Collaborative project: Open Circular-Collaboration-Platform for Sustainable Food Packaging from Plastics - subproject D (COPPA)
Project
Project code: 281A707D20
Contract period: 15.07.2022
- 14.07.2025
Budget: 130,053 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: value chains, packaging, data management, recycling, information-communicationtechnology, sustainability
Various informational and market conditions, whose development can be traced back to a linear economy, currently also prevent an increased closing of the loop as well as the reduction of material use in the application case of plastic packaging for food. The project objective of COPPA is therefore to develop and demonstrate an open and scalable Circular Collaboration Platform (CCP) that creates the following functionalities for recyclers, plastic reprocessors / converters, packaging manufacturers and food retailers: · Establishing seamless tracking of plastics · Enabling a better exchange of information for automated quality proof, prediction of availability, etc. · Proof of recycled content and recycled quality of products and material batches · Proof of origin or owner as a dynamised property per batch/ main ingredient. · Development of a smart contract model for value chains - in the sense of democratised and notarised plastics processing. · Provision of decision-making aids for the reduction of packaging material and the use of recycled material as a conceptual approach or as a control instrument (dashboard) · Precise verification of sustainability effects through reduced material consumption and increased use of recycled materials (CO2 or resource savings according to relevant material groups). With the aim of enabling both material savings and an increased recycled content in plastic packaging through networking, control and tracking, the CCP is to bring together digital solution approaches as a system solution; in accordance with the FAIR principles, data should be "Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable". The project result should represent a practical demonstrator (Technology Readiness Level 5-6), which at the end of the implementation phase will be accessible to all companies in the entire food chain in a non-discriminatory and freely available manner.
