Sustainability

Researchers at the University of Manchester developed an innovative biocomposite specifically designed for extraterrestrial construction needs.

Bioinspired hydrogels show promise in developing artificial photosynthesis. This can provide solutions to complex challenges in sustainable energy and hydrogen generation.

Industry 6.0 represents the next evolution in manufacturing, driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous decision-making robots, known as infobots. The progression of injection molding technology and its integration with advanced robotics offer greater efficiency and sustainability.

Apple is replacing plastic with wood fiber in iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max packaging as part of its environmental commitment.

Reducing the carbon footprint in the construction industry poses a significant challenge. Developing and using removable adhesives can play an important role in addressing it.

Foaming biodegradable bioplastics offers a revolutionary approach to improving both material efficiency and environmental impact.

Tooling digitalization can be the solution for today’s manufacturing systems, where the tool failures can cause as much as 20% downtime, leading to significant productivity and profit losses. 

As sustainability becomes a global priority, biopolymers derived from bacteria are emerging as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional oil-based plastics.

LOWPOLY repurposes spent coffee grounds (SCGs) into functional furniture through large-format 3D printing.

As the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) grows, efficient, safe, and long-lasting batteries become critical to meet energy and performance needs. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) power most EVs, but they face energy density, safety, and long-term reliability limitations.

Look for opportunities to shorten each step of the molding cycle. To understand these opportunities, learn how the material behaves inside the mold.

The rotomolding industry is transforming technologically, enabling manufacturers to achieve higher precision, efficiency, and sustainability.
