Dr. Byungwook Hwang's research team from the CCS Research Department at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has successfully developed a process that applies the circulating fluidized bed ...

With a new process, ENGEL makes it possible to process plastic waste as flakes in injection molding directly after grinding. Since pelletizing as a separate process step is eliminated, the innovation ...

Each manufacturing sector has a distinctive set of tools, processes, technologies, and challenges. These differences make it extremely difficult, costly, and time consuming for manufacturers to adapt ...

Ever wondered where your plastics end up? A PET bottle can be washed, shredded, melted and given a second life. But most ...

Researchers have developed a process that may help advance plastic waste recycling. A team of scientists from the University of Pittsburgh have optimized a low-cost process called pyrolysis to ...

We know that most plastics thrown into the recycling bin don’t get recycled, but what about the ones that do? According to new research, those also end up spitting bits of plastic back into the ...

Medical device OEMs interested in evaluating a plastics processor should consider capabilities such as scientific molding, automation, and assembly. In particular, in reviewing prospective suppliers' ...

'Flexible plastic' items like potato chip bags are often thrown away, but can be recycled back into food-grade films using an award-winning COtooCLEAN process. So-called flexible plastics aren’t very ...

China’s policy to ban imports of postconsumer scrap plastics has upended markets for some of this material—namely film and mixed plastics—in the United States. Two recyclers shared why they have ...

Advances in materials, tooling, and technology continue to blur the line between the most suitable process and a given application. Thermoforming, of course, can be used to make everything from ...

Plastic bottles and bags can be vaporised into chemical building blocks and turned into new plastics with all the properties of virgin material. There are hurdles still to overcome, but the new ...
