Polytag uniquely combines a series of proven technologies to provide a solution for tag and tracing for recycling applications and beyond.
Our current focus is to enable legislators and brands to move into the circular economy by implementing Digital Deposit Return Schemes.
What is a Deposit Return Scheme (DRS)
A DRS will see a deposit added to the price of in-scope drinks containers at the point of purchase, which would be redeemed when consumers return their empty drinks containers.
If introduced, we anticipate that a DRS will help reduce the amount of littering, boost recycling levels for relevant material, offer the enhanced possibility to collect high-quality materials.
Most European countries are intending to introduce DRS by 2024. Polytag can enable a digital implementation of DRS.
How does Polytag tackle Digital DRS?
Polytag is an enabling technology platform that allows brand owners to print unique codes to each unit of a product.
With the use of a consumer facing app, customers can scan the code and claim their deposit.
The system is completed during the normal kerbside collection or on Polytag-enabled return points.
The system implements a DRS without the drawbacks of extensive Reverse Vending Machine deployment.
