The EU pushes companies to increase the amount of recycled plastic in their packaging. To get there, the supply of high-quality recycled material must grow — and much of it comes through sorting facilities. The problem is, consumers don’t always know the rules. Packaging, random items, even electronics end up in the plastic stream — and just one wrongly sorted package can contaminate an entire batch.
Under the Single-Use Plastics Directive (EU) 2019/904, PET beverage bottles must contain 25% recycled plastic by 2025 and 30% by 2030. Meeting these targets depends on designing packaging that is truly recyclable. But for brand owners, reliably testing recyclability has been nearly impossible.
Circpack by Veolia offers a way forward: detailed reporting on how packaging performs in a real sorting process. In practice, a prototype package is released into the actual waste stream. The key question is: how do you track and report its journey along an automated line?
To test packaging designs at scale, Circpack by Veolia turned to RFID technology. Brand owners or packaging suppliers send in 100 samples dedicated for testing.
The system gives every package a unique RFID tag — a digital fingerprint. As the tagged items move along the sorting line, readers placed at key points detect and record their path. In the end, each package’s journey can be mapped in detail.
