Labs worldwide are moving beyond disposables, adopting circular plasticware solutions through innovation, regulation, and rising sustainability demands.

Plastic recycling remains low because systems are confusing and inconvenient. Clear rules and simpler processes can boost participation.

Dr. Prithu Mukhopadhyay, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, shares insights on microplastics and their impact.

As electronics demand slimmer, stronger, and more sustainable designs, Nano Molding Technology (NMT) is emerging as a key innovation.

GLA-based additives improve PLA flexibility and enzymatic breakdown, enabling better lifecycle performance in targeted packaging applications.

Microplastics and nanoplastics are widespread; current studies explore their sources, impacts, and engineering solutions for sustainability.

ALPLA’s new ultra-thin rPET yogurt cups combine high performance with recyclability, aligning with future EU packaging standards and circular goals.

SPE reinforces its role as a technical voice at INC‑5.2, promoting science-based solutions for a practical, global plastics treaty.

Plastics emit 3% of global CO₂. Aligning the value chain—via recycling, clean tech, and circularity—can cut emissions up to 90% by 2050.

VAUDE and BASF launch a net-zero polyamide backpack, showcasing how drop-in sustainable materials can support climate-neutral product design.
