Imagine using insects as a source of chemicals to make plastics that can biodegrade later — with the help of that very same type of bug. That concept reportedly is closer to reality than you might expect. On August 14, 2023, the American Chemical Society reported that researchers would describe their progress to date, including isolation and purification of insect-derived chemicals and their conversion into functional bioplastics.

Years of research and trials by Tejin have reportedly resulted in a production run of Twaron® using recycled feedstock. The high-modulus filament yarn produced with recycled content reportedly has the same strength and durability as Tejin's original renowned Twaron® fibers. With the successful completion of trials on an industrial scale commercialization of circular Twaron® should be a step closer.

On August 22, SABIC's STAMAX™ 30YH570 resin has earned the UL Verified Mark from Underwriters Laboratories. This 30 percent glass fiber-reinforced copolymer resin, a featured product offered under the company's BLUEHERO™ electrification initiative, reportedly is the first polymer used in electric vehicle (EV) battery systems to receive UL Verification for marketing claims of thermal and mechanical performance. UL Verification, reportedly based on an objective, scientific assessment by a respected third party, should give customers high confidence in the flame delay performance of this product.

Exposure to microplastics and nanoplastics — particles smaller than 5 millimeters and 1 micrometer across, respectively — have been linked to adverse health outcomes. Although some of their sources are well known, others haven't been thoroughly vetted yet. On July 26, 2023, ACS reported there were a number of recent papers published in ACS journals that detail new insights into the origins of some microscopic plastic pieces: laser-cut acrylic sheets, orthodontic rubber bands and children's food containers. The papers are listed below:
