Polypropylene

Hospitals adopt sustainable materials, smarter packaging, and greener procurement to cut waste and emissions while protecting patient safety in 2026.

What it takes for sustainable plastics to work in pharma, with insights from Dr. Beate Mueller-Tiemann.

Researchers developed a novel, bio-based composite, enhanced with essential oil and chitosan, designed specifically for cosmetics packaging.

Fraunhofer validates solvent and glycolysis routes that convert contaminated packaging waste into textile-grade PP and PET fibers.

In high-loading Glass fiber–reinforced polypropylene composites, dispersion, not chemistry, determines flame-retardant performance.

AI control for recycled plastics stabilizes injection molding despite resin variability, reducing defects and improving operator confidence with explainable models.

Polyolefins define modern plastics, but their chemical stability now drives a new search for smarter transformation pathways

Social commerce shifts beauty packaging into feeds. Engineers must control gloss, haze, defects, and durability while meeting barrier targets.

Hyper-nucleated polypropylene improves clarity, stiffness and recyclability in rigid packaging by controlling crystallization.

A two-year program conducted by CEFLEX gathered information from 1,700 data points and over 600 packaging samples. As a result, a design guide was developed to ensure the practical recyclability of flexible packaging.
