Material quality determines market viability
Measurable. Comparable. Verifiable.
The successful use of recycled plastics depends entirely on their quality. Unlike virgin materials, recyclates originate from different feedstocks and processing routes.
As a result, properties, quality and performance can vary significantly. A structured evaluation is essential to ensure safe and reliable use.
plastship makes material quality transparent – as a solid basis for decisions in sourcing, application and compliance.
Material quality is more than a data sheet.
It results from the interaction of:
Quality database and structured comparison
Our Monitored Materials create transparency in the recyclate market.
We collect, structure and compare material data to make recyclates measurable and comparable across: applications, feedstocks and time.
Data-driven evaluation of recyclate quality
Material quality only becomes truly usable through structured data. By combining laboratory analyses, feedstock information and continuous monitoring, we create a reliable basis for decision-making.
The material benchmark is the condensed result of structured testing.
It translates complex analysis data into:
Applications of the benchmark:
a technically sound and verifiable quality assessment.
Reliable testing. Clear interpretation. Better decisions.
We qualify recyclates and feedstocks through structured laboratory analyses across several key dimensions:
Our laboratory offers specialised testing and analysis for plastics recycling: We assess recyclates for optical quality, odour, composition, and technical properties to make their quality measurable and comparable.

The analysis of recycled materials serves not only to collect data, but also to inform practical decision-making.
Structured testing allows materials to be assessed in a targeted manner and approved for specific applications.
Typical applications
Our material quality services are used for:
We conduct comprehensive analyses that provide valuable insights into the composition and properties of your recycled plastics.
Our tests, such as odour analyses and benchmark testing, allow you to objectively compare your recyclate quality with the market.
Through targeted batch testing, we assist you in the creation of Certificates of Analysis (CoAs) to ensure product quality.
Our structured data compilation helps you gather and analyse relevant information to make informed decisions regarding material usage.
Our suppliers maintain continuous contact with us and are regularly audited to ensure compliance with the highest quality standards. Transparency and reliability form the foundation of our partnerships.
Our benchmarks provide reliable test data to support compliance, approvals and customer requirements.
By combining data, analysis and benchmarking, material quality becomes a reliable decision-making foundation.
This reduces risks in:
At plastship, material quality is integrated into:
Through structured testing, data processing and integration into sourcing processes.
Whenever materials need to be evaluated, compared or approved for applications.
A structured method to translate complex test data into comparable quality metrics.
Because recyclates vary depending on feedstock and processing, static data sheets are not enough.
Through a combination of laboratory testing, feedstock data and structured evaluation.
