Description

IMERO is a tech company which focuses on labelling

They offer a service ensuring that the labels on food products are accurate and comply with the relevant legislation. Companies send them their labels and some basic information about the product, and IMERO makes sure that the labels contain all the required information. Incorrect labelling leads to recyclable packaging ending up in a landfill or contaminating recycling streams. Which would be a pity.

IMERO's Label Compliance Check tool:

  • Improves recyclability and correct waste sorting: The tool ensures accurate on-pack recycling information (required by Italy's packaging recycling obligations, for instance). Accurate information means that consumers and facilities can sort packaging correctly, increasing the quantity and quality of recycled materials and helping to close material loops.
  • Prevents packaging waste: By helping manufacturers avoid labelling errors, the tool prevents product recalls, re-labelling and the disposal of entire batches (both product and packaging). This significantly reduces waste.
