On 5 June, the European Commission published a Commission Notice providing further clarity about the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation in practice. We take a closer look at the document to understand its requirements in detail, including the current status of PFAS restrictions, the…
In this Innovation Spotlight, Dow outlines how its extrusion coating portfolio aims to support recyclability requirements and regulatory readiness, and how its collaboration with RDM Group demonstrates how lightweight polymer coatings can extend the use of fibre-based packaging into applications…
A project run by AIMPLAS, Potato Bioplastics, and Gaviplas is set to bolster the mechanical and barrier properties of flexible bioplastic packaging in the food, cosmetics, personal hygiene, detergent, and cleaning sectors.
In a new project, AIMPLAS plans to use solvent-free mechanochemical techniques to turn plant waste into packaging and adhesives, keeping harmful substances out of landfill and the natural environment.
AIMPLAS is participating in the EcoeFISHent project with a vision of transforming fish gelatine and fishing nets into food and cosmetic packaging, respectively.
AIMPLAS, the Plastics Technology Centre, has apparently converted synthetic plastics into biodegradable bioplastics through methods based on microwaves and reactive extrusion as part of the BioICEP Project; the results are set for use in the packaging and pharma industries.
The European BeonNAT project claims to have demonstrated the viability of cultivating biomass from poplar, elm, birch, and other organic materials to produce bioplastics for bioactive cosmetics, biochar, activated carbon, and pet litter with essential oils.
AIMPLAS is developing PHA-based water vapour barrier coatings for bioplastics and reinforced materials with improved mechanical properties as part of the European PRESERVE project – aspiring to preserve food, beverages, and non-renewable resources.
AIMPLAS, the Plastics Technology Centre, has manufactured a plastic film from used coffee grounds to be used in flexible packaging applications in the wider pursuit of converting urban biowaste at scale.
AIMPLAS has announced that its reactive extrusion pilot line is ready to produce bio-based nanomaterials for food packaging and agricultural solutions as part of the BIOMAC project.
Nineteen European partners have united under Buddie-Pack, a reusable plastic packaging project aiming to promote the utilisation of recycled plastics by preserving their protective properties and developing new cleaning solutions – an effort reportedly backed by the European Union.
AIMPLAS, the Plastics Technology Centre, is working on developing bioplastics for active cosmetics packaging made from trees and shrubs, within the EU-funded BeonNAT Project.
