Lifoam Industries (Greenville, South Carolina, USA), a business segment and subsidiary of LifeMade Products, has been awarded multiple patents for making and molding an entirely new type of biobased ...
Incubators are widely used in cold chain transportation, especially in today’s life of highly developed e-commerce and direct supply of fresh products. How to deliver fresh foods to consumers has ...
A famous Chinese entrepreneur once said: Even a pig can fly if it stands at the center of a storm. But the storm that bioplastics needed to take flight did not arrive in China, or, for that matter, ...
Increased demands for high-quality playing fields for sport and soccer, and more intense competition for playing space, have resulted in a new generation of synthetic grass fields: with the same ...
“The chemical industry has long known that we need an alternative to petroleum that offers both economic and environmental benefits,” says Dr. Markus Steilemann, Covestro Board Member responsible for ...
The consumption habits of our society mark the current trend of food packaging. Aspects such as food safety associated to the growing variety of processed food with demanding conservation ...
Although biodegradable plastics first appeared on the market over 15 years ago, these plastics still only have a share of less than 1 % of the total plastics market. The reality is that the cost of ...
Thanks to a new processing technique, foamable particles that are based on renewable resources can be processed into individual molded parts, e. g. for utilization as packaging material. Subsequent ...
The Biopolymer Network Limited (BPN) team from Rotorua, New Zealand, who developed Zealafoam®, a PLA based alternative to expanded polystyrene (EPS), continues to develop new opportunities for ...
Nowadays, polymer foams are widely used because the cellular structure leads to a low thermal conductivity and specific impact resistance, which are necessary for applications such as insulation or ...
Making materials lighter is one of the main challenges of society today because it involves cutting down on the use of raw materials, reducing fuel consumption in vehicles and increasing the thermal ...
