CIRCPLASTX (Circularity Data Space for the plastics industry) was launched on March 4 and 5 at IPC in Oyonnax. The project aims to create a data space for the plastics industry to promote circularity by sharing information across the value chain. In response to growing pressure to use more recycled materials and offer greater product transparency, this project seeks to facilitate traceability and connect different players (suppliers, recyclers, NGOs, regulatory bodies). It aims to help SMEs and other players by offering a secure, one-stop shop for exchanging data on products, materials and manufacturing processes. CIRCPLASTX will develop three main services: “Material as a service” for recycled plastics, data quality for substances and LCA data assessment. This project is essential for achieving the environmental objectives of the Green Deal and industrial digitization, contributing to competitiveness and innovation in the plastics sector.
