COMMUNITY: 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.

IN.PACK Machinery, comprising of Amutec, Mobert and SCAE, is a leading designer and manufacturer of a full range of machinery for flexible packaging (Bag on Roll, Loose Bag, Pouch, Wicket and Wire Welding machineries). IN.PACK is committed to allowing its customers across different end-markets and applications to achieve their ambitions in sustainability through a diverse suite of different solutions and materials, and has installed over 5,000 machines worldwide.
