An industry with a lot of weight The plastics industry is vital to the European economy and its plan to Recovery. Producers of plastic raw materials, transformers and Plastics recyclers, along with machinery manufacturers, represent a value chain that employs more than 1.5 million people in Europe in more than 55,000 companies, most of them SMEs that operate in all European countries. In 2019, these companies generated a turnover of more than 350,000 million euros and contributed more than 30,000 million euros to European public finances. For the development of FOOTPLASTIC, and in order to mitigate pollution plastic, a consortium of companies has been created that comprehensively collects the different agents participating in the value chain, in order to obtain innovative recycling techniques. On the one hand, BIRZIPLASTIC, as the leader of the project and dedicated to managing post-industrial plastic waste and market them in the form of recycled technical composites, is in charge of collect plastic waste for its separation and revaluation and KAYTEK DIGITAL BUSINESS, for its part, as a company specializing in the integration of IoT and Blockchain technology, provides a software platform (Kaytek Platform) specific for the digitization of industrial processes that facilitates traceability of the data from its arrival to the subsequent phases of the process of revaluation.
