Bioplastics

LEGO is reducing emissions and expanding the use of renewable, recycled, and mass-balance plastics across its global toy portfolio and supply chain.

Apricot shell flour improves ductility, impact strength, and compostability in injection-moldable zein bioplastics for packaging.

Low-carbon transport strategies can reduce emissions across plastics supply chains, from resin logistics to the movement of recycled materials.

Bio-based coatings use plant oils, lignin, cellulose, and starch to improve sustainability, durability, adhesion, and industrial performance.

Medical plastics recovery depends on product architecture, contamination control, resin choice, and end-of-life design strategy.

As an additive in polylactide (PLA) biocomposite films, spent coffee grounds (SCG) can improve flexibility and toughness while preventing combustion.

Microorganisms metabolize polymer carbon into CO₂ or CH₄, proving actual biodegradation beyond physical or chemical degradation.

Redux highlights flax-based composites, redefining lightweight EV design with sustainable, high-performance materials.

Advanced polymer engineering and 3D printing technology power SelfWrap, VenoStent’s breakthrough vascular implant.

AI is helping researchers design sustainable flame-retardant biodegradable composites faster by optimizing fire performance, strength, and material efficiency.
