Packscan
Analyse a packaging Item and get a detailed report on how to optimise
You know which packaging you would like to optimise but want to know how. For this we offer the Packscan, a technical analysis of your packaging on which we build a concrete roadmap how to optimise it with our help or by yourself.
How the PackScan works
2. DISSECT
Our plastic experts dissect the packaging completely, so every single part and kind of material can be analysed in our laboratory.
4. RECOMMEND
We create a concise report with recommendations for your packaging, listing what is bad, what can be better and what actually is scoring good.
1. Collecting samples
We start with collecting your packaging samples and technical datasheets
3. EXAMINE
Based on this we examine what will actually happen with the packaging when it’s disposed and how well it scores on our Truly Recyclable scale.
5. OPTIMISE
Let us help you optimise your packaging and make it future proof. We’ve helped companies in cosmetics, beverage, food and much more optimise their packaging.

Why make your packaging Futureproof?
Only 14% of the plastic packaging used globally collected finds its way to a recycling plant, but 9% will actually be recycled. Most of it still ends up in landfill or worse in fragile ecosystems.
A recyclable material doesn’t mean the actual packaging will be recycled. So what makes packaging difficult to recycle? This has to do with color pigments, size, glue connections, labels and much more. But it’s also important to take into account consumer behaviour, recycle guidelines and analysing the packaging efficiency.
For this we created the FutureProof Packscan, combining practical experience with acknowledged recycling standards created by the European and North American association of recyclers.
Combining standards with a pragmatic approach
our PackScan iS build on renowned guidelines and standards
Plastics Recyclers Europe (PRE) is an organization representing the voice of the European plastics recyclers who reprocess plastic waste into high-quality material destined for the production of new articles.
The Association of Plastic Recyclers is an international trade association representing the plastics recycling industry
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation develops and promotes the idea of a circular economy with practical tools and guidelines.
Being a signatory of the European Plastic Pact and being part of the development team of this important pact
Being a signatory of the Dutch Plastic Pact
As TU delft alumni we are in close contact with the circular economy developments at the Delft University of Technology.
Keeping a close eye on future legislation concerning plastics, packaging, additives and more

FAQ
Yes we can! We redesign existing packaging but also design completely new sustainable packaging.
Plastic is our expertise but we also understand and analyse other materials like paper, glass or metal.
For the plastic scan we analyse the product itself, however in our recommendations we do look at other packaging models like reuse or refill
