A paradigm shift is underway as the plastics industry moves towards sustainability. However, healthcare plastics present challenges that must be overcome to incorporate PCR in their applications and enhance circularity.

Researchers from Cornell University conducted a study that produced the first-ever microplastics human uptake map across 109 major countries worldwide. They found that humans often consume microplastics (MPs) in table salt, seafood, meat, and drinks.

Researchers are exploring the use of bio-based materials to enhance the performance and sustainability of solar cells.

Electronic devices emit substantial energy as electromagnetic interference (EMI). Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (IPNs) emerge as a potential solution, as their shielding properties can be tailored to mitigate this interference.

Formerra is a global high-performance materials distributor with a dedicated focus on sustainability and business development. The company has found a niche in sustainable packaging, materials, and solutions.

MXene hydrogels are emerging as innovative materials with promising applications across various industries, including conductive plastic materials and packaging.

Kaffeeform, a Berlin-based company, revolutionizes coffee packaging by transforming used coffee grounds into eco-friendly products, promoting sustainability and waste management.

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are unique materials that combine the elastic properties of rubber with processability. These polymers exhibit elastic behavior due to thermo-reversible cross-links and phase separation.

Self-healing polymers can revolutionize the packaging industry by significantly enhancing product durability, safety, and reliability.

Research explores the environmental impacts of transforming multilayer metalized plastic packaging (MLP), commonly used in consumer goods, into paving blocks (PVBs).
