Shining new light on plastic traceability: Fluorescence fingerprint analysis
The need for traceability in plastic resource circulation
In the global push towards a circular economy, improving the quality, traceability, and availability of recycled plastics is becoming vital in industry and society. Traceability systems that indicate "how much recycled material is used" play a key role in delivering accurate product information and provide value for both manufacturers and consumers. By offering clear and transparent data on the amount of recycled content, manufacturers demonstrate a concrete commitment to environmentally responsible manufacturing, as well as meeting regulatory requirements. This, in turn, builds customer trust and enhances the competitiveness of their products. For consumers, transparent information such as "X% recycled material used" empowers them to make environmentally conscious informed choices when selecting products.
