ENGEL, One of the World’s Leading Manufacturers of Plastic Injection Moulding Machines, Joins R-Cycle

ENGEL has joined the cross-company R-Cycle community to drive the establishment of digital product passports for plastic products. R-Cycle thus creates the basis for a highly developed recycling process by automatically recording recycling-relevant information as early as the product manufacturing stage.

ENGEL is actively committed to building a circular economy for plastics. The aim is to be able to use recyclates in a significantly wider range of applications with innovative processing methods and digital solutions.

 

“The prerequisite for this is information transparency along the entire value chain, the cycle of information, so to speak,” emphasizes Dr. Gerhard Dimmler, CTO of the ENGEL Group. “Only if you know which material is processed, the desired product properties can be guaranteed. The digital product passport makes it possible to trace the life cycle of materials and plastic components.”

 

 

 

The link to the digital product passport is made via corresponding markings on the products, for example digital watermarks or QR codes. Using the additional information, waste sorting facilities can identify recyclable plastic products more precisely and provide single-variety fractions for recycling. This is the key to being able to recycle plastics of equal or even higher value.

 

Packaging Europe Awarded R-Cycle in the Category Driving the Circular Economy

“With ENGEL, we are gaining another global player and experienced partner that consistently designs its products technologically for sustainable business,” adds Dr. Benedikt Brenken, Director of the R-Cycle Community. “Digital product passports offer enormous potential for the circular economy – we now need to implement this together.”

IN.Pack Machinery Joins R-Cycle – Setting New Standards for Plastic Recycling Through Digital Product Passports

IN.Pack Machinerey, a leading producer of flexible Packaging machinery with a sustainability proposition, joins the R-Cycle community to help the Packaging industry in its journey towards a circular economy.

R-Cycle has the goal of setting an open standard for the tracing of recyclable Packaging across the value chain. The technology allows for the recording of all recycling-relevant information from the production process in a standardized digital product passport, which is applied to the Packaging, and is made available to the recycling industry through a data platform. The data from the product passport are retrievable via an appropriate marker (e.g. digital watermarks) on the Packaging. This allows waste sorting systems to correctly identify fully recyclable Packaging and deliver high-quality recycled materials, which can go back to the market, contributing to the climate neutrality goals described in the EU’s European Green Deal.

 

Pietro Santoro, CEO of IN.Pack Machinery, said: “We are excited to join R-Cycle, an initiative which is backed by leading players in the industry and has the potential to make a real impact on recycling technologies, which are key to a circular economy.

Digital Product Passport Enables Circular Economy for Plastic Products

R-Cycle – the digital product passport for plastic products – enables all stakeholders in the value chain to easily exchange recycling-relevant information in an open standard format across company boundaries and make it accessible for various applications, such as improved waste sorting. A total of 26 leading companies and organizations will present R-Cycle at K 2022 as part of a joint booth in the Circular Economy Forum (OA 16 / CE 07).

Dr. Benedikt Brenken, Director R-Cycle, explains, “More and more leading companies along the entire value chain are relying on R-Cycle and benefiting from the added value of standardized data exchange along the life cycle of plastic products. At K 2022, we will be showing a wide variety of applications and product samples that have already been manufactured in high volumes and whose data can be accessed via automated digital product passports.”

Looking at today’s waste streams, recyclable products – especially plastic packaging – cannot be sorted with sufficient accuracy for high-quality recycling. With R-Cycle, production machines read and record relevant data in a digital product passport, route it through the value chain, and make it retrievable via appropriate marking (e.g., QR codes or digital watermarks) on semi-finished and final products. In this way, waste sorting lines can easily identify recyclable packaging and form recycling-friendly and single-variety fractions. This is the basis for obtaining high-quality recyclates and building a functioning circular economy.

In addition to improving product sustainability, manufacturers also increase their process efficiency and product quality by using the digital product passport. Accurate information about source materials accelerates and optimizes production, while capturing proprietary product characteristics adds value for customers in the downstream value chain.

“Data exchange is the key to an efficient circular economy,” Dr. Brenken adds. “The data is already available at the individual stations of the value chain. They just need to be transmitted, aggregated and made usable via an open standard. This is exactly what we offer with R-Cycle.”

R-Cycle was developed to market maturity by various technology companies and organizations along the entire lifecycle of plastic products and can be networked with all systems (e.g., PPS, ERP) and production facilities: from film, blow molding or injection molding machines to processing, packaging and filling machines to waste sorting and recycling lines. The traceability technology behind R-Cycle is based on GS1 standards – the leading global network for cross-industry process development and a founding member of R-Cycle.

R-Cycle is an interoperable infrastructure offered as software-as-a-service. In addition, an open community exists for interested companies, institutions or stakeholders who want to use, support or further develop R-Cycle. Members gain access to a broad network of application-experienced partners and know-how in digitalization and sustainability. The goal is to realize individual applications, generate benefits by networking the value chain and jointly establish R-Cycle worldwide. Interested companies can obtain all information about membership at: www.r-cycle.org/en/community

R-Cycle was awarded the prestigious “Sustainability Award” in the category “Driving the Circular Economy” in September 2022. The award was presented during this year’s “Sustainable Packaging Summit” in Lisbon. The event is the leading international forum for sustainable packaging.

K 2022 addresses megatrends of our time

From October 19th to 26th, 2022, the world’s leading trade fair for the plastics industry, the K in Düsseldorf, will once again open its doors to visitors from all over the world. The K fair looks back on a great 70-year success story.

The K 2022 is once again the international “showcase” in which many innovations relating to the topics of plastics machinery, plastics production and plastics processing are presented.
The K 2022 addresses three megatrends of our time: climate protection, circular economy and digitization. The interest in the K 2022 was huge in advance.

It is noticeable that many industry companies are now resolutely moving in the direction of more sustainability and are sometimes pursuing very innovative approaches. The plastics industry in Germany has started the joint initiative “Your Plastics” and offers a unique information portal that presents the plastics industry‘s answers in a coherent way e.g. The German Association of Plastics Converters (GKV) and its member associations will be present during the trade fair from October 19th to 26th, 2022 in Hall 8a, booth F11-1, and as part of the brand “Your Plastics” will offer a contact point for networking and information about the plastics processing industry.

During K 2022, the plastics industry also has the opportunity to discuss its answers to future questions from the younger generation. The transformation to a circular economy, the supply of raw materials and energy, a shortage of skilled workers and the perception of the material are the main challenges for the plastics processing industry. And these topics are of course also in the focus of the K fair 2022. The program for young visitors at the K 2022, the initiative “kai”, offers again bundled information for choolchildren, trainees and students at the K 2022.

For the plastics industry, the K in Düsseldorf is offering another great opportunity for personal contacts with the plastics community from many countries. The international atmosphere makes the K an outstanding event.
