AI-assisted polymer design screens millions of candidates to identify chemically recyclable packaging polymers that still meet barrier and thermal targets.

A novel PTL/SA coating shows good performance and low cost for preventing phthalate leaching in medical devices and food packaging.

Breakthrough tech turns waste plastics into carbon materials for energy storage, powering supercapacitors, batteries, and hydrogen production.

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

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) drives innovation across industries due to its properties like exceptional cost-performance ratio, versatility, and sustainability.

Global demand drives the surge of the single-use plastic (SUP) packaging market to unprecedented numbers despite government restraints.

The use of recycled polymers in manufacturing, particularly for lower-value items like trash bags, has become common but presents challenges in achieving a truly self-sustaining circular economy. Addressing the degradation mechanisms during the processing and use of plastic parts is crucial for developing high-performance materials.

Berry Global Inc. says it has developed a new version of polyethylene cling film that can serve as a high-performance –– and certified recyclable –– alternative to PVC cling film for fresh food applications.
