Commonsense recycling policies can help American manufacturers grow, create jobs, and strengthen our economy. Let’s keep American jobs and investments at home. Pass the Recycled Materials Attribution Act now (H.R. 7502): plasticmakers.org/take-actio…

Today is #energyefficiency day—a chance to highlight the innovations helping our homes, buildings and infrastructure use energy more efficiently. Plastic building materials are part of that story: • Plastic insulation, wraps and sealants can help reduce heating and cooling losses. • Durable plastic pipes can lower water-system costs and enable upgrades with less disruption. • Plastic composites are helping strengthen roads and bridges. As the U.S. invests in its infrastructure, plastics can help make it more energy efficient and resilient. plasticmakers.org/innovation… #EEDay

What does a frozen french fry giant have in common with a chicken nugget leader? Enough that they've started teaming up to make food packaging more sustainable. Find out how plasticmakers.org/podcast/hi…

There's one grocery shopper you can never fool with recycled packaging — and they have whiskers 🐱 See why @marsglobal has a team of dogs and cats helping make food packaging more recyclable. plasticmakers.org/podcast/hi…

Next time you're at the grocery store, look closely at your food packaging. That hot dog package might look simple, but it could be made of nine different plastics layered together.  This is why mono-material packaging is the ultimate goal for true recyclability. @MarsGlobal explains the shift on Sustainably Speaking plasticmakers.org/podcast/hi…

Plastic turned into nanodiamonds—using lasers. Researchers have developed a process to transform PET plastic (think beverage bottles) into nanodiamonds. The team is exploring how the process could be scaled and used in advanced materials, energy technology and medicine. phys.org/news/2026-09-laser-…

7% sounds small but its tens of *millions* of pounds of material that can now be recycled thanks to advances in packaging from @marsglobal. Check out how food packaging is becoming more sustainable on the latest Episode of Sustainably Speaking. plasticmakers.org/podcast/hi…

From energy-efficient buildings to resilient water systems, roads, and bridges, plastic building materials help strengthen the infrastructure communities rely on. Learn how plastics can help reduce energy use, improve durability and lower costs in our homes, buildings and infrastructure. plasticmakers.org/innovation…

We visited an experimental grocery store and sat down with @MarsGlobal and @Borouge to see how the food industry is redesigning food packaging to be more recyclable. Our latest episode of Sustainably Speaking is OUT NOW. plasticmakers.org/podcast/hi…

♟️In Kibera, Nairobi, recycled plastic is being turned into chess sets that help teach critical thinking to young people. Watch the story: dw.com/en/recycled-plastic-c…

Recycling innovation is helping expand the possibilities for everyday products. @Rubbermaid is bringing @Eastman’s Tritan Renew, made with certified recycled content through advanced recycling technology, to its food storage containers. eastman.com/en/media-center/…

Plastic is being re-engineered. New packaging designs are balancing performance with making flexible packaging easier to recycle. See how innovation is reshaping plastic packaging: packaging-gateway.com/featur… #Plastics #Packaging #Innovation
