PFAS are everywhere. As laboratory characterization techniques evolve, governmental entities adjust.

Foam plastic insulation offers numerous benefits, making it an excellent choice for a variety of applications.

Fluoropolymers enhance various applications across multiple industries, including aerospace, automotive, electronics, packaging, and medical.

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

McCallah Ferry, a University of Akron researcher, conducted a study on granular activated carbon (GAC) filters to determine if removing PFAS from water is possible.  The research confirms that GAC filters effectively remove PFAS, ensuring safe drinking water.

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.

The Global Plastics Treaty ambitiously aims to tackle plastic pollution but currently needs a defined scope. INC must unite on a legally binding document that addresses political, economic, and social realities, emphasizing the science behind responsible plastic use across sectors.

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 PET bottles has set a standard for other industries, but PET thermoforms are still gaining momentum. This industry segment is paving the way for a new landscape in PET recycling.

Innovative carbon capture technologies are revolutionizing the plastics industry by reducing GHG emissions and transforming carbon waste into valuable materials.

Global demand drives the surge of the single-use plastic (SUP) packaging market to unprecedented numbers despite government restraints.

The lower recycling rates worldwide have demonstrated that effectively managing plastic waste needs multiple recycling technologies.
