Circular Economy

Apricot shell flour improves ductility, impact strength, and compostability in injection-moldable zein bioplastics for packaging.

Petrochemical feedstock strategy is shifting from lowest cost toward flexibility, carbon reduction, and geopolitical resilience.

The F1 Constructors’ Circularity Handbook helps teams measure material use, waste, and circularity in Formula 1 car manufacturing.

Pirelli enters the Top 1% of S&P Global’s 2026 Sustainability Yearbook, driven by ESG performance and sustainable tire innovation.

Low-carbon transport strategies can reduce emissions across plastics supply chains, from resin logistics to the movement of recycled materials.

Carbon black pigments limit NIR sorting, raising recyclability, compliance, and cost challenges for black plastic packaging.

Bio-based coatings use plant oils, lignin, cellulose, and starch to improve sustainability, durability, adhesion, and industrial performance.

Xenia’s HM Upgrade improves carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastics with higher stiffness, strength, impact resistance, and dimensional stability.

Microplastics can host microbial biofilms containing pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes in aquatic environments.

Medical plastics recovery depends on product architecture, contamination control, resin choice, and end-of-life design strategy.

Upcycled nitrile and SBS rubbers can become solid polyamine sorbents for CO₂ capture and rubber waste recovery.

Recycled plastics can support electronics housings, but heat, impact, flame ratings, and compliance still limit adoption.
