Polytag and Pellenc Partner in New Innovative Uv-Tag Detection Equipment

Last week, the Packaging Team attended Polytag’s Ecotrace event in London.

The event focussed on the innovative Polytag Ecotrace Programme that deploys a wide network of invisible UV tag detection equipment in specific recycling centres across the UK – collaborating with Pellenc ST to provide a cutting-edge data platform for packaging information.

This allows brands using Polytag’s on label UV-tag to gain access to data in realtime at barcode level to see the recyclability of their packaging. This collaboration provides instant traceability of packaging and enhanced material recovery with great success; read more here.
