HolyGrail 2.0
We are proud to be a part of the Digital Watermarks Initiative HolyGrail 2.0. The initiative is driven by AIM - European Brands Association and powered by the Alliance to End Plastic Waste. There are over 160 companies and organisations from the complete packaging value chain that have joined forces with the ambitious goal to assess whether a pioneering digital technology can enable better sorting and higher-quality recycling rates for packaging in the EU, driving a truly circular economy. The objective of the initiative is to prove the viability of digital watermarking technologies for accurate sorting and the business case at large scale.
