Problem
Manufacturers face challenges in efficiently sourcing recycled and bio-based plastics due to a fragmented supplier landscape and a lack of streamlined procurement processes. Recycled polymers vary significantly in quality depending on source, batch and processing history, with data often scattered or missing—quality is frequently only confirmed at the production line. Comparing options, managing logistics, and ensuring material quality can be time-consuming and costly, making recycled plastics unreliable compared to virgin polymers.
Solution
Ambio offers a digital sourcing platform that simplifies the procurement of recycled plastics by connecting manufacturers with a curated network of trusted suppliers in Europe. The platform enables users to quickly identify and compare recycled plastic options based on their specific product and production needs. Ambio qualifies every recycled plastic grade and tests each delivery against the converter's production requirements, providing structured quality data and batch history. The company handles the entire sourcing process, from translating requirements into material properties to arranging freight and test plans. Act as a principal supplier, Ambio controls the supply chain and takes responsibility for quality assurance. Every order adds structured data that sharpens the company's AI-driven matching, quoting, and delivery with each subsequent order.
