An additive manufacturing product tracking system to improve traceability and manufacturer responsibility to support the remanufacture of raw materials.

Batch.works是一家英国圆形制造商，将3D打印和回收材料相结合，以进一步提高增材制造的资源效率。在这个项目中，我们将开发产品标记和跟踪技术，以提供更好的产品可追溯性，使我们能够收集和回收产品，并附上完整的历史记录。这将使我们能够监控每批材料/塑料经过了多少个回收循环，以确保我们的产品保持高质量，并为我们的再生塑料原料提供最大的终身价值。这样做，我们还可以提供更详细的供应链可见性，这将使我们对尽量减少废物负责。

Batch.works is a UK circular manufacturer combining 3D-printing and recycled materials to further improve the resource efficiency of additive manufacturing.In this project we will develop a product marking and tracking technology to provide greater traceability of our products allowing us to collect and recycle products with full history attached. This will allow us to monitor how many recycle loops each batch of material/plastic has been through to ensure our products remain high-quality and to deliver maximum through-life value for our recycled plastic feedstock. In doing so, we can also provide more detailed supply chain visibility which will keep us accountable for minimising our waste products.
