Plastic extrusion is vital in manufacturing a wide array of plastic products. Therefore, choosing the right extrusion partner is crucial for ensuring your project’s success. It can significantly impact both the quality and efficiency of production.

The University of California, Berkeley, developed a new catalytic chemical process that has the potential to revolutionize plastic recycling by converting waste polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) into valuable monomers.

There are many great qualities lignin possesses. This natural polymer is a potential alternative to fossil-fuel-derived plastic but comes with its fair share of challenges and hold-ups.

When selecting the best injection molding machine for your manufacturing needs, several brands stand out for their innovation, quality, and reliability. This article will compare six leading brands.

Direct fluorination is a widely used surface treatment in the packaging industry to enhance barrier properties. However, it has recently been linked to PFAS contamination in HDPE and PP.

Mango Materials transforms waste methane into biodegradable PHA, providing a sustainable alternative to plastics and creating significant opportunities for innovation across multiple sectors.

The study revealed that only the biodegradable-compostable packaging fully decomposed. Oxo-biodegradables showed minimal degradation.

A recent report by the University of Auckland, commissioned by the Ministry for the Environment, sheds light on the presence and impact of harmful additives in compostable products.

Packaging shape plays a critical role in perceived volume, influencing consumer behavior and purchase decisions. Designers can create packaging that appear larger and more appealing.

PET has long been the most popular material for food and beverage packaging. However, antimony (Sb) has been associated with bottled water for the last 20 years. What are the facts?

Recycling has become a turning point for environmental sustainability, reducing waste, and conserving natural resources. However, not all materials are equally easy to recycle.

The Composting Consortium conducted the most extensive in-field study on compostable packaging in North America. It showed that compostable packaging disintegrates effectively under reasonable operating conditions.
