Flexible Packaging

Hyper-nucleated polypropylene improves clarity, stiffness and recyclability in rigid packaging by controlling crystallization.

Recycling plastics at scale remains a challenge as waste streams grow more complex. Mixed materials and contamination limit the performance of many recycling routes.

A two-year program conducted by CEFLEX gathered information from 1,700 data points and over 600 packaging samples. As a result, a design guide was developed to ensure the practical recyclability of flexible packaging.

Flexible bio-based polyester blocks transform brittle PLLA into ultra-tough copolymers with high extensibility and industrially relevant strength.

How private-label packaging systems balance brand coherence, differentiation, and material constraints across diverse retail categories.

As manufacturers embrace Industry 4.0, collaborative robots leveraging machine learning (ML) bring autonomy and efficiency to the factory floor.

Reactive extrusion reduces odor in post-consumer resins by leveraging targeted chemistry and venting to enable higher-quality circular PCR.

In a marketplace saturated with chromatic abundance, brands face a fundamental choice about color strategy that extends far beyond aesthetic preference.

These minimalist symbols guide billions of daily decisions, yet their sophisticated design process remains largely invisible to consumers.

Insect farming using mealworms and black soldier fly larvae offers a two-step solution to manage plastic and food waste while reducing microplastics in soil.
