The importance of traceability

The keys

Environmental impact

Plastic pollution is a global crisis, and traceability helps identify the sources of plastic waste, enabling targeted solutions and prevention strategies.

Public health

Traceability ensures the identification and mitigation of toxic plastic materials that could harm human health.

Consumer awareness

It empowers consumers to make informed choices, encouraging the purchase of products with traceable and sustainable plastic.

Accountability

Traceability holds manufacturers, producers, and users accountable for their plastic waste, encouraging responsible practices and reducing the burden on the environment.

Policy development

It provides data for evidence-based policy formulation and effective regulations to combat plastic pollution.

International cooperation

Traceability facilitates collaboration between countries, sharing best practices and tackling plastic pollution collectively.

Waste management

Traceability allows for efficient waste management by tracking plastic from production to disposal, enabling better recycling and disposal strategies.

Innovation

Traceability stimulates innovation in sustainable packaging, recycling technologies, and alternative materials.

Economic opportunities

It promotes the development of a circular economy, creating jobs and economic growth in the recycling and sustainability sectors.

Circular economy

By tracking plastic, traceability supports the transition towards a circular economy, where plastic is reused, recycled, or repurposed instead of being discarded.

Supply chain transparency

It enhances transparency by tracing plastic throughout the supply chain, reducing the risk of illegal practices.

Long-term sustainability

By implementing traceability, we can ensure the long-term preservation of the environment for future generations.

How does it work?

With DIS, the traceability and quality of the plastic are guaranteed with Blockchain technology

What is the blockchain technology?

Blockchain technology is a decentralized digital ledger that records and verifies transactions across multiple computers or nodes. It operates on a distributed network, ensuring transparency, immutability, and security. Information is stored in blocks that are linked together in a chain, creating a permanent record. Blockchain is often associated with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, but its applications extend beyond finance, including supply chain management, healthcare, voting systems, and more. Its key features include decentralization, transparency, security, immutability, and potential for smart contracts.

Transparency

Employing blockchain or DLT can enhance the traceability and transparency of plastic waste. By utilizing these technologies, we create an immutable and decentralized ledger that records every transaction and movement of plastic products. This ensures the integrity and reliability of the traceability information, making it resistant to tampering or manipulation.

Data campure and recording

 We provide functionality for capturing and recording relevant data about the plastic products. This includes information such as the type of plastic, weight or volume, manufacturer details, production date, and any other relevant data points. Accurate and comprehensive data recording helps establish a transparent record of the plastic’s origin and subsequent handling.

Automated workflows

To maximize efficiency, we sign up your processes and specifications. This integration enables seamless data exchange and avoids duplication of efforts.

Sustainability

We facilitate collaboration among various stakeholders, including manufacturers, consumers, recycling facilities, and policymakers. We encourage partnerships and initiatives that promote sustainable practices, such as the digitalization of the extended producer responsibility document. By fostering collaboration, DIS helps create a collective effort towards a more sustainable plastic waste management ecosystem.
