Billie Eilish plans to use recycled and bio-based vinyl, as well as recycled packaging materials, to make her upcoming third album as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible.

The Consumer Goods Forum’s Golden Design Rule to remove problematic elements from packaging targets elements like undetectable carbon black, PVC, EPS, PS, PETG in rigid plastic packaging, and oxo-degradable materials. Its implementation promises profound environmental benefits and aligns with global sustainability goals.

Perstorp Group today introduced a more sustainable, phthalate-free grade of PVC plasticizer called Pevalen Pro 100 that features 100 percent renewable carbon content based on mass balance.

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.

PVC stands tall among commercial plastics, but its thermal instability at processing temperatures poses challenges. To fortify PVC products against high temperatures, conventional heat stabilizers are often employed, yet they come with toxic baggage harmful to both humans and the environment.

Food packaging, electronics and aerospace will drive much of the global demand for thermoformable films from 2023 to 2031. Report credits demand in food packaging, aerospace and electronics for growth This is a great time to invest in thermoforming, especially…

Polyvinyl chloride is widely used in durable building and construction goods, notably pipe, windows, siding, flooring and roofing. PVC manufacturers have long reused regrind and refined their processes to minimize post-industrial (or pre-consumer) scrap.
