How much recycled plastic is really in a given product? Maximum transparency is a fundamental factor to achieve quotas and sustainability targets, whether it’s in terms of consumers, authorities or the manufacturers themselves. Manufacturers who want to disclose how much plastic recyclate is actually used in packaging can only do so if they include the entire value chain. This is a complex challenge. Blockchain technology offers an innovative solution as it allows for seamless tracing along the entire value chain.
