Material Intelligence
PCR material performance is managed across the full material lifecycle, from selecting and approving material through to running it consistently in production. The MI Suite gives technical teams a single structured environment for all of it.
Increase qualification and approval speed
Approving new PCR supply involves alignment with design teams, converters, recyclers, laboratories, technical teams, marketing, procurement, circularity teams and more. Each of those steps generates documents, decisions and dependencies that need to be tracked and completed in sequence.
Without a structured workflow, qualification runs on email threads, shared drives and manual status tracking. Stakeholders work from different document versions. Timelines slip because one party is waiting on another with no visibility into where the bottleneck is.
Every party works from the same record — no version drift across email and drives.

One project record, every stakeholder
The Material Intelligence Suite runs the entire qualification process in one place. Lab test results, TDS data, certification documents, trial batch COAs, stakeholder sign-offs and process parameters are all held in a single project record with a defined workflow, a live timeline and access for every party involved. Recyclers, converters, brand QA teams and internal packaging development can all work from the same record simultaneously. When the qualification completes, the full documentation package is already assembled and auditable.
For teams qualifying multiple grades or suppliers in parallel, or managing qualification alongside ongoing production, the platform makes the workload visible and trackable rather than distributed across systems and inboxes.
Performance-based specifications
Initial specifications are built from lab data and TDS values. Production reveals what the material does under real processing conditions: how IV variation affects cycle times, where L*a*b* drift becomes visible in finished parts, which contaminant parameters correlate with line stoppages, and which do not.
The Material Intelligence Suite connects qualification data and production observations in the same material record. Over time, specification windows are refined from observed performance data rather than initial values. The result is a specification that reflects how the material actually behaves, which is more useful for procurement negotiations, supplier alignment and internal approval processes.
Spec window narrows as observed performance replaces initial TDS values.
Batch monitoring across the supply chain
Once material is approved, the MI Suite tracks every incoming delivery against the qualified specification. COAs are ingested, 10+ parameters are recorded including IV, L*a*b* colorimetry, moisture content and contaminant profiles, and automated alerts flag when values trend toward specification limits across consecutive deliveries.
Production observations are linked to material deliveries. When a quality event occurs, the investigation starts with a traceable record covering the material from the point of production through to the line, across every organisation in the supply chain. Teams monitoring over 100 PCR batches per quarter across 5 or more supply chain organisations have reduced average investigation time by 35%.
Contract and delivery tracking, spend data and market price context sit in the same environment, so procurement and quality teams are working from the same operational picture.
The MI Suite applies to any PCR grade or supplier you work with, not only material sourced through Resycure.
One platform, applied across resins, suppliers, applications and lifecycle stages.
