Plastic Circular Economy Assurance Solutions.
Intertek’s CircularAssure is a risk-based quality assurance program, which comprises a program of assurance, testing, certification services and unique insight-enabling analytical technologies that can be applied across the recycled plastic value chain. From waste collectors and recycling companies to polymer producers and brands, CircularAssure provides plastics circular economy solutions to ensure quality, safety, and optimise value of recycled plastic materials and products including:
* Waste collectors and mechanical recycling companies can improve profitability of their recycled plastic product through insight-enabling testing to determine the quality of materials that have come from recycling.
* Chemical recycling companies will be able to boost process efficiencies and understand the variability of materials through CircularAssure’s inline chemical analysis technology and quality control testing service.
* Polymer producers will be able to assess how processable new recycled materials are through lab-scale processing and performance test programs. Additionally, CircularAssure will help them to evaluate materials against safety and performance specifications for their intended use through regulatory-led analysis such as migration testing which is required to ensure food packaging compliance.
* Brands will be able to demonstrate the levels of recycled content where the novel materials are used in products through recycled content certification.
