  • the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for monitoring the manufacture of consumer products.
  • the present invention is described with reference to containers and in particular plastic containers which are in particular fed to a product cycle. It should be noted that the invention can also be used for other types of products. Nevertheless, at least some of the advantages or configurations described are particularly suitable for a product cycle of consumer goods such as bottles, for example plastic bottles.
  • plastic packaging for example, is inorganic products in terms of waste management and can therefore only be fed into the technical cycle after it has been used.
  • the resources are reprocessed chemically and / or mechanically and, depending on the requirements, the resulting products are made available.
  • the simplest way of avoiding waste in the sense of a technical cycle is to reuse the first product, for example a reusable PET bottle.
  • Another variant of recycling is the recycling of plastic packaging (for example down-cycle products or thermal use, etc.).
  • the original resource is gradually lost for both variants.
  • companies today are increasingly striving for a technical C2C cycle economy from a long-term ecological and economic point of view.
  • These companies, governments and complementary independent organizations are trying to promote such a C2C solution in a regulatory and informative manner (“Cradle to Cradle”).
  • the circular economy can be viewed as a series of independent value chains belonging to different industries, B2B (business-to-business), B2C (business-to-consumer) (e.g.
  • a C2C circular economy requires a high degree of vertical company concentration, which is being tried on the market, for example, by integrating recycling companies and thus increasing controllability. There is, however, no end-to-end vertical integration of all industries involved in a C2C circular economy.

  • information can in turn be stored, for example, which relates to this further processing operation, for example on which machine the further processing took place or which other materials (such as labels or a sterilization medium) were used.
  • This respective information can be followed up during the entire life cycle of the consumer product and ultimately even during the recycling steps of the respective product.
