MacDermid Joins Holygrail 2.0 MacDermid Graphics Solutions has joined the Digital Watermarks Initiative HolyGrail 2.0. Facilitated by AIM, the European Brands Association, HolyGrail 2.0 is a pi- lot project with the objective to prove the viability of digital watermarking technologies for accurate sorting and consequently higher-quality recycling, as well as the business case at a large scale. MacDermid is one of more than 100 companies and organizations from the complete packaging value chain, which are part of HolyGrail 2.0. The initiative has ambitious goals to solve the complexities surrounding the recycling of post-consumer plastic packaging for a truly Circular Economy. Digital watermarks are imperceptible codes covering the surface of consumer goods packaging.These codes can be read by cameras and encode a wide range of attributes such as manufacturer, SKU, type of plastics used and composition for multilayer objects, food vs. non-food usage, etc. The information can be used throughout the entire packaging value chain.Ultimate- ly, when the packaging reaches a waste sorting facility, the digital watermarks can be detected and encoded on the sorting line,which then is able to sort the pack- aging in corresponding streams. This would result in better and more accurate sorting streams, thus conse- quently in higher-quality recyclates to be re-used, sup- porting a Circular Economy.
