Plastiks

Plastiks is a digital verification and traceability platform developed by Barcelona-based Nozama Tech. It helps businesses, recyclers, waste recovery organizations, and institutions document the collection and recycling of plastic and other solid waste. Using blockchain records, AI-assisted checks, and human verification, the platform converts documented recovery activities into traceable digital certificates and Circular Credits. These records support environmental claims, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) reporting, and circular economy initiatives. Plastiks is particularly relevant to organizations seeking independently reviewable evidence of waste recovery rather than relying solely on self-reported recycling figures. Its approach also connects recovery operators with businesses financing environmental activities.

Core Features

Plastiks provides digital infrastructure for verifying waste recovery and connecting the resulting evidence with sustainability and regulatory reporting. Its system combines documentation checks, blockchain traceability, and tools for managing verified recovery credits.

Waste Recovery Tracking: Records recovered material quantities, collection locations, timestamps, and participating recovery organizations, providing traceability across collection and recycling activities.
The Solution
AI-Assisted Verification: Checks recovery documentation for anomalies and inconsistencies, alongside human review and accreditation of participating recovery organizations.
Blockchain-Based Digital Certificates: Converts verified recovery records into blockchain-anchored Digital Recovery Certificates with QR codes, allowing stakeholders to inspect the supporting evidence.
Circular Credit Management: Issues traceable Circular Credits against verified waste recovery, with credit allocation, transfers, and safeguards intended to prevent double counting.
Material and Batch Traceability: Supports inventory uploads and batch-level tokenization, linking recovered or recycled materials to corresponding digital credits throughout transactions.
EPR and Sustainability Reporting: Provides dashboards, recovery metrics, and audit-ready documentation for ESG disclosures, EPR reporting, and other circular economy compliance requirements.

Closing Insights

Plastiks has worked with several prominent organizations addressing different plastic waste challenges. FC Barcelona has used its technology for plastic recovery initiatives, while Bayer 04 Leverkusen partnered with the company to support the recovery of plastic bottles in Brazil. It has also partnered with the UNDP on blockchain-based plastic recovery in Armenia.

The platform is expanding beyond plastic-specific credits toward broader Circular Credits covering verified solid waste recovery. Its website reports more than six million kilograms of traced and recovered waste and verified entities across over 20 countries.

Businesses considering Plastiks for EPR compliance should confirm whether the relevant authorities recognize its Circular Credits, as verified waste recovery does not automatically replace mandatory recycling obligations, reporting requirements or EPR fees.
