What is the Tracer Workshop about?
We intend to stimulate a cross-industry discussion to harmonise the use of tracers into plastic packaging materials. The workshop will focus on PET as a start and intends to create a precedent for other plastics later on.
We therefore would like to reach out to all interested parties (brand owners, green dot organisations, EU institutions, plastics converters, resin/masterbatch producers, recycling line and optical detection machine vendors, recyclers, waste management companies, research institutes, etc.) in order to have an open dialogue on this subject. The main objective is to talk and solve this problem as an industry (e.g. very similar approach as the introduction of barcodes on a pack) and align on basic principles and paths forward.
Please note that only technical topics will be discussed during that meeting. Commercial discussions won't be allowed.
