Food Packaging

ANTEC® 2025 brings together scientists, engineers, and industry leaders to shape the future of plastics in a way that balances performance, sustainability, and innovation.

The extrusion coating market is evolving to provide sustainable alternatives that meet current packaging technical requirements, driving the shift toward more recyclable and compostable options.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has studied PFAS usage in food applications, tracking its presence, migration potential, and industry phase-outs.

Secondary compounds enhance biopolymers’ antimicrobial, antioxidant, and mechanical properties for food preservation.

The FDA proposes at-a-glance nutrition labels for the front of packaged foods, offering the U.S. an opportunity to learn valuable lessons from LATAM’s experience.

Dr. Prithu Mukhopadhyay, the SPE Journal of Vinyl & Additive Technology editor, discusses key aspects of PFAS, future regulations, and potential developments.

As one of the most adaptable polymer processing techniques, injection molding could transform plant-based meat production.

Phase 2 of the “PET Thermoform Recycling Costs & Material Flow Project” examined the technical, economic, and logistical challenges of recycling PET thermoforms and proposed actionable solutions to address these barriers.

Automation, sustainability, and 3D printing shape the blow molding’s future.

The global bioplastics market is experiencing unprecedented growth. It is projected to rise from USD 9.1 billion in 2020 to USD 30.9 billion by 2028 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 16%.
