Standardization

Ensuring consistent quality and quantity is central to building secure supply chains for any material. For plastic recyclates, this can be an especially daunting task, making trust in the material and supplier the key to any procurement decision. 

That is why Cirplus is at the forefront of standardizing the data availability and quality of recyclates and feedstocks. By implementing the DIN SPEC 91446 standards throughout our platform, we push sellers to provide more detailed information, enabling buyers to compare, analyze, and model product specifications before committing time and resources to inadequate materials.

Our ultimate goal is to build relationships of trust between buyers and sellers and streamline the flow of circular plastics between them. By applying the DIN SPEC and encouraging sellers to provide greater detail and documentation about each and every listing, we are creating a common framework of trust. Our pre-vetted suppliers understand that the more information they share, the more they will sell.

Yet standards are only the beginning of quality control. Materials must be tested against the standards and the information provided. This is why Cirplus has partnered with leading testing laboratory across the globe to coordinate the tests you require and deliver digital results on a one-off or batch-by-batch basis.
