Regulation

Fluorine-free polymers are redefining liquid cooling hardware, delivering chemical stability and dielectric strength without relying on PFAS.

Hyphyn introduces enzyme-driven PVC biodegradation, achieving over 90% breakdown under ASTM D5511; however, real-world landfill validation remains pending.

PFAS contamination is now systemic across the UK. Engineers and regulators must decide between incremental control and full chemical elimination.

A new sodium-based method upcycles PTFE into fluorochemicals at room temperature, reducing PFAS risk and recovering valuable fluorine.

Design strategies that balance recyclability and repairability can extend electronics’ lifespan and support circular economy goals.

Explore how MDO units and EVOH resins enable recyclable mono-material packaging, meeting European PPWR rules while improving strength, barrier, and sustainability.

PCR use doubled since 2019, yet 2025 packaging targets slip from supply, costs, and infrastructure gaps—what must change to meet 2030 goals?

UK textiles recovery is collapsing under rising costs and public pressure. EPR remains the only workable route forward.

Colombia and Latin America advance circular plastics with eco-design, R&D, and regulation, proving circularity moves forward without a global treaty.

Plastics compliance is shifting from regulation to strategy, driving costs, investor pressure, and innovation across UK and global supply chains.
