Polytag strengthens data security with ISO certifications

Polytag’s ISO 9001 and 27001 certificates with QR code packaging tech
Polytag

Polytag, a leading packaging solutions provider, has announced the achievement of two International Standards Organisation (ISO) certifications, reinforcing its commitment to the highest standards of quality, information security, and privacy management.

Polytag has been awarded ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications, demonstrating its dedication to both quality excellence and robust information security.


ISO 9001 underscores the company’s commitment to operational efficiency, continuous improvement and customer satisfaction, while ISO 27001 ensures strong data protection measures and compliance with international security standards.

Together, these certifications provide Polytag’s customers and partners with confidence in its ability to deliver secure, high-quality solutions at scale.

As a supplier of GS1 UK-approved QR codes and invisible UV tags, Polytag tracks packaging lifecycles through data collection and sharing, showing when, where, and how much consumers interact with and recycle packaging.

These ISO certifications validate the security and quality of Polytag’s technology, reinforcing trust among top brands and retailers.

By meeting these internationally recognised standards, Polytag empowers businesses to track packaging throughout the supply chain, enhance transparency, and drive progress toward a more sustainable, circular economy.

Jon Anderson, Chief Technology Officer at Polytag, said: "As we continue to scale our solutions for businesses worldwide, ensuring the integrity, security, and quality of our operations is paramount. Achieving both ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications underscores our unwavering commitment to excellence.

"ISO 9001 reinforces our process-based approach, commitment to continuously improving our offering and dedication to our customers, while ISO 27001 ensures that we meet the highest security standards in managing sensitive information.

"Together, they provide our partners with confidence in our ability to deliver secure, reliable and high-quality solutions at scale.”

Last year in April, not-for-profit company DDRS Alliance, whose members include Circularity Solutions, Recycl3r, ACE UK, Tetra Pak and Valpak, joined hands with Polytag to accelerate the development and adoption of Digital DRS in the UK.

As the launch date for a DRS in the UK is reportedly delayed further until 2028, the two organisations have pledged to work collaboratively and leverage their experience and expertise to demonstrate the viability and convenience of a Digital DRS.

The move ensures alignment of the two leading organisations in the development of Digital DRS and underpins the approach to develop a global blueprint.

The timing of their alignment is motivated by a shared intention to deliver a viable solution for Digital DRS in the UK and other major European countries.

PepsiCo’s Max Your Snacks guide offers insights on the right space, range, layout, points of interruption and the right NPD to make the most of the category. It’s been designed to equip retailers with the tools and insights needed to support category expansion, and shines a light on the importance of price-marked packs (PMPs) within savoury snacks.
