Flexible Packaging

Gen Z’s anemoia is reshaping packaging—neo-vintage design blends nostalgic cues with modern function, giving legacy brands an authentic edge.

Explore how MDO units and EVOH resins enable recyclable mono-material packaging, meeting European PPWR rules while improving strength, barrier, and sustainability.

PCR use doubled since 2019, yet 2025 packaging targets slip from supply, costs, and infrastructure gaps—what must change to meet 2030 goals?

Colombia and Latin America advance circular plastics with eco-design, R&D, and regulation, proving circularity moves forward without a global treaty.

Deep in the western Pacific Ocean, researchers investigated the microorganisms contributing to plastic degradation.

Plastics compliance is shifting from regulation to strategy, driving costs, investor pressure, and innovation across UK and global supply chains.

The incorporation of recycled polymers into transparent applications challenges engineers to control haze, color shifts, and light scattering.

Plastic recycling in the United Kingdom faces persistent structural difficulties. Although household participation is high, overall recovery rates remain well below national and international targets.

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

As policymakers seek practical regulatory approaches for plastic waste, a cap-and-trade (CAT) system offers one possible framework.
