19 Sep 2024 --- Polytag has received over £100,000 (US$132,000) from the Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) Centre of Excellence, funded by the Welsh Government, to install four Polytag Plastic Detection Units across the country as part of an innovation project. By scanning Polytag’s UV watermarks affixed to packaging, the detection units gather valuable data on the types and quantities of materials being recycled at the barcode level, shedding light on the true composition of the recycling waste stream at any given time. These Plastic Detection Units will be placed at material recovery facilities (MRFs) in Conwy, Gwynedd, Pembrokeshire and Anglesey.
