The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) invites members and colleagues to a webinar entitled Polymers in Packaging: Manufacturing-Consumption-Recycling, which will be run in partnership with PerkinElmer on 10 November.

The Polymer Market consists of a huge diversity of manufacturers of industrial products running many different processes yet still facing similar challenges.

There is more and more pressure to achieve high product quality and reduce costs to stay one step ahead of the competition.

Analysis in polymer manufacturing is essential for many industries including packaging and the ever-growing recycling industry.

Materials laboratories face increasing polymer testing challenges from raw materials right up to finished products. Material identification and characterisation is crucial at every stage.

In this webinar Perkin Elmer will discuss the developing circular economy associated with plastics manufacturing.

They will cover:

  • The challenges, insight and future trends of recycling plastics
  • How materials analysis could add value in the process of manufacturing and recycling
  • The cutting edge technology used to ensure product quality and throughput

Speakers: Steven Petinakis, Material Science Specialist, Pact Group and Tomer Simonovich, Sr. Product Applications Specialist – Materials Characterisation Platform, Perkin Elmer
