Education & Training

Better collection systems can reduce contamination and improve the quality of recycled plastic feedstock before sorting, washing, and extrusion begin.

Reinforced active bioplastics combine mechanical strength, moisture resistance, and antioxidant performance to extend food shelf life.

Engineers optimize ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) and silicone thermoplastic vulcanizates to combine high elasticity with efficient thermoplastic processing for industrial applications.

Digital tools bring real-time data, traceability, and automated updates to LCA, improving environmental decisions across the value chain.

Halogen-free flame retardants improve fire safety, but compounders still balance processing, durability, smoke, and electrical performance.

Foamed TPE and PP could replace non-recyclable automotive soft-touch structures while reducing weight and increasing recycled content.

AI sorting, data-driven compounding, and digital traceability improve PCR purity, consistency, and confidence across recycling value chains.

Flexloop uses solvent extraction to remove inks, adhesives, odors, and contaminants from flexible films, enabling higher-quality recycled resin.

Real-time resin diagnostics help processors monitor melt behavior, manage recycled-content variability, and improve plastics quality control.

Healthcare foams face growing pressure from PCR adoption, PFAS restrictions, EPR policies, and circularity goals across medical supply chains.
