About the Session
The Recycle Chain is a Value Chain
Tues 15 Nov, 11:10 AM – 11:40 AM (30 Mins) • Presentation Area I/Main Stage
What does the packaging market need to enable large scale recycling? A sustainable, reliable, simple and cheap technology for sorting is key to recycling. This enables high-value fractions based on criteria like: Food/Non-food, single-/multilayer, toxic/non-toxic, and more.
This new sorting technology delivers a profit to every stake-holder in the value-chain. Sustainability and simplicity imply: no need for extra ink for print-purposes, efficient embedding of sorting-key dots into plastics and easy reading with limited computer power. Using straight-forward, single-purpose digital watermark technology, all value-chain participants can harvest the added value coming from fast-growing market demand for recycled materials.
