Two key associations in brominated flame retardants — the North American Flame Retardant Alliance (NAFRA) and the International Bromine Council (BSEF) — and their member companies are working with US-based materials tracking and identification specialist SMX to sort flame retarded plastics materials. The aim of the partnership is to develop and demonstrate scanning technology

to efficiently scan and separate plastics using a chemical-based hidden “barcode” system and bespoke reader equipment. It will enable automated systems to identify plastics branded with the barcode and route them to the appropriate destination. The technology for the project is being developed by SMX with funding provid- ed by NAFRA and BSEF. “This project has the potential to help support plastics recycling by improving efficiencies, removing unnecessary steps and barriers, and helping deliver the products to the right place more quickly,” said Robert Simon, VP of NAFRA and American Chemistry Council. �
