Plastics have long played a key role in enabling the design and production of numerous #medicaldevices . But intensive work continues in design studios and materials labs around the world to advance the technology used to save and extend lives. Here is a sampling of some of that work. Introducing the world's first bio-pipette #ElmplasticGmbH , a German manufacturer of dosing aids and primary pharmaceutical packaging, has launched the first commercially available pipette made from bioplastic. The Dudeldorf-based company said it worked with materials maker #BiovoxGmbH and the German subsidiary of international plastics distributor #UltrapolymersGroup . The product, dubbed #BioPipette , uses Biovox's MedEco bioplastic. These polymers consist either entirely of #polylacticacid (PLA) or 95 percent #biobasedpolyethylene (PE). They are approved for use in the medical sector, and the resins are compliant with ISO 10993. Compared to existing pipettes made of polyethylene or polypropy...

Industry efforts appear to have been successful, repeating narratives raising economic and competitiveness concerns to push back on stronger chemical regulations.

Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, today announced that its catalysts had enabled significantly higher emission reductions in 2025 compared to the previous year. Avoided greenhouse gas emissions amounted to 45 million tons of CO2e, 5 million tons higher than in 2024. The emission reductions[1] were made possible by the company's innovative technologies, such as reforming catalysts for producing direct reduced iron (DRI) and nitrous oxide abatement catalysts for nitric acid plants, as well as syngas catalysts for producing green methanol either through electrolytic hydrogen from renewable electricity or from bio-feedstocks . Additionally, Clariant's catalysts for refinery off-gas purification contributed to these avoided #emissions, helping refineries and crude-to-chemical complexes reduce their environmental footprint. The #DRIprocess , as one example, has only half of the #CO2 intensity compared to conventional steel production. Jens Cuntze, Presi...

The technology enables thermoplastic components – especially those made of #Ultramid® Advanced ( #polyphthalamide PPA) – to be welded significantly faster, more energy-efficiently and in a more material-friendly manner than with conventional hot gas welding processes. At the heart of the patented solution is a special tool design: the hot process gas is no longer blown onto the #weldingribs selectively from individual nozzles; instead, it is guided in a targeted manner along the welding ribs via channel-like structures. This ensures even gas distribution and minimizes heat losses. The welding ribs are plasticized more homogeneously without requiring high gas temperatures or very small nozzle distances. Short welding times and high strengths: “Tests on PPA specimens have shown that the patented process can produce durable w...
