Researchers at @UTArlington are testing asphalt made with recycled plastic that could help roads better withstand extreme heat and heavy traffic. Another example of how innovation can find new uses for used plastic while addressing real-world infrastructure challenges. bgr.com/2260156/texas-plasti…

Recycling isn't broken, but the system is undeniably complicated. By walking people through an experiential grocery store, we can bridge the education gap and make them recycling champions. plasticmakers.org/podcast/hi…

“Turning bottles into buildings.” MIT spinout Atlas Building Composites is using waterless recycling and robotic manufacturing to turn used plastics into building products, including decking, foundation elements and structural trusses. An innovative new approach to finding high-value uses for used plastic. thecooldown.com/green-tech/m…

Now Playing on Sustainably Speaking: host Mia Quinn heads to Chicago and an experiential grocery store to explore how the food and packaging industries are making everyday products more recyclable. plasticmakers.org/podcast/hi…

Why would one of the most iconic soda brands ditch its famous green bottle? It’s all about planning for the plastic's "next life" and making it more recyclable. Find out how plasticmakers.org/podcast/hi…

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…
