Commenting on the financial performance of the company Mr. Pankaj Poddar, CEO, Cosmo Films Ltd. said, “We have had one of the best quarterly results with a significant contribution coming from sales of newly developed products
UFlex, a pioneer in Multilayer Plastic Manufacturing and Waste recycling, is scaling up its recycling strength to help build a circular economy, by the way of setting up two lines that will wash and recycle post-consumer waste and subsequently give a second life to plastics.
A recent study by Wageningen University & Research (WUR), Netherlands, analysed the fate of compostable packaging products in a full- scale industrial organic waste treatment facility. The results show that the tested EN13432 certified products break down within a maximum of 22 days
PRISM, a UK based consortium which includes Johnson Matthey, Brunel University, Mirage Inks and CCL Labels, is poised to separate plastic to food-grade quality in a single step.
The 3-phase Activ-Polymer platform technology offers customized active packaging solutions designed to meet the drug developer’s specific formulation as well as provide a broad spectrum of drug-specific protection, including aroma emitting, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) scavenging, and anti-microbial scavenging, according to Aptar CSP.
Aptar leverages BAP (bonded-aluminum to plastic) technology to combat this e-commerce packaging frustration. BAP creates a permanent seal between the closure and container, making it ideal for the rigors of e-commerce distribution. In particular, the prototype Olympian 120mm closure is a great solution for sports nutritional powder packages, with its easy-to-open pull-tab, convenient flip top design, and hygienic scoop holder.
State-of the-art technologies sort post-consumer polystyrene waste content with final product purity higher than 99.9%.
The combination of INEOS Styrolution’s investments in multiple recycling projects and Tomra’s advanced sorting technologies takes us another step closer to developing closed-loop solutions for styrenics.
Industrial citrus waste is reborn as a sustainable label material

Mounted atop cardboard, it comes with information on water content, pulp, sweetness level and edible quantity.
The bottle uses fermented sugars in the plant sources to convert it into a durable 100 per cent plant-based resin called Polylactic Acid or PLA . The resin is durable in the high temperatures of UAE summers.
A further step forward in terms of lightweight packaging, this complete and high-performing solution also demonstrates the ability to anticipate the new European standards coming into force in 2024.
