• Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life
and quality of food, beverages, medicine and
other perishable goods through high-
performance materials that require less plastic
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier
traditional materials like metal, glass and wood,
which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of
transportation
• Breakthrough technologies that minimize
wastewater, improve the recyclability of materials
and advance a circular economy
• Composite solutions to support accelerated
growth of 5G / fiber-optic infrastructure
investment as the world demands greater and
faster connectivity
