We are proud to announce the launch of the beta version of the INCREACE Recyclability Assessment Tool (RAT)! With the tool, designers and engineers can calculate the recyclability and identify areas for improvement of small electronic household devices.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 🌟 PEZY has 30 years of knowledge and experience in plastic development and engineering, mould making, injection moulding and the use of recycled materials in product design. We don’t just use this knowledge for great projects, we’re also passionate about sharing it with the next generation of product developers! For a few years now, we have enjoyed giving a presentation on plastic product development to first-year students. They are following a module on product design through injection moulding at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam. The aim of the presentation is to show what to consider when developing a product with plastics and using recycled materials. This experience offers students a practical glimpse into the real-world challenges of plastic product development, giving them an inspiring introduction to this fascinating field. A special thank you to Jolande Mooij-Persoon for giving the presentation and offering a behind-the-scenes look into the world of product development. The jar of liquorice is well-earned! 👍

𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗩𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗷𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 💉 At PEZY, we are dedicated to providing students with the opportunity to work on exciting and impactful projects. One notable project from the past year focused on creating a hypodermic needle exchange system for automatic self-filling syringes.   𝗛𝘆𝗽𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 A hypodermic needle exchange system is designed to administer the same dose rapidly and repeatedly, making it ideal for vaccinating multiple animals in quick succession. Farm vets use this tool for tasks such as preventative flock treatments. However, manually swapping the needle after each injection can be time-consuming, and reusing needles raises the risk of cross-contamination.   𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 To address this challenge, Thije Greven, one of our talented students, developed an innovative attachment for existing automatic self-filling syringes. This attachment, commissioned by local veterinary practice Van Stad tot Wad dierenartsen, automatically replaces the needle after each injection. The system features a convenient magazine that holds up to 25 needles, allowing the vet to easily replace it after each set of vaccinations.   Thije: "To me, PEZY is one of the best product development agencies in the Netherlands. The atmosphere in the organization is really good, which makes it a great place to work! And as a student, it is great to work on a project where PEZY's expertise and experience come together with a challenging product that offers many challenges in terms of mechanics, ergonomics, feasibility and usability. "   Jan-Paul Van der Voet (Business Unit Director): “As a student Thije was highly committed to make his project a success. At Pezy we are keen on identifying these students and offer them a job directly after their internship. It’s great to have him on board in our team in Groningen.”   𝗧𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲𝗱... A follow-up student has joined PEZY to further refine and enhance the needle exchange prototype. We look forward to seeing the next steps in this project!

♻️ 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 ♻️ At PEZY, we prioritize reducing environmental impact and maximizing material reuse in our product designs whenever possible. Reusing materials means not only creating products from recycled materials (Design FROM Recycling) but also ensuring they are recyclable and will be recycled (Design FOR Recycling).   A deep understanding of recycling processes is essential for developers to make informed decisions about product architecture and material selection. Thijs Feenstra, Circular Product Design Lead at PEZY, frequently supports clients and fellow developers in integrating recyclability into their product concepts. And what better way to illustrate this than with a hands-on approach?   At our Groningen location, right in front of our pilot factory where we test recycled plastics, we’ve installed five tubes that tell the story of plastic recycling-tracing the journey from discarded electronic devices to new granulate ready for fresh applications. A big thank you to MIREC B.V. and Lavergne for supplying the materials! ♻️ 👉 Get your copy of Design FROM Recycling - Design FOR Recycling: https://lnkd.in/erkMFG9m 🌱 Let's talk about circularity: https://lnkd.in/epXqfXBG

𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲! ♻️ This March, INCREACE is excited to launch the beta version of the Recyclability Assessment Tool (RAT)! What does it do? RAT calculates the recycling potential of electronic devices and identifies areas for improvement through hotspot mapping. Join us on March 26 or 27 for a live introduction to the tool. Calling to all electrical device developers, this is an event you won't want to miss! Let’s work together towards a circular future! #Sustainability #ElectricalDevices #RecyclingRate

💥 The Innovation Imperative: From Idea to Impact 💥 As a well-established brand, innovation is key to staying relevant. With changing technology, lifestyles, and values, consumers expect more from products—more personalization, convenience, sustainability, and connection. Product innovation ensures that brands meet these ever-evolving expectations—and are key to expanding brand presence in emerging markets. In today’s fast-moving world, innovation is no longer a siloed effort—it’s an orchestrated process. Multinationals and brand owners are embedding innovation across their organizations, requiring departments to collaborate seamlessly. The demand for T-shaped professionals—those with deep expertise and broad cross-functional understanding—is higher than ever, as integrating specialisms unlocks powerful synergies. Speed is critical. The challenge is not just generating ideas; it’s making them tangible, feasible, and market-ready—fast. That’s where we excel. We help our partners accelerate innovation by reducing risks, enabling rapid validation, and assembling agile squads to turn concepts into reality. With a pragmatic team of highly skilled specialists and a proven process, we transform vision into impact. 🚀 Join the tour and see how we can collaborate for your brand. If innovation is your priority, we are your partner. Let’s make it happen. 🤝 💡 Turn your vision into real products today: https://lnkd.in/eucjfynY

𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬: 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧! 🌱   Last week, PEZY attended the Paris Packaging Week, where industry leaders explored the future of packaging. The key insight? Brand owners are in a unique position to drive meaningful change—especially with the 2030 PPWR compliance deadline approaching.   𝐓𝐨𝐩 3 𝐏𝐏𝐖𝐑 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 ✅ 𝘕𝘰 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘵—Sustainability requires a multi-faceted approach ✅ 𝘉𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦—Simplify without compromising function ✅ 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦-𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘳𝘴—Leading the shift toward sustainable solutions   The path forward follows the 3R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle—in that order. Prioritizing reduction, designing for reusability, and optimizing recyclability will drive real impact. Minimalist, mono-material packaging is key to balance sustainability with great product performance.   While the consequences of non-compliance remain uncertain, waiting is not an option. PEZY partners with suppliers and brand owners to accelerate the transition to sustainable packaging.   💡 Be a leader in the change.
