Revolutionizing Materials with Sustainability at NPE2024: Exploring Additives, Biobased and Recycled Materials, and Circular Economy Innovations.

If you’re seeking a new material that aligns with your manufacturing process and product, the Materials Science Zone is the place to be. Positioned along the back wall of the South Hall, this zone provides access to research, resources, and knowledge to help you make informed decisions about additives and colorants. Engage with industry experts and understand the chemistry behind materials that meet your requirements.

Windmill Plastics, an injection molder, sought an affordable system for production monitoring. The company successfully created a digital supervisor that automates several manual tasks, providing greater efficiency. As the circular economy gains momentum, spurred by brand owner requests and global legislation, the entire supply chain is transitioning towards circularity. Signs suggest that the circular economy is already taking root, with efforts across various industries to promote sustainability.

Looking ahead to NPE2024, several key trends are emerging in materials and additives. These include recycled, biobased, and biodegradable materials as well as monomaterial structures that enhance recyclability. Additives are also being developed to be more efficient, sustainable, and safer for use in manufacturing processes. Keep an eye on these developments at the event to stay ahead of the curve in the materials sector.
