  1. 🤖 Everyone is talking about AI. But how many companies are ready for it?

    In our conversations with PET manufacturers, recyclers and packaging companies, we often see the same pattern:

    ✔️ AI ideas exist
    ✔️ Use cases exist
    ✔️ Business value is clear

    But...

    ❌ Product data is fragmented
    ❌ Information is stored in silos
    ❌ Data quality is inconsistent

    The truth is simple: AI doesn't start with AI. It starts with data. That's why we've created a free AI Readiness Self-Test for the PET industry:

    📋 10 questions
    ⏱️ 3 minutes
    📊 Immediate maturity assessment

    Take the test and find out how prepared your organisation really is for AI-driven innovation. 🔗 bab.si/vmjx5

  3. PPWR | Digital Product Passport | AI

    These three issues are among the biggest challenges facing the PET industry today, and they all have one thing in common:

    They all depend on the quality of your product data.

    That's why we've launched a new industry resource page focusing on data sovereignty, product information and digital transformation for PET manufacturers, packaging companies and recyclers. Inside, you'll find:

    ✅ A free Product Data Self-Assessment
    ✅ Expert articles on product data, digital sovereignty and innovation
    ✅ PPWR and Digital Product Passport insights
    ✅ AI readiness for product information
    ✅ Practical workshop offerings
    ✅ Presentation slides from our PETnology session

    If you work in the PET industry and want to understand the impact of product data on compliance, AI and digital sales, this is a good place to start.

  16. Audits in the PET industry: A missed opportunity? 🔎

    Many see audits as a chore. But structured product data can do more:
    It creates transparency, speeds up processes and enables innovation.

    This is becoming increasingly important, particularly in the packaging industry.

  19. How is competitiveness in the PET industry related to data? 🗂️ Quite a lot, actually.

    Our friends at Pimcore have created a new landing page that explores why integrated product information is becoming a key success factor for PET and plastics manufacturers. 🧴

    The page shows how a strong 'data DNA' can help companies reduce manual work, meet regulatory demands and build more scalable digital processes, from fragmented spreadsheets and certificates to connected product, material, production and sales data.

    It's a great read for anyone working at the intersection of packaging, product data and digital transformation. 📈

    And if you’re attending PETnology, you can also use the landing page to book a meeting with someone from the Pimcore team. 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽

  22. Data sovereignty means more than just data availability 🔐

    It means
    • Control over the data model
    • Integration across systems
    • Transparency throughout the product lifecycle

    Only then can true digital sovereignty be achieved. We’ve summarised here why this is particularly relevant for PET manufacturers.

  25. Digital sovereignty isn’t just a buzzword ⚡️

    Digital sovereignty often sounds like a political issue. For manufacturers in the PET industry, however, it’s a very practical question:

    • Who controls my product data?
    • Who can analyse it?
    • Who decides on its structure?

    This question is becoming increasingly important, particularly when it comes to sustainability data. We’ve looked at why data sovereignty is becoming a competitive issue.

  28. Digital sovereignty in the PET industry 🤖
    Thinking about processes, data and systems as a whole

    Many companies believe that all they need is the right software. However, data problems are rarely purely software-related. They are architectural problems. 🛠️

    True data quality can only be achieved when processes and systems are considered together. This is why we prefer to talk about data architecture rather than tools. 📊

  31. AI won’t fix your data.

    At PETnology 2026 (10–11 June, Lake Zurich), we’re addressing the real issue: data control.

    This is something that most PET manufacturers struggle with.

    • Disconnected systems
    • inconsistent product data
    • limited scalability

    We'll also explain why data architecture is the real game changer.

    💡 No clean data → no scalable AI.

  36. What does data DNA really mean? 🧬

    Many people talk about a ‘single source of truth’. But in practice, it’s about more than that. True data DNA means:

    • a consistent data model.
    • clear responsibilities.
    • integrated product information.
    • data under your own control.

    This is becoming increasingly important, particularly in the PET industry. Why? We explain this in our latest article.

  39. Man's best friend - First eradicate the Neanderthals, then biodiversity

    Humans and their dogs drove our evolutionary cousins Neanderthals to extinction
    "Early dogs, bred from wolves, played a critical role in the modern human’s takeover of Europe 40,000 years ago when we vanquished the Neanderthal locals. The Neanderthals, who had lived there for more than 200,000 years. However, within a few thousand years of our arrival, they disappeared...Humans and hunting dogs were, and still are, a deadly combination." >>
