PCR use doubled since 2019, yet 2025 packaging targets slip from supply, costs, and infrastructure gaps—what must change to meet 2030 goals?

Deep in the western Pacific Ocean, researchers investigated the microorganisms contributing to plastic degradation.

The incorporation of recycled polymers into transparent applications challenges engineers to control haze, color shifts, and light scattering.

Plastic recycling remains low because systems are confusing and inconvenient. Clear rules and simpler processes can boost participation.

As artificial intelligence transforms the identification, sorting, and recovery of plastics, regulators are racing to keep pace with a technology poised to redefine the future of recycling.

A new certified reference material from the European Commission advances the standardization of microplastic analysis in a water matrix.

ALPLA’s new ultra-thin rPET yogurt cups combine high performance with recyclability, aligning with future EU packaging standards and circular goals.

PET Technologies offers insights into the fundamentals of blow molding and how this process continues to evolve.

Pet product manufacturers are embracing recycled plastics and long-life design to set new benchmarks for sustainability.

Companies worldwide are reevaluating their production processes. One major shift is the use of recycled content in manufacturing.
