How can you tell different plastics apart? Try the scrunch test! If it scrunches, it's flexible/soft plastics, if it doesn’t it’s a hard/rigid plastic. Knowing the difference is crucial because they're disposed of differently. Comment below what hard plastics you’ve discovered through the scrunch test!  #JointheCulture #PAKPRODrivingCircularity

🌱 A New Study on Transforming the Polyurethane Foam Industry! 🌱 Most recent article by Mona Abadian and Jennifer D. Russell explores possible ways of creating a more sustainable polyurethane foam industry. Adopting the backcasting approach, the study engages diverse stakeholders to identify actionable pathways for implementing circular economy principles.The backcasting methodology has been applied for the first time in an industrial context to facilitate voluntary discussions and reveal potential for the future fostering of positive change. 🔍 By thoroughly investigating number of perspectives, the article highlights mainly the role of collaborative vision that is needed among industry representatives who should co-create a strategic roadmap for circular transition. For many experts from Polyurethane Foam industry, it is also important that changes take place in various processes from developing industry-wide material specifications to simplifying chemical formulations and innovating feedstock sourcing.🔄 You can explore other identified strategic pathways here: https://lnkd.in/d7AuxBsi Special thanks to the handling editors of this article: Benjamin Sprecher and Brian Baldassarre #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #PolyurethaneFoam #PolyurethaneFoamIndustry #Innovation #BackcastingApproach #EnvironmentalImpact #IndustryTransformation

🔬✨ How PET Plastic is Made! ✨🔬 Curious about the journey from raw materials to the PET bottles and containers we use daily? Let’s break it down! 🌍🔧 Raw Materials 🌿: PET starts with ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. Polymerization 🏭: These are chemically reacted to form PET polymer pellets. Melting & Extrusion 🔥: Pellets are melted, extruded into strands, cooled, and chopped. Molding 🏗️: Pellets are heated and blown into shapes like bottles and containers. Cooling & Inspection ❄️🔍: Products are cooled and inspected for quality. Packaging 🚛📦: Finished PET products are packaged and distributed. At WKAi, we ensure high-quality, sustainable PET chips, resin and production.
