PROJECT INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION

The proposal of the Veritas project is to explore the possibilities that distributed log technologies (DLTs), and Blockchain technology in particular, can have for traceability in the plastic food packaging value chain. The main objective is to ensure compliance with regulations at all stages of the chain, both preventive and reactive, which is broken down into the following goals:

Facilitate and ensure regulatory compliance through automation to the extent possible.
To be able to immediately detect any non-compliance with regulations.
In the event of an alert, being able to identify the point of failure, as well as easily and immediately trace the entire production chain both forward and backward from that point. The objective of the project is to develop a proof of concept of a traceability solution applicable to the plastic food packaging industry to meet these goals. To this end, the solution is intended to be based on Blockchain or DLT technology, in which the nodes that provide (and validate as decided) information are the companies in the plastics industry participating in the project.
