One of the hindrances of using recyclate is the challenge of finding suitable recyclate grades for specific products. The correlation between product/process requirements is difficult to make, and in most cases, field studies need to be carried out to validate the material selection. In this perspective, Matrix Tool helps to find suitable recyclate (recycled plastic material or rPM) for converters who want to replace virgin plastics. Furthermore, compounders and material traders can use this tool to sell their materials more efficiently.

Do you face problems in finding the right recyclate or rPM (recycled plastic material) for your virgin material or are you looking to increase the publicity of your recyclate? Then the Matrix Tool is the perfect candidate for you. Over the years the tool has been used by several companies (both producer and supplier) Some of the use cases of the Matrix Tool are as follows: face problems in finding the right recyclate or rPM (recycled plastic material) for your virgin material or are you looking to increase the publicity of your recyclate?

-One converter wanted to use recyclate HDPE instead of virgin HDPE in their product. In the beginning, the virgin material properties were determined through tests. Those properties were put into the matrix tool. After that, the tool provided a ranking of the potential PE or PE/PP recyclates using the database. From the ranking, 3 recyclates were chosen and the suppliers were contacted. The recyclates were ordered and tested for verification of their properties. After the tests, one out of the three recyclates was recommended for their product.

-One supplier sells polyolefins, ABS and PS recyclates. They can see the demand on the "Request Tab" of the matrix tool. In addition, they can see the overview of the producer requests using the filters. This in turn also helps them to optimize their recyclates according to the demand. They expect to increase the sale of their materials to several hundred tons per year using the tool.

European Commission has the goal of reaching a circular economy and plastics have a crucial role in reaching this goal. Plastics are used in many sectors such as packaging, building and construction, textiles, consumer products, transportation, electrical and electronics, and so on. Thus it is important to close the plastic loop to reach a sustainable and resource-efficient economy. One of the ways of achieving this goal is to use recyclate (recycled plastic) as an alternative to virgin material for new plastic products. Although there is a high demand for recyclate material in the market, a very small amount of products is made from recyclate. This indicates the presence of some challenges in the uptake of the recyclate. Therefore, the main goal of the Interreg Di-Plast Project was to increase the uptake of recyclate among the companies. The Matrix Tool was developed for this purpose.
