Recycling

Technological breakthroughs promise to revolutionize nylon recycling and drive material circularity across industries.

The UK’s Extended Producer Responsibility scheme reshapes packaging design and recycling. Businesses now face new rules, fees, and sustainability standards.

Metal-free laminates have high packaging barrier properties while simplifying the recycling process, offering a sustainable solution without compromising functionality.

As sustainability becomes a key priority across industries, packaging companies must rethink how they design, produce, and manage materials.

Bioplastics often carry a reputation for disrupting recycling systems, yet a recent European Bioplastics study presents a different perspective.

A recent study offers a promising solution to create hybrid aerogels from surplus gelatin and chitosan.

EVA is a copolymer that combines the flexibility of rubber with the processability of thermoplastics.

There is growing interest in enzymatic degradation as an alternative to biodegradation, though its full potential is not yet certain.

Researchers at ANTEC® 2025 showed that foamed multilayer blown films can achieve densities compatible with mechanical sorting systems while maintaining essential packaging performance.

Automotive plastics pose one of today’s biggest recycling challenges and hold the key to tomorrow’s circular economy solutions.
