Apple is replacing plastic with wood fiber in iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max packaging as part of its environmental commitment.

Tooling digitalization can be the solution for today’s manufacturing systems, where the tool failures can cause as much as 20% downtime, leading to significant productivity and profit losses. 

Look for opportunities to shorten each step of the molding cycle. To understand these opportunities, learn how the material behaves inside the mold.

A digital twin includes real-time data and continuous feedback from the physical world. Simulation is typically a static or hypothetical model used for scenario-based analysis.

The injection molding market features diverse companies, each providing tailored solutions to meet specific needs.

Thermoforming plays a crucial role in processing plastic sheets, and choosing the right manufacturer is key to achieving superior quality and performance.

Seawool is produced by grinding oyster shells into nanobeads combined with recycled polyester. This process upcycles the waste material, sparking a fabric revolution in sustainable textiles.

Energy consumption in injection molding can be reduced by paying attention to material selection and by closely watching different stages in process parametrization.

For the second year in a row, the SPE’s event in Baltimore will examine the regulatory, economic, and technological impacts of PFAS on the plastics industry.

PFAS regulation. Should they stay, or should they go? Legislative insights offer answers to common questions.

Denmark leads in environmental initiatives, including recycling Styrofoam (EPS). Widely used in packaging and insulation, expanded polystyrene presents significant challenges in waste management.

Artificial intelligence (AI) transforms the plastics industry through predictive maintenance, which uses data-driven insights to foresee equipment failures.
