For example, you could find that one design achieves a certain percent more in performance than another design, such as in impact resistance or strength. Many metals can approximate linear elastic behavior, but polymer behavior is not so easily simplified to one modulus, making it more challenging to predict performance based on a data sheet.

This is a feature that no one else can offer, giving us a clear competitive advantage.” As one final benefit, Brooks is regrinding and reusing its post-industrial scrap, further reducing its environmental footprint.

But for a global medical device manufacturer time had stood still for a key component in one of its products.  When the company decided to redesign this critical valve insert for one of its medical pumps, the project was beset with problems.

The textile industry is currently one of many major industries under pressure to rapidly reduce its environmental impact. One way clothing and footwear producers are working to address these priorities is by using more recycled raw materials, such as recycled polyester from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, within their synthetic fibers.

Parents can feel comfortable giving their little ones The Good Duck.”  CelebriDucks chose blow molding rather than two-shot injection molding or rotational molding to achieve a one-piece floating toy that would also remain soft to the touch.

One example is Avient’s patented AA scavenger, ColorMatrix™ AAnchor™ Acetaldehyde Scavenger, developed to mitigate the issues associated with ATA-based solutions. Standard testing protocols typically involve one full recycle loop, but as the use of rPET increases, it becomes essential to test through multiple recycle loops.
