MES, quality & passports for recycling plants

One continuous thread from scrap gate to passport.

Where the thread breaks today

Paper trails snap under audit pressure

Most plants still stitch intake tickets, blending sheets, CoAs, and customer PDFs by hand. CircularThread keeps one filament — from gate camera to production board to passport QR — so nothing falls off before the truck leaves.

Intake IDs drift

Scrap arrives with a handwritten ticket. By wash and extrusion, nobody can swear which supplier lot fed the blend.

QC hangs in the air

Lab results live in a spreadsheet. They never snap back onto the work order that produced the pellet.

Buyers want proof now

A customer asks for recycled-content evidence. Assembling CoAs, PDFs, and passport links takes a day you do not have on the dock.

How the thread holds

Receive. Transform. Prove.

Gate intake, shop-floor flow, and buyer-facing proof — one filament, not three disconnected tools.

01

Receive

Inbound scrap becomes a traceable raw lot with supplier, material, and label context.

Gate & reception

Give every inbound load an identity

Capture supplier scrap, classify material, and lock a lot ID before anything enters wash or blending — including AI-assisted intake when the gate photo is ready.

  • Supplier and material intake with durable lot IDs
  • Classification, LER codes, and verification on one record
  • Bag labels and reception history without a second system

MES & quality

See the floor as a live production flow

Work orders move across Launch → Sorting → Washing → Drying → Extrusion → Cooling → Bagging → Weigh — with QC decisions and NCR holds on the same genealogy thread.

  • Visual production-flow board for operators, not a dense table
  • Per-WO stage strip so teams know exactly where a batch is
  • QC measurements, batch decisions, and NCR holds in one place

Digital product passport

Ship with recycled-content proof attached

Publish a tokenized QR passport buyers can open in any browser — composition, recycled content, mechanical QC, and downloadable CoA / DPP evidence in ES or EN.

  • Public passport pages with QR access (no guessable lot URLs)
  • Recycled / pre / post-consumer breakdown plus MFI, density, Izod
  • CoA, passport PDF/PNG, and plant-branded document pack

Getting started

A focused demo, then your plant on the thread

Tell us about the plant

Share materials, volumes, and which flows hurt first — intake, production board, QC, or passports.

Walk the thread together

We run a live workspace through reception, production flow, quality, reports, and passport.

Go live on your floor

Brand it, set roles, install the PWA, and put operators on the real thread.

Questions plants ask first

Plastic recycling plants and processors that need auditable lot traceability, shop-floor production flow, quality records, and digital product passport documentation — without paper logs.
