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

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.
