🔦 Exploring cost-effective sorting solutions for recycling We're happy to share insights from the latest report by Eunomia Research & Consulting! Three advanced sorting technologies were evaluated to determine the most cost-effective option: Object Recognition (OR), Digital Markers, and Chemical Markers. The findings show: 💡 Object Recognition (OR) is the most economical technology for both HDPE and PP rigids, outperforming marker technologies in both high and low-cost scenarios. 💡 The key cost drivers are licensing cost, paid to print the relevant marker technology. OR systems, while possibly requiring a subscription to access databases, avoid these printing expenses. ↪ This makes OR the lowest cost solution per tonne of material sorted with similar sorting effectiveness in all three technologies.

Why tethering bottle caps to bottles is a game-changer for circular packaging 🌍 As of July 2024, the EU's Single-Use Plastics Directive now requires that single-use beverage containers under 3 liters have caps that stay attached during use and storage. This small change makes a big difference, ensuring that bottle caps are easier to recycle. 🧴 Designed to reduce litter: Bottle caps are one of the most common items found during coastal cleanups. Tethered bottle caps help prevent them from becoming litter, keeping our beaches and communities cleaner. 🐬 Protecting marine wildlife: Loose plastic caps pose a serious risk to marine life. By keeping them connected to bottles, we help ensure they don’t end up in the ocean, protecting our precious marine ecosystems. ♻️ Circular economy in action: True circularity in plastics starts with smart design. When products are made to be easily collected, sorted, and recycled, we’re taking meaningful steps toward a more sustainable, circular future. This initiative is a reflection of our commitment to design-for-recycling principles. Curious to learn more about circular design?
