PET

The fashion industry is disrupting the PET circular economy by taking it into an application that recycles less than 1% of its products.

Delve into the realm of 3D printing plastics where innovation meets engineering. From traditional petroleum-based materials to eco-friendly alternatives like polylactic acid (PLA), discover the versatile and ever-evolving world of plastics.

In the world of plastics, the quest for perfection is a relentless one. Plastic bottles, ubiquitous in our lives, may appear simple, but their creation is a complex dance of materials and processes. At the heart of this intricate ballet…

Firms successfully process novel hybrid ‘PET/F’ resin into preforms, then bottles.

Engel technology rapidly converts up to 100 percent recycled PET into ‘green’ food packaging.

Low collection rates of some polymers and looming regulations could upend materials use.

Each batch of recycled plastic is different, so testing and analysis are critical for processing and quality.

European thermoforming conference highlights cooperative paths to process and regulatory challenges

Biotech startup Carbios of Clermont-Ferrand, France, which promotes the recycling of PET waste in an enzyme process, acquired shares of a joint venture, Carbiolice, which strengthens its capacity to develop activities on polymer biodegradation beyond PLA (polylactic acid).   In May,…
