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.

Biopolymer seed coatings cut agricultural microplastics while maintaining adhesion, dust control, and germination for safer, more sustainable farming.

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.

Study reveals how different microplastics, especially polyamides, strongly adsorb PFAS, shaping pollution risks and remediation strategies.

Smart factories use data analytics, automation, and modular design to enhance efficiency, adaptability, and sustainability in plastics manufacturing.

Biointellectus develops the next generation of bioproducts by transforming biomass into functional plastics.

Plasticizer migration erodes performance and elevates compliance risk in PVC products. To counter this, surface engineering gives manufacturers direct, interface-level control.

The plastics industry is undergoing a profound transformation. With increasing pressure to decarbonize, reduce waste, and remain globally competitive, stakeholders across Europe and the U.S. are rethinking how plastics are produced, used, and recycled.

Manufacturers are shifting from standard blow molding systems to customized equipment, improving performance, flexibility, and sustainability across the global PET packaging market.
