What does design thinking plastics for a future of sustainability mean? In Design Thinking Plastics Part 1, Tony Chambers, Founder of TC & Friends and former editor-in-chief of Wallpaper, delves into ...
Discussions by organizations promoting a circular, cradle-to-cradle, sustainable plastics economy often address packaging and single-use materials, not engineering plastics and polymers. That's ...
New robust polymers that are chemically recyclable. Introducing a directing group enables catalytic cleavage of strong chemical bonds, allowing controlled degradation of robust polymers into monomers.
Christopher Kenny, a third year product design undergraduate from Technological University Dublin, has won this year’s Design Innovation in Plastics (DIP) competition. DIP, supported by the Institute ...

Domino polymerization method could speed design of degradable plastics
Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed a new polymerization technique that chains chemical reactions in sequence, much like toppling dominoes, to produce sulfur-containing ...
With electronic devices gaining power and losing bulk, design engineers have really started to feel the heat. Thermal management once meant a few well-placed fans, vents, and aluminum heat sinks. But ...
Researchers have identified more than 600,000 microbial proteins capable of breaking down natural and synthetic plastics, ...
The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR), Washington, says increasing supply and enhancing the quality of the plastics recycling stream are two primary goals of an updated resource guide the ...
The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR), Washington, recently announced six new packaging components eligible for its Preferred Design Recognition (PDR) program, formerly known as Meets Preferred ...
