Download this free bundle now and explore ways to tackle the challenges we face when screening recycled plastics for safety and material properties.
Over the past few years, plastics have been brought to the forefront of public awareness with the widespread publication of images and data showing the damaging impact of plastic waste. But solving the plastic pollution problem involves involves every part of the plastic value chain – from sourcing to end-of-life. A deep understanding of the chemicals and materials involved as well as trust in analytical equipment is key to ensure performance, quality, and safety are not compromised.
