Recycling has become a turning point for environmental sustainability, reducing waste, and conserving natural resources. However, not all materials are equally easy to recycle.

Innovative carbon capture technologies are revolutionizing the plastics industry by reducing GHG emissions and transforming carbon waste into valuable materials.

Researchers have developed a novel approach combining Lean Thinking and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), significantly reducing plastic products’ negative environmental impacts.

Reuse, resale, and refill are three innovative business models that take old-school solutions to the next level. They can help to reduce plastic waste and significantly drive sustainability.

Plastic credits aim to mitigate global plastic pollution and foster sustainable waste management practices.

Domenic Di Mondo, President of GreenMantra Technologies, spoke to Plastics Engineering Magazine at NPE 2024 about the company’s innovations.

Global demand drives the surge of the single-use plastic (SUP) packaging market to unprecedented numbers despite government restraints.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) emerges as a transformative technology with the potential to redefine design paradigms and manufacturing processes across various industries, especially when using metal materials.

The lower recycling rates worldwide have demonstrated that effectively managing plastic waste needs multiple recycling technologies.

Single-use plastic (SUP) bans aim to decrease plastic waste pollution. However, their implementation has unintentional economic and environmental consequences.

Researchers are exploring the use of bio-based materials to enhance the performance and sustainability of solar cells.

Injection molding machines have ‘base’ and ‘process’ loads and an idling machine is not ‘free’, it is costing large amounts of energy and money.
