Korozo Group brings recycle-ready flexible packaging to life with Digital Product Passports

Korozo Group (Korozo) is delighted to present its work with R-Cycle to develop and implement Digital Product Passports (DPPs) for its range of sustainable flexible packaging solutions.
In a demonstration on stand 343 in hall 4 at FachPack 2024, prototype spouted pouches made using the company's proprietary KoroRCY film feature a QR code that links directly to the pack’s DPP. Via this link, information such as material type and composition; weight, density and dimensions; PCR content and recyclability is readily available to access and use to ensure the pack is treated responsibly, from manufacture right through to the end of its life.

As an international manufacturer with an important role to play in the future of the industry, Korozo is prioritising work to make flexible packaging sustainable and circular.
Fatih Imre, Technical Account Manager, Consumer Packaging at the company, said: “We know that brands are looking for ways to make sure their packaging is sustainable and give consumers the ability to make responsible choices.
“DPPs enable us to bring the flexible packaging industry’s circular future a step closer. Our recycle-ready mono-material flexible packaging has already shifted the industry in this direction. Showcasing the packs alongside the capability of DPPs is a powerful message to the industry – a fully circular flexible packaging industry is not only achievable, but also on the verge of becoming a reality.”
R-Cycle is a company that works with the packaging industry to realise the potential of DPPs in creating a circular economy. As an open traceability standard from GS1 for sustainable plastic products and packaging, R-Cycle makes relevant information that is automatically recorded during packaging production and filling available and retrievable to the entire value chain. To do this, R-Cycle integrates with ERP systems and solutions to extract the relevant data and create DPPs. As the information is based on an open standard from GS1, it is interoperable with other systems and thus accelerates the automation of digital data exchange for packaging. This all supports the European Commission’s introduction of DPPs, aimed at providing information on the origin and composition to the repair, recycling and disposal of individual pieces – and all relevant steps in between – as part of an effort to move the continent towards a circular economy.
Korozo Group showcases this DPP option and its range of sustainable packaging solutions at FachPack 2024, taking place 24-26 September in Nuremberg, Germany. Korozo Group is located on stand 343 in hall 4.
