Sustainability

As global demand for sustainable packaging intensifies, Okeanos emerges as a transformative leader with its innovative Made From Stone technology.

Developing high-performance solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) represents a major leap forward for energy storage technologies, particularly lithium-ion batteries.

Energy efficiency in mold design is rarely considered but cooling, the size of sprues and runners and how the part is ejected all have energy use implications that should be considered at the design stage. 

The global push to replace PFAS-based fabric treatments has driven significant research into safer, more sustainable liquid-repellent coatings.

Controlling cooling, energy consumption, and downtime can help you reduce your cost per part using the resources you already have in your shop.

A team of researchers at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science has created an innovative plastic designed to combat microplastic pollution.

As climate change and global population growth accelerate, researchers are developing sustainable solutions to improve food security and crop yields.

Developing a greener plastic industry starts with defining clear and actionable strategies.

Plastics Europe has published its latest study, Plastics—The Fast Facts 2024, which presents preliminary global and European plastics production data for 2023.

In a recent conversation with Plastics Engineering, SPE’s spokespersons outlined the organization’s role in supporting the Global Plastics Treaty.

The editor’s choice for November 2024 in SPE’s Polymer Composites journal is “Introducing Diels-Alder reaction with carbon nanotubes for the enhanced repair performance of epoxy resin modified asphalt.”

As sustainability takes center stage in packaging innovation, integrating Nanosilicates into polyamide has emerged as a key solution for industries demanding both durability and environmental responsibility.
