Leveraging Taggant Technology to help promote a circular economy for plastic

The environmental menace caused by the vast amounts of plastic produced and used around the world, which is projected to reach 700 million metric tons in 2030 has led to a growing sense of alarm at the harmful impact that is having on the global climate situation. That is where the concept of the circular economy which is supported by the use of Nano MatriX plastic tracers is gaining in popularity around the world. By using plastic tracers for anti-counterfeiting and tracking and tracing operations, businesses around the world can continue to use plastics for economic purposes and it thereby prevents them from damaging the environment in the shape of toxic waste. This upcycling of plastic waste causes a veritable revolution in the lifestyle of the material thereby saving energy and negating the negative impact of the use of plastics.

Using NanoMatriX Plastic Tracers to Create a Circular Economy for Plastics

There is nothing better than using NanoMatriX plastic tracers powered by waste plastic taggant or tracer technology to allow automatic detection and sorting of recycled plastic. This kind of tagging is achieved by applying a tracer signature to the label, sleeve or the plastic item itself. What this also helps with is the selective sorting of end-of-life plastic products by equipping them with a unique signature indicating polymer type and grade in complex mixtures detectable by special equipment.

Matrix- Mark Taggant Solutions-Chemical Markers/Tracers Nonpareil

MatriX-Mark Taggants from NanoMatriX are ideal when it comes to authenticating and forestalling counterfeiting attempts across the lifecycles of plastics, polymers and plastic parts. These empower brands, especially manufacturing ones to put in place end-to-end product traceability of plastics and polymers, thereby maintaining their product composition integrity. If a product is described as being composed of 100% recycled material then that is what it has to be at all stages- from the recycler to the consumer.

MatriX-Mark taggants do not in any way impact the properties or appearance of polymers or other tagged products and also do not get damaged by the application of any shear forces like in the case of extrusion, allowing them to be deployed with any type of polymer type-polyethene, polypropylene, PET, and other thermoplastic materials.

Why Matri-Mark Taggants are Better Than Others

MatriX-Mark Taggants are known to be better than other comparable offerings due to several reasons:

A very low concentration required(we offer 10 ppm detection in clear as well as naturally colored polymers).

We provide very accurate detection systems for high-speed sorting

Different taggant models compatible with diverse and distinct plastic or polymers types.

An infinite number of unique elemental signatures can be generated.

Can be used for an infinite number of use cycles and extrusions.

Our tracers can be used across all printing technologies-rotogravure, flexo, screen, intaglio, inkjet, TTP and offset.

As these taggants are inorganic, there is no adverse impact of exposure or UV radiation.

Very robust and chemical resistant.

Complex formulation, making reengineering impossible.

Proprietary forensic detection capability.
