Guys, my new article for Packaging Digest Magazine titled "Yesterday's Promising 'Green' Materials: Where are they now?" was published last week!

Article includes a "Where are they now?" discussion of the following non traditional resins for thermoforming:

  • PLA

  • Enhanced PLA

  • PHA

  • DPET

  • Foamed RPET

  • Algae plastic

  • Algae plastic

Material Profiles include descriptions of:

  • Environmental performance & credentials

  • Technical properties

  • Strategic market analysis

All information on materials collected through primary interviews with material suppliers.
