Regulating Plastics
How can you ensure the recyclability and sustainability of plastic products and components without sacrificing quality?
Using plastic waste to build new and more sustainable plastic products reduces our reliance on fossil fuels and raw materials. By building sustainability into the design phase and throughout the product lifecycle, manufacturers, formulators, and other stakeholders can ensure that their products' end-of-life marks a new beginning, when their product is reused, recycled, reconstituted, degraded, or composted.
But building a circular plastics economy can mean confronting multiple regulatory, compliance, and performance issues. Exponent closely monitors the continually changing regulatory landscape for plastics to help stakeholders balance quality, functionality, versatility, and marketability with the sustainability and environmental impacts of their products.
From single-use plastic packaging to highly durable materials to structural adhesives, we help clients meet their quality and sustainability metrics by evaluating polymer formulations for short-term and long-term performance. We also offer expert product support for issues from biodegradability to consumer education and labeling.
