Veridis
The goal of Veridis is to improve the uncertainty within plastic recycling through increasing the scale of plastic samples being measured based on Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Current samples are measured on the basis of 1 to 20 milligram, which we are going to increase up to 500 grams. Where we focus to measure 500 grams. This will increase statistical certainty of measurements, confirm plastic types, measure degradation and the effect of additives on plastic. Thereby increasing the value of recycled plastics, increase the supply of high quality recyclates as well as reducing the amount of plastic being incinerated or dumped. We can add 100 to 200 euros of commercial value per tonne of recycled plastics.
