Plastics DPP

The plastics industry faces a growing environmental crisis, with plastic waste accumulating in landfills, oceans, and ecosystems worldwide. The need for better plastic waste management and recycling is urgent.

Need for Digital Product Passports in Plastics:

Plastic products are often single-use and difficult to recycle due to contamination or mixed-material designs. DPPs can help manage the lifecycle of plastic products and support recycling efforts.

1. Recyclability Information: DPPs can provide clear information on the recyclability of plastic products, helping consumers separate recyclable plastics from non-recyclable ones. This information can also assist recycling facilities in better sorting and processing plastics.

2. Material Sourcing and Sustainability: DPPs can track the source of plastic materials, ensuring that they come from sustainable sources (e.g., recycled plastics or bio-based alternatives), and encourage the use of eco-friendly plastic alternatives.

3. Reducing Plastic Waste: By guiding consumers on how to reuse or recycle plastic items, DPPs can help minimize plastic waste and promote a more circular plastic economy.
