Flexible Packaging

Advancements in biotechnology highlight how engineered microbial catalysts can recycle plastic waste in vivo.

Get a preview of FlexForum 2026, where flexible packaging professionals will explore regulation, circularity, innovation, and market trends.

Cassava starch-soy films provide biodegradable nursery bags that cut soil microplastic buildup without compromising agronomic performance.

Join FlexForum to explore PPWR, EPR, and PCR trends shaping flexible packaging design and recyclability.

EPR mandates and monomaterial shifts are transforming packaging. Circular requirements now dictate structural design, material choice, and form.

Upstream design decisions determine the success of plastic circularity. This analysis examines the gap between technical and effective recycling.

Researchers developed a novel, bio-based composite, enhanced with essential oil and chitosan, designed specifically for cosmetics packaging.

Biodegradable polymer blends strengthen and diversify sustainable applications in packaging, agriculture, and medicine.

A decision made at the pigment stage can decide whether a plastic product is recyclable at all.

Packaging laws are accelerating. Learn how policy reshapes PLA choices, end-of-life claims, and design constraints ahead of ANTEC 2026.
