Recyclate

Companies worldwide are reevaluating their production processes. One major shift is the use of recycled content in manufacturing.

Modern vehicles are composed of increasing amounts of plastic, raising questions about the use of recycled materials and the recyclability of automotive waste.

Based on the latest updates from the European Environment Agency (EEA), many doubt whether all EU countries will achieve the 2025 recycling targets.

Pia Wagner from the Institute for Plastics Processing (IKV) in Germany received the award for Best Presentation during the Injection Molding chapter’s reception at ANTEC 2025.

ICIPC (Instituto de Capacitación e Investigación del Plástico y del Caucho) in Colombia presented their sustainability assessment for PS at ANTEC® 2025, highlighting polystyrene’s potential to contribute to circular economy efforts in the country.

Engineers are transforming discarded PET, PVC, and PS into high-performance membranes for water treatment, desalination, and oil-water separation applications.

This is the first of a two-part series that will provide insight into the adjustments needed in your molding operation to process post-consumer recyclate (PCR).

MacroCycle Technologies is redefining PET recycling through a scalable, energy-efficient molecular upcycling process.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) strategies drive sustainability of production, consumption, and disposal by making producers accountable for plastic waste and leveraging market-driven incentives.

The global plastic recycling market is experiencing a transformative shift, presenting significant business opportunities for companies willing to innovate and adapt.
