Semi-industrial trials to commence in the next phase of the EU Digital Watermarks Initiative, driven by AIM \u2013 European Brands Association, and powered by the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.<\/i> <\/b><\/p>\n

BEAVERTON, Ore., Sept. 7, 2021 \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Digimarc Corporation<\/a>\u00a0(Nasdaq: DMRC) announces today it has entered semi-industrial trials, the\u00a0next stage of\u00a0development\u00a0for\u00a0intelligent waste sorting\u00a0as part of the Digital Watermarks Initiative\u00a0HolyGrail\u00a02.0., driven by AIM, the\u00a0European Brands Association, and powered by the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.<\/p>\n

With the commencement of semi-industrial trials,\u00a0HolyGrail\u00a02.0 is\u00a0on track to launch the highly anticipated phase of in-market demonstrations and industrial-scale trials, with the potential for digitally watermarked products to be added to stores in Denmark, France, and Germany by the first half of 2022.<\/p>\n

As the selected digital watermarks technology provider, Digimarc is working with the two machine vendors, Pellenc ST and Tomra, to develop add-on modules for their detection sorting units. Testing is scheduled to take place via trials in two test locations in October 2021. Demonstrations of the\u00a0prototype\u00a0sorting detection unit will\u00a0happen\u00a0at Amager Resource Centre\u00a0(ARC) in Copenhagen on October 19 and\u00a0November 18, 2021.\u00a0Interested stakeholders can register\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

About Digital Watermarks Initiative\u00a0HolyGrail\u00a02.0
\n<\/b>The\u00a0Digital Watermarks Initiative HolyGrail 2.0<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0driven by AIM\u00a0–\u00a0European Brands Association and powered by the\u00a0Alliance to End Plastic Waste \u2013\u00a0is a pilot project with the objective to\u00a0prove the technical viability of digital watermarks for accurate sorting of packaging waste as well as the economic viability of the business case at large-scale. Digital watermarks are imperceptible codes, the size of a postage stamp, covering the surface of a consumer goods packaging and carrying a wide range of attributes. The aim is that once the packaging has entered into a waste sorting facility, the digital watermark can be detected and decoded by a high-resolution camera on the sorting line, which then \u2013 based on the transferred attributes (e.g.\u00a0food vs. non-food) \u2013 is able to sort the packaging in corresponding streams. This would result in better and more accurate sorting streams, thus consequently in\u00a0higher quality\u00a0recyclates\u00a0benefiting the complete packaging value chain.<\/p>\n
