R-Cycle at Fakuma 2023
When Digital meets Circular Economy - this is not only the motto of this year's Fakuma, but also captures the essence of R-Cycle. We enable the use of Digital Product Passports for plastic products to drive an efficient circular economy.
Visit us from October 17 to 21 at Fakuma 2023 in Friedrichshafen: Hall ÜO, Booth 16-3 (Start-Up Area). More than 1,500 exhibitors will present the latest innovations for industrial plastics processing here.
Meet our experts and learn more about why Digital Product Passports offer a competitive advantage for you as an OEM or plastics processor.

All stakeholders in the plastics value chain are confronted with strongly increasing information and reporting obligations due to constantly growing industrial and legal requirements. Recyclability audits, the calculation of plastic taxes, EPR regulations or the upcoming EU Packaging Regulation (PPWR) are just a few examples. To provide all required information, plastic products and packaging must be traceable throughout the entire life cycle. To manage the complex information chain easily and automatically, more and more companies rely on an intelligent traceability tool - the Digital Product Passport (DPP).
R-Cycle is the DPP for plastic products and packaging and offers a turnkey software-as-a-service solution that enables stakeholders in the value chain to store relevant data in an interoperable system to enable efficient, standardized and secure data exchange across company boundaries. All relevant information, such as materials, product properties, process data and much more, can be recorded in the R-Cycle DPP - according to industrial and regulatory requirements. The R-Cycle DPPs generated in this way can be retrieved by machine or manually via suitable marking (e.g. QR codes or digital watermarks) on the preliminary and final products.
R-Cycle is the solution to efficiently meet the information demands about your plastic products:
- Regulatory Requirements, e.g. EU Packaging Regulation (PPWR)
- Recyclability Assessments
- Calculation of Plastic Taxes
- EPR Regulations
- Customer Information
- Transparency
- Traceability
- Proof of Ingredients
- Proof of Recycled Content
- Lifecycle Management
- End-of-life Management
- And much more...
The R-Cycle DPP is based on open and global GS1 standards. GS1 Germany has published the guideline "Circular Plastics Traceability", which offers all stakeholders in the plastics value chain a uniform framework to model corresponding cross-company processes and exchange data. R-Cycle was involved in the development of "Circular Plastics Traceability" alongside other partners and offers its turnkey software-as-a-service solution for the application of Digital Product Passports in accordance with the new GS1 Germany guideline. The underlying technology is the cross-industry and internationally established GS1 EPCIS interface (Electronic Product Code Information Services).
