Packaging

Back and side panels combine storytelling, regulatory information, and design to strengthen packaging communication and build brand loyalty.

Mechanical recycling can change the color response, surface quality, and mechanical performance of thermochromic polypropylene used in smart packaging.

Apoorva Kulkarni’s doctoral research helped shape ASTM D8646-26, which estimates temperature-dependent biodegradation behavior in aquatic environments.

Better collection systems can reduce contamination and improve the quality of recycled plastic feedstock before sorting, washing, and extrusion begin.

Reinforced active bioplastics combine mechanical strength, moisture resistance, and antioxidant performance to extend food shelf life.

Digital tools bring real-time data, traceability, and automated updates to LCA, improving environmental decisions across the value chain.

Sensory packaging uses sight, touch, sound, smell and taste to shape brand perception and create memorable product experiences.

PFAS restrictions are forcing plastics suppliers to reformulate high-performance materials without sacrificing heat, friction, or durability.

The AI Injection Molding Ecosystem is not about predicting the future. It connects materials, simulations, machines, molds, sensors, and AI into a single ecosystem that enables better decisions in real time.

Flexloop uses solvent extraction to remove inks, adhesives, odors, and contaminants from flexible films, enabling higher-quality recycled resin.
