Plastics – Applications of NIR Spectroscopy in Recycling and Packaging
Our mobile NIR spectroscopy tools help packaging designers, recyclers, and quality managers identify and evaluate plastic materials — quickly, reliably, and on site.
Use these tools to validate recyclability, support packaging compliance, and reduce waste in industrial material flows.
Reflectivity & Sortability Check
Check if your plastic packaging is NIR-detectable — a key requirement for real recyclability.
- See reflectivity in % and get a pass/fail result
- Generate PDF reports for PPWR and QA documentation
- Identify limitations in black or coated plastics
Multi-Material Films Check
Flexible packaging is often made of multiple polymers. This tool:
- Detects layered materials and PA content
- Helps determine mono-material recyclability
- Supports design-for-recycling initiatives
