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

Plastic film’s slip and friction characteristics are essential for optimal performance in flexible packaging. Modifying these characteristics with additives can greatly benefit manufacturers.

2025 is a key milestone in the EU’s fight against plastic pollution, paving the way for more significant progress by 2030.

Phase 2 of the “PET Thermoform Recycling Costs & Material Flow Project” examined the technical, economic, and logistical challenges of recycling PET thermoforms and proposed actionable solutions to address these barriers.

Automation, sustainability, and 3D printing shape the blow molding’s future.

Reducing the carbon footprint in the construction industry poses a significant challenge. Developing and using removable adhesives can play an important role in addressing it.

PEF represents the next generation of sustainable PET by combining high-performance quality with sustainability—two essential requirements for today’s consumers.

Molds must be engineered with precision to achieve optimal results, making mold life a key consideration. Several factors influence injection mold life, including material choice, operating conditions, design, and maintenance.

Dissolution or purification is an option for recycling polymers without altering their chemical structure while ensuring energy efficiency. Nevertheless, solvents may be an environmental concern.

When selecting the best injection molding machine for your manufacturing needs, several brands stand out for their innovation, quality, and reliability. This article will compare six leading brands.

Plastics Injection molding accounts for nearly 50% of all plastic processing methods. Compared to other processes like blow molding or thermoforming, it is preferred for its ability to produce complex parts with high repeatability and minimal waste.

PET has long been the most popular material for food and beverage packaging. However, antimony (Sb) has been associated with bottled water for the last 20 years. What are the facts?
