Protein-based films hold promise as the next generation of edible packaging, with the ability to encapsulate and release bioactive compounds.

Pia Wagner from the Institute for Plastics Processing (IKV) in Germany received the award for Best Presentation during the Injection Molding chapter’s reception at ANTEC 2025.

ICIPC (Instituto de Capacitación e Investigación del Plástico y del Caucho) in Colombia presented their sustainability assessment for PS at ANTEC® 2025, highlighting polystyrene’s potential to contribute to circular economy efforts in the country.

Engineers are transforming discarded PET, PVC, and PS into high-performance membranes for water treatment, desalination, and oil-water separation applications.

Plastic solar cells have struggled for years, but perovskite and plastic films could change that. This breakthrough may speed up commercialization..

In a world of excessive branding, a new packaging trend is emerging that’s as much about what’s missing as what remains: Naked packaging design.

MacroCycle Technologies is redefining PET recycling through a scalable, energy-efficient molecular upcycling process.

Empowered by the global crisis of plastic fiber waste, Healix, a Dutch start-up, aims to close the loop by creating infinity polymers from recovered fishing and farming plastic waste. 

For polyester, bio-based raw materials, emerging biodegradable products, and more efficient post-treatment processes hint towards a greener future.

Free flow or jetting is a defect associated with poor gate design. It should be checked for as part of any new mold design process.

AI is unlocking the secrets of sustainable bioplastics, paving the way for a greener future without sacrificing performance.

The market for polymer-based chiller components is expanding rapidly as industries seek cost efficiency, corrosion resistance, and energy savings.
