WEBINAR: Circularity Challenge in the Plastic Industry

Discover more about Circularise, an open standard for sustainability and transparency in the plastics industry. It will enable the industry to communicate regarding sustainable practices and attach absolute proof to materials. Making the plastics supply chain more fair, transparent and profitable. Join us on July 22, 2020 at 10 a.m. CEST

Most manufactured items don’t have a way of telling you what they’re made of, or where they have originated. This is an important roadblock to circularity.

Transparency on the other hand enables circular economy practices as it allows for the exchange of information that is vital for the overall functioning of a circular value chain. Thus sharing data in an open, decentralised data platform that is accessible to all stakeholders will become a key part of an increasingly more transparent and sustainable plastics industry.

FOUNDING MEMBERS

In 2019, Circularise — supply chain transparency startup enabling material tracking — partnered with Domo Chemicals and Covestro to develop an implementation of its technology in the plastics industry.

The group is developing an open standard for sustainability and transparency that enables industry stakeholders to communicate regarding sustainable practices and attach absolute proof to materials. The value of having this standard developed by the industry, instead of just one or two companies is in avoiding a central powerful authority and giving equal rights to all participants.

BENEFITS FOR THE ENTIRE VALUE CHAIN

For material suppliers and processors, as well as moulders, Circularise PLASTICS’ participation means increased material value and trust in your production. For OEMs and brand owners, it helps on the road to achieving sustainability targets and a strengthened brand position, by revealing a product’s origin and transparency on its environmental impact. The objective is to create a strong consortium of companies to set an industry standard for transparency regarding e.g. recycled content and other sustainable practices.
