Building & Construction

Hybrid stabilizers and smart extrusion enhance PVC pipe durability, recyclability, and energy efficiency for a sustainable future.

A new mortar made with recycled polyurethane foam offers lightweight thermal insulation for floors and roofs, advancing circular construction.

Recycled polypropylene enters pipe systems under rising mandates, yet impurity control ultimately governs crack kinetics and service life.

Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, pushes conventional limits for manufacturing sensors used for monitoring environmental changes and conditions.

This is the second in a two-part series discussing adjusting your injection molding process to incorporate PCR.

Some microorganisms can “eat” plastic by using it as a carbon and energy source. These tiny organisms could inspire the recycling methods of tomorrow.

Researchers are trying a different approach to composite building materials by using sand as filler and polypropylene waste as a binder.

New research reveals how optimizing PVC formulations and extrusion parameters can slash energy costs by up to 60% while maintaining product quality.

Polystyrene (PS) is a thermoplastic that industries widely recognize for its lightweight nature, durability, and excellent protective properties.

Polymer extrusion wastes a significant amount of energy on inefficiencies. Here is how modern technologies are locking down every lost watt.
