I fell down a rabbit hole playing about with different scenarios using the tool earlier - and I hope the world's policymakers do the same before and during their discussions next week.

Great news for any UK processors with a skills gap to close...Spain's plastic processing experts @aimplas have just launched English-language versions of their training courses.

@KM_GmbH has launched smartOperation, an intuitive machine function that separates the process settings from the actual operator interface – so operators are guided through the entire production process in a clear, structured way
