Foul Odor Removal from #RecycledPlastics   Challenges of Foul Odor in Recycled Plastics   💡 #Recyclingplastic is crucial for #sustainability, but foul Odors pose a significant problem. 💡 Odor issues occur during both the #recyclingprocess and in the final products. 💡 Meeting industry standards and #regulatorycompliance is a challenge in itself.   Transforming Odor Challenges into Fragrant Solutions: Revolutionizing Recycled Plastics!   💡 #ProbioticBacteria: Minimizing Odor using beneficial microbes. 💡 Carboxen/PDMS Fiber for Adsorption of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).   Some of the leading key players in this segment are WestRock Company, Procter & Gamble, Berry Global, Inc. and Mondi Group   SIGNICENT LLP understands global concerns and provides #technologysolutions by doing #technologyscouting, #marketanalysis #forecasting, #competitive #benchmarking, and #intellectualproperty research.   📩 Download the free primer: https://lnkd.in/dHF8m_n 📑 Request customized study: https://lnkd.in/dGEWAYNe 🚀 Follow for more such updates: https://lnkd.in/d_PQetHc

Who’s amplifying sustainability with PCR-based additives❓❗️ GREENMANTRA Technologies leads the market in sustainable additive solutions produced using waste plastic via its patented molecular recycling process. These additives advance zero-waste plastic goals by: ✔️Diverting PCR and PIR waste streams from the environment ✔️Replacing and outperforming fossil-based additives ✔️Enabling a higher percentage of PCR/PIR to be used in polymer formulations We will be showcasing our CERANOVUS® PN Series specialty polypropylene and polyethylene additives at NPE: The Plastics Show 2024, booth #S35181.

It's been recognised for ages that the chemicals in plastics can cause harm. It's good to see research to clarify the extent of chemicals in plastics. "To date, information about the chemicals in plastics has been kept largely proprietary by the plastics industry. Experts have had to carefully test plastics to determine which chemicals they contain. The PlastChem project aims to address the fragmented understanding of the chemicals in plastics and their impact on health and the environment." #plasticpollution

Day 2 in #BioplasticsWeek 🌱 Let’s talk end-of-life for product packaging made with biopolymers. Bioplastics are either biobased and not biodegradable (PE, PEF, PET, PTT), or they are biobased AND biodegradable (PLA, PHA, PBS, Starch blends). Their specific properties determine end of life. Whether it’s chemical recycling, mechanical recycling, or organic recycling (composting), we need continued investment into new and existing infrastructure and proper labeling so the average consumer can contribute to a better end of life for product packaging.

Imagine a group of Biodegradable Packaging Options that: • are Omnidegradable® anywhere there are active microbes- works with any Plastic – Films, Pouches, etc. • World’s First Omnidegradable® – Ultra High Barrier – BOPET, BOPP, One Way Valves, PE and Bio-Foil. • They are the only films that are shelf-stable indefinitely and will not break down on the shelf. • Biodegrades in Anaerobic Landfills (worst case scenario) and other places such as Oceans. • Revert to their original elements harmlessly, quickly and completely and are Beneficial to Plant Growth. • Have Scientifically Proven technology – Independent Lab Studies • Replaces virtually all types of plastics, simply and effectively. • Retains the same properties as the original plastics.

Super interesting read on the toxicity of bioplastics. Begs the question, is the move towards sustainability, environmental health, and human health, actually sustainable and healthy?

Thrilled to introduce Dr. Thomas Gude as a Workshop Leader at Circular Plastics Packaging Europe - 24th GEPET Series conference (6-7 May 2024, Rotterdam). He will be conducting a pre-conference workshop on 6 May morning, with focus on: Recycled Packaging for Food Contact. As sustainability commitments give rise to increasing usage of packaging with recycled material content,  it is important for packaging companies and their customers who are endusers/ brand owners have extensive knowledge of international and national food contact regulations, including the EU , US FDA & China. Whether your interest is the recycling process or the packaging product – be it recycled plastics, or recycled paper,  this course will give you an understanding of the composition, nature, performance, and chemical safety of the novel materials at the same time support your food contact packaging development in a safe, and compliant manner. Program Outline:  - Overview and legal backgrounds for EU, US-FDA, China - General testing strategies for Food Contact Materials - Target ( identified substances ) & Non-Target Testing ( Non-Intentionally Added Substances ) - Non-Plastic Materials including recycled paper packaging - General Testing strategies for barrier and coatings - Use of recycled plastics for pharmaceutical packaging and risk assessment Access your delegate pass here: https://lnkd.in/daRRT6rk Access the agenda here: https://lnkd.in/dz4ZRn-K Mark your presence here: https://lnkd.in/dhQXiTfV liming low | Fu Huiyan | Cyn Yeo - CMP #CircularEconomy #PlasticPackaging #Sustainability #Recycling #GEPET #cmtGEPET #cmtCPP #foodcontact #rfpc #rpet #petrecycling #petbottling #plastics #drs  

Sustainability without sacrifice. With SABIC’s bio-circular and PCR-based NORYL™ resins, you don’t need to compromise when transitioning to #sustainable thermoplastics. Our NORYL, Flexible NORYL, NORYL GTX™ and NORYL PPX™ resins offer properties and processability comparable to those of equivalent fossil-based grades. ✅ Feedstocks for bio-circular NORYL resins are certified under ISCC PLUS. ✅ PCR-based NORYL grades can be formulated with 25% or more recycled content. Choose among several commercialized grades or request a sustainable version of just about any NORYL product. ⬇ Next steps: Download our new flyer, “Shrink Carbon Footprint with Sustainable NORYL Resins” (link from the comments) and contact your #SABIC rep. #plastics #SABIC #ChemistryThatMatters #plasticsengineering #plasticsindustry #chemicalindustry #SABICSpecialties
