Rob Meek
Rob Meek, CEO of Impact Laboratories looks at how his company has developed methods to better analyse the diversity of additives in polymers, and argues that a focus on the segregation, separation and reprocessing of waste plastics is essential to increase plastic recycling.

In these current difficult times, process efficiency and consequently productivity is as vital in the plastics compounding plant as it is in any other manufacturing environment. Advances in materials handling techniques can play a big part in the compounding operation. Jennifer Markarian explains.

Curauá fibre is one of many natural fibres suggested as a suitable replacement for less ‘green’ glass and carbon fibre reinforcements – especially in the automotive sector. Scientists from SABIC in Brazil looked at how its use can be optimized with polyamide 6 and polypropylene.
