Packaging

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

Fraunhofer validates solvent and glycolysis routes that convert contaminated packaging waste into textile-grade PP and PET fibers.

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.

Without PFAS, extrusion systems lose their tolerance for small mechanical flaws. What once ran unnoticed now drives degradation, buildup, and instability.

AI-assisted polymer design screens millions of candidates to identify chemically recyclable packaging polymers that still meet barrier and thermal targets.

AI control for recycled plastics stabilizes injection molding despite resin variability, reducing defects and improving operator confidence with explainable models.

Film defects are process signals. Connect die flow, cooling symmetry, and winding stress to improve gauge control and roll quality.

PLA PHA compatibilization for blown film can widen processing windows and improve toughness. See why morphology and moisture control matter.

Regulating for resilience, safety, and sustainability is crucial in the packaging industry.

Drawing on sedimentology, researchers have proposed a novel classification scheme for plastic waste of all sizes.

Bold minimalism uses negative space, typography, and color blocks to improve shelf impact and thumbnail readability in digital commerce.
