POLYSECURE - News, Events, Publications

We live and work for our customers, for the development and realisation of sustainable technology solutions.
And we deliberately do not publish some of our development news here. Even though our main work takes place behind closed doors, this page is intended to give you a small insight into Polysecure's publications.

Great success for Polysecure

FDA approval for markers in plastics with food contact

Polysecure  can announce the compliance with the food contact regulations in Europe for our fluorescent markers in food contact plastics. Our markers require only minimal concentrations (ppm range) and are toxicologically safe according to FDA approval. This approvals opens up completely new possibilities for plastics processors worldwide who rely on FDA-compliant additives.  and is not only a milestone for food contact products, but also opens doors for medical devices and other applications. We can't wait to take advantage of these new opportunities together with you!  

Please contact Polysecure here for further details.

IDcycLIB: Progress in battery recycling!

Polysecure was part of the IDcycLIB project, which is setting new standards in lithium-ion battery recycling. With electro-hydraulic shredding (EHZ) at REELEMENTS and centrifuge technology from CEPA, battery materials could be efficiently separated and directly reused. Our technology, TrackByStars® and BRANDPROOF®, optimizes recycling processes and material identification. Project partners: Carl Padberg Zentrifugenbau GmbH, Fraunhofer ISC, Fraunhofer IIS, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Pure Devices GmbH, REELEMENTS GmbH, iPoint-systems GmbH, EurA AG, BASF SE, Leclanché.  Read more in the Fraunhofer ISC press release.

 

Effects of fluorescent tracer additives in material-recycling

From the Institute of Ecology at Pforzheim University

A recent study from the Journal of Applied Polymer Science shows that fluorescent tracer additives are not affected by recycling and do not change the material properties of plastics. The study was conducted by Maximilian Auer, Jannick Schmidt and Jörg Woidasky from the Institute for Industrial Ecology at Pforzheim University. This finding supports our technologies for the circular economy, such as TrackByStars® and Sort4Circle®. To the study

Event: VDI symposium with the topic of

Plastics in Medical Technology

Together with Röchling Medical, we presented our innovative TrackByStars® technology, the ideal basis for digital product passports and reliable traceability of every plastic product at the Plastics in Medical Technology symposium. This solution is perfectly tailored to the needs of the medical technology industry, supports compliance with many legal requirements and offers new approaches to recycling.
