Design

Pet product manufacturers are embracing recycled plastics and long-life design to set new benchmarks for sustainability.

Packaging design is undergoing a fundamental transformation as artificial intelligence reshapes not only our tools but also the creative process itself.

For thermoforming manufacturers like Duo Form, reducing production costs and lead times has become essential to staying competitive.

A new hydrophilic coating could give players an edge, enabling them to maintain control and consistency regardless of the course conditions.

Companies worldwide are reevaluating their production processes. One major shift is the use of recycled content in manufacturing.

As demand for sustainable, high-performance insulation materials increases, researchers continue to explore innovative ways to enhance traditional polymers, such as polystyrene (PS).

Protein-based films hold promise as the next generation of edible packaging, with the ability to encapsulate and release bioactive compounds.

Quantum polymers combine the power of quantum mechanics with the versatility of polymers.

Pia Wagner from the Institute for Plastics Processing (IKV) in Germany received the award for Best Presentation during the Injection Molding chapter’s reception at ANTEC 2025.

In the traditional retail environment, packaging’s primary function has always been to stand out amidst shelf competitors. However, in the digital marketplace, this paradigm has undergone a fundamental shift.

Engineers are transforming discarded PET, PVC, and PS into high-performance membranes for water treatment, desalination, and oil-water separation applications.

This is the first of a two-part series that will provide insight into the adjustments needed in your molding operation to process post-consumer recyclate (PCR).
