Dell Utilizes VMware’s Blockchain Tech to Track Recycled Packaging

SEATTLE (Waste 360): Software provider VMware announced a partnership with Dell Technologies to track Dell’s recycled packaging items via blockchain technology.

Under the partnership, VMware is providing its blockchain solutions to track and trace recycled plastic, in which end users can view the origin of the recycled material—from what kind of plastic it was and from where it was recovered.

Dell has an existing supply chain for recycled material that comprises aggregators who collect the plastic, recyclers who process the waste and the manufacturer who takes that recycled material to make packaging for Dell laptops. VMware’s blockchain solution will support each transaction between the aggregator, recycler and manufacturer.
