Plastics Second Life – By-Product: INNEPLA’s certified approach to industrial circular economy

INNEPLA has obtained the Plastics Second Life – By-Product (PSV By-Product) certification for a wide range of products, confirming its concrete commitment to the valorisation of internally generated plastic by-products and to the development of an industrial model based on circular economy principles.

The certification applies to materials and finished products manufactured using internally generated by-products, originating from INNEPLA’s own production processes and managed according to certified criteria of traceability, quality and reuse.

What is the Plastics Second Life – By-Product certification?

Plastics Second Life – By-Product is an environmental product certification scheme that verifies the correct management of plastic materials classified as by-products, namely pre-consumer industrial residues that:

• originate from a production process whose primary purpose is not their generation
• can be reused without treatments beyond normal industrial practice
• are effectively reused in the same or subsequent production processes

This model allows materials to remain within the industrial loop, preventing them from becoming waste and supporting a genuine circular economy.

INNEPLA internal by-product: control and traceability

At INNEPLA, the PSV By-Product certification applies to internally generated plastic by-products, directly produced within its manufacturing processes.

This approach ensures:

• direct control over material origin
• full traceability throughout the production flow
• stable technical and performance characteristics

The by-product is therefore treated as a valuable production resource, reducing waste and optimising raw material usage.

Certified products with industrial performance

Products manufactured with Plastics Second Life – By-Product certified material maintain the technical characteristics required by industrial applications:

• high mechanical resistance
• lightweight structure
• long-term durability
• reusability

Demonstrating that sustainability and industrial performance can effectively coexist.

Concrete environmental benefits

Certified internal by-product management delivers measurable environmental benefits, including:

• reduction of industrial waste
• lower consumption of virgin raw materials
• optimisation of existing resources within the production cycle

Added value for customers and supply chains

Choosing INNEPLA products certified Plastics Second Life – By-Product means relying on solutions that combine:

• certified sustainability
• material traceability
• industrial reliability

A strategic advantage for companies addressing ESG requirements and environmental policies.
