We make plastics reusable – more efficiently, sustainably, and market-oriented.
The KISS project (AI-based qualification, control and optimisation of material flows to close regional resource loops) forms the foundation for an initiative implemented by RIGK GmbH, supported by Technologieland Hessen. In collaboration with renowned partners, we are developing an AI-powered platform that efficiently analyses and classifies used plastics and identifies optimal recycling pathways. The database and technologies help reintegrate plastics into the value chain quickly and sustainably.
The plastics processing and recycling industry faces the challenge of finding sustainable solutions to improve the quality of recyclates and reduce carbon footprints. KISS offers exactly that – right here in Hessen, in Germany and across Europe – through our high-performance technology.
KISS doesn’t just stand for "Keep It Short & Simple" – it’s also a guiding principle that reflects the heart of our project: simple and efficient solutions for a better circular economy.
Send us your material samples!
We offer the opportunity to analyse your plastics in a state-of-the-art, AI-driven system to sustainably improve material quality and identify the best recycling routes. Take advantage of this chance to bring your materials up to the latest standards in recycling technology.
The best part: all of this takes place right here in Europe – powered by our technology and expert network.
Our Partners and Their Contributions to the KISS Project:
With PlastCert, KISS offers comprehensive testing of mechanical, rheological and physical properties. This is crucial to prepare your recyclates for the next production cycle and to ensure consistent quality.
RAM ensures that the optical properties of your materials meet the highest standards – particularly important for the packaging and film industry. We measure opacity and analyse surface defects over 1m² for accurate material assessment.
Thanks to Veridis, we can precisely determine the composition of your plastics, ensuring consistency and quality. This is essential for processing performance and maximising recycling potential.
► MFR (ISO 1133), Density (ASTM D792), Moisture Content (ASTM 6980), Ash Content (ISO 3451), Impact Testing (ISO 179), etc.
► Opacity and defect analysis over 1m², classified by size (<0.05mm² to >1mm²)
► Automated counting of defects
► Thermal polymer analysis (determining polymer proportions by percentage)
► Heavy metal analysis via XRF
