Innovative Roadway Pavements can fulfill multiple functions, including pavement condition monitoring, snow-melting, urban heat island effect (UHI) reduction, and self-healing.

Sustainability management is a continuing process that must become an integral part of the business operations. Sustainability management is not a single act but a process. 

Recent studies have delved into the profound effects of plasticizers on the crystallization behavior of linear polymers, shedding light on their impact on nucleation, growth, and melting processes.

Despite its benefits, multilayer plastic packaging faces complexities in recycling; innovation is key to a sustainable, circular economy solution.

Minimizing the utilization of virgin plastic in business-to-business (B2B) plastic packaging represents a crucial stride toward tackling pollution. This strategy, advocated by The Consumer Goods Forum’s Golden Design Rules, has the potential to yield substantial environmental and economic advantages.

Recycling plastic films through Solvent-Targeted Recovery and Precipitation (STRAP) is crucial for environmental sustainability since packaging commonly uses these materials. While experts are testing pioneering methods, scaling these techniques remains a challenge.

Inter Holdings says its patented technology can extend shelf life, save food, and reduce CO2 emissions. A Tokyo-based company has developed and patented what it calls “ultra-high vacuum technology.” It aims to reduce food loss and carbon dioxide emissions while replacing some single-use plastic packaging.

In the Alabama A&M University (AAMU) Food Engineering Lab, a groundbreaking initiative is underway, poised to revolutionize food preservation and packaging technology.

NAFION, a remarkable polymer crafted by the Chemours Company, earns widespread acclaim for its exceptional properties and versatile applications across various industries.

The inclusion of additives plays a crucial role in augmenting the functionality of packaging materials, ensuring they fulfill the varied requirements of different applications. This comprehensive analysis covers the main types of additives and functionalities to improve your packaging production.

The terms “film” and “sheet” often lead to confusion within and outside the industry, as they are sometimes used interchangeably. While both refer to thin, flat materials, they possess distinct characteristics and applications.

The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) has established guidelines and certification programs aimed at assisting producers in making their PE film recycling-compatible.
