With the microcellular technology, in which a foam structure is created in the polymer by environmentally friendly gases such as CO2 and N2, it is possible to reduce the packaging weight.

Less Plastic for More Sustainable Packaging

Two European projects aim to advance the research and development of bio-based plastics in the European Union (EU) and thus protect nature and the environment from global plastic waste pollution.

The World Market for PMMA Continues to Show Solid Growth 

Despite the tough market environment, the global sales market for polymethyl methacrylate is showing solid business growth and is leveling out demand fluctuations. Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on non-cyclical specialties in established application fields outside the fast-moving opto-electronics industry. This decision is intended to promote solid growth in the medium term.
