This article documents trinamiX’s feature on the Plastverarbeiter October 2025 cover. It remains part of our Design for Recycling knowledge series.
Published October 2025 | by Solid Scanner Team
At the K 2025 trade fair, the German industry magazine Plastverarbeiter chose a strong visual for its October issue:
a trinamiX PAL Two handheld NIR scanner, symbolizing how cutting-edge spectroscopy turns Design for Recycling into reality.
Solid Scanner – the official trinamiX distributor for Germany, Austria and Switzerland - provides direct access to this technology for packaging, recycling, and material R&D teams.
The story behind the cover
The Plastverarbeiter title story, “Design for Recycling - aus endlich wird unendlich”, explores how advanced sorting and analysis technologies unlock true circular economy potential.
trinamiX’s mobile NIR solution plays a central role: it allows manufacturers and recyclers to evaluate NIR-detectability of plastics already during product design - not only on sorting lines.

PAL One and PAL Two - a new generation of handheld spectroscopy
As the PAL One, the PAL Two supports the established trinamiX apps for Reflectivity & Sortability Check - measure NIR detectability of black or colored plastics [learn more].
The PAL One furthermore supports
- Multi-Material Films App - identify PE/PA and other film combinations [details] &
- Correlation App - compare spectra against reference materials for QA and R&D use
Together, these applications make the PAL Two as well as the PAL one indispensable tools for packaging designers and recyclers preparing for PPWR compliance.
Proven in practice - the Mosca success story
A current example from Plastverarbeiter shows the impact of mobile NIR analysis:
Mosca GmbH, a leading strapping band manufacturer, uses trinamiX spectroscopy to verify NIR detectability and material quality throughout production.
“The acceptance of the trinamiX solution was very positive. Handling is simple, the identification of contaminants is straightforward, and the NIR detectability of the bands can even be tested during ongoing operations.”
- Dr. Martin Bussmann, Director Global Innovations Plastics at Mosca GmbH

Where to learn more or request details
The October 2025 issue of Plastverarbeiter highlighted how trinamiX’s handheld NIR technology makes Design for Recycling a practical, measurable reality.
Solid Scanner continues to provide this technology to packaging, recycling, and R&D teams across DACH region who want to evaluate NIR detectability directly in their design process.
