waste are recycled to make equivalent new products. The largest percentage of over 65% is burned in waste incinerators.

 

One reason for the low recycling rate is the present difficulty to identify the different compositions of plastic packaging in the recycling process. Sorting is considerably improved when a digital product passport is affixed to plastic packaging to display this information. R-Cycle is such a digital product passport. It is based on an open standard and is machine-readable via special markings.

 

R-Cycle automatically registers all recycling-related properties during packaging production and passes this information along the value chain. Waste sorting plants can then identify recyclable packaging and form recyclable fractions. This is the basis for obtaining pure and high-quality recyclates as part of efforts to set up a functioning circular economy.

"We are delighted to receive this award," stated Dr. Benedikt Brenken, Director of the R-Cycle Initiative. "Digitalization and sustainability are two megatrends that we have integrated beneficially in R-Cycle. The use of a digital product passport, as also required by the European Union, offers enormous potential to increase the recycling rate of plastic packaging."

 

R-Cycle is under development to market maturity by leading companies and organizations along the entire plastic-packaging life cycle. Besides improving product sustainability, manufacturers can increase their process efficiency and product quality by using a digital product passport. Detailed information about the raw materials used speeds up production and registering the product properties adds value for customers in downstream processes.
