This UAE company’s trademarked Greenspun fabric is making waves with high-quality, recycled clothing.

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.

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

In a world of excessive branding, a new packaging trend is emerging that’s as much about what’s missing as what remains: Naked packaging design.

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

Empowered by the global crisis of plastic fiber waste, Healix, a Dutch start-up, aims to close the loop by creating infinity polymers from recovered fishing and farming plastic waste. 

For polyester, bio-based raw materials, emerging biodegradable products, and more efficient post-treatment processes hint towards a greener future.

Plastic film’s slip and friction characteristics are essential for optimal performance in flexible packaging. Modifying these characteristics with additives can greatly benefit manufacturers.

2025 is a key milestone in the EU’s fight against plastic pollution, paving the way for more significant progress by 2030.

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.
