Process

Rigid polyurethane composites with industrial waste fillers: mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, and machine-learning guided optimization.

High-temp DLP/SLA photopolymer inserts enable hybrid tooling, short-run injection molding, and faster iteration with stable, metal-like performance.

Reactive extrusion reduces odor in post-consumer resins by leveraging targeted chemistry and venting to enable higher-quality circular PCR.

Fouling comes from additive volatility and interfacial energetics. Early shifts in cavity-pressure and ejector-force trends reveal their growth and prompt planned interventions.

Europe’s PVC industry boosts circularity, increasing recycled PVC use despite weak demand, cutting emissions and supporting sustainable manufacturing.

KetaSpire PEEK surgical guides replace metal, offering lightweight, radiotransparency, and reliable sterilization for precise orthopedic surgery.

As biomonitors, lichens show how green spaces buffer urban areas from atmospheric microplastic pollution.

K-Rain cuts sprinkler molding cycle time by 20% using Xact Metal 3D-printed Corrax inserts and conformal cooling for better quality.

E-waste leasing and product-as-a-service models cut electronic waste by improving design, take-back, lease returns, and secure recycling.

Insect farming using mealworms and black soldier fly larvae offers a two-step solution to manage plastic and food waste while reducing microplastics in soil.

A recent study investigated how additives can reduce odor emissions from wood-plastic composites (WPCs), increasing their applicability for indoor use.

Incorporating zeolites into plastic recycling could signal a significant advancement for sustainability.
