Recycled plastic with ID: the traceability that allows you to choose with confidence

Recycled plastic with ID: the traceability that allows you to choose with confidence

In an increasingly demanding market, provenance and traceability have become a fundamental value, especially in the recycled plastic sector. Where does the material really come from? Has it been processed responsibly? Can we be sure of its quality and sustainability?

UNE-EN 15343 Certification: Quality and Origin Guarantee

One of our greatest competitive advantages is the incorporation of the UNE-EN 15343 regulation, which certifies the traceability of our recycled plastics. This European standard establishes the criteria that must be followed to ensure that the origin and information of the recycled plastics are completely traceable. This involves meticulous documentation from the collection of the material, through its processing, to the delivery of the final product.

Why is traceability and transparency important?

  1. Consumer trust: In a market increasingly aware of environmental impact, consumers and companies demand clear certifications that ensure the products they purchase are truly sustainable.
  2. Competitive improvement: Having recycled plastic certified according to the UNE-EN 15343 standard distinguishes us in a saturated market, offering an additional guarantee that many competitors cannot provide.
  3. Market opportunities: Some industries are beginning to require certified recycled materials to comply with increasingly strict sustainability regulations.

Digital Transformation: the key to transparency.

To comply with and guarantee the traceability of our materials, we have implemented advanced digital technologies throughout the recycling process. We use specific software systems that record and monitor each step of the plastic’s journey, from its entry into our facilities to its exit as a certified recycled product. This digital integration not only increases the efficiency of our process but also provides our customers with total transparency about the origin and journey of the materials they acquire.

The importance of Eco-Design in creating sustainable plastic packaging

The importance of Eco-Design in creating sustainable plastic packaging

In a world where sustainability has become a global priority, eco-design emerges as a key solution to address the environmental challenges associated with plastic use. At Reciclados La Red by Veolia, we are dedicated not only to plastic recycling, but also to promoting practices that reduce waste generation from its source. Eco-design is one of these fundamental practices.

What is eco-design?

Eco-design is a strategy that integrates environmental criteria into product design, in this case, plastic packaging. It focuses on reducing environmental impact throughout the product life cycle, from material selection to final disposal. The idea is to create packages that are easier to reuse and recycle, thus contributing to waste reduction and more efficient use of resources.

Advantages of eco-design for plastic recycling

  1. Facilitates recycling: By designing packages with homogeneous or easily separable materials, the recycling process is simplified. This improves the quality of recycled material and increases its market value.
  2. Waste reduction: By minimizing the use of materials and opting for those that are recyclable, the amount of waste reaching landfills is reduced.
  3. Resource saving: Eco-design promotes the use of recycled materials and reduces the dependence on virgin resources. This not only conserves natural resources, but also reduces the carbon footprint associated with the production of new plastics.
  4. Improves brand image: Companies that adopt eco-design practices not only contribute to the environment but also improve their reputation among increasingly sustainability-conscious consumers.

Principles of eco-design in plastic packaging

  • Material selection: Use plastics that are recyclable and, where possible, come from recycled materials.
  • Material reduction: Design packages that use the least amount of plastic without compromising their functionality and safety.
  • Modular design: Create packages that can be easily disassembled to facilitate material separation.
  • Reuse: Promote the design of packages that can be reused before being recycled.

Success stories

There are already numerous examples of companies that have adopted eco-design with positive results. From water bottles that use less plastic to food containers that are 100% recyclable, the plastic industry is seeing how these innovations not only benefit the environment, but also companies and consumers.

In conclusion, eco-design is not just a trend, but a necessity in creating sustainable plastic packaging. At Reciclados La Red by Veolia, we are committed to continuing in this direction, offering solutions that contribute to a cleaner and more responsible future. We invite all companies and consumers to join this effort for a world with less waste and more rational use of resources.

Commitment to eco-design is a crucial step towards sustainability. Let’s continue to innovate and work together to create a positive impact on our planet.

Together, we can make a difference!
