Revolutionizing Materials: How NPE2024 is Paving the Way for Sustainable Manufacturing Practices”.

If you are searching for a new material that meets the needs of your manufacturing process and product, look no further than the Materials Science Zone. This is where you can access research, resources, and knowledge to make informed decisions about additives and colorants. The Materials Science Zone is located along the back wall of the South Hall and is an ideal place to engage with industry experts and understand the chemistry behind materials that align with your requirements.

Windmill Plastics, an injection molder, was looking for an affordable system to monitor its shop floor activities. The company has successfully created a digital supervisor that automates several manual tasks, providing greater efficiency. As the circular economy gains momentum, spurred by brand owner requests and global legislation, the entire supply chain is transitioning towards circularity. There are signs that the circular economy is already taking root, with efforts across various industries to promote sustainability.

Looking ahead to NPE2024, there are several key trends to watch in materials and additives. These include recycled, biobased, and biodegradable materials as well as monomaterial structures that enhance recyclability. Additives are also being developed to be more efficient, sustainable, and safer for use in manufacturing processes. Keep an eye on these developments at the event to stay ahead of the curve in the materials sector.
