Perfectly Formed: Injection Molding Surfaces and Their Impact on Function & Design
In this article, we will show you the different types of surfaces available in injection moulding and the associated challenges. We will also demonstrate how our 6-pack carrier made from sunflower seed shells, presented alongside Haidlmair at the Arburg Technology Days 2023, serves as the perfect example.
Golden Compound Relies on Bio-PBS and Sunflower Seed Shells – Sustainable Plastics with Excellent Processing Properties
Plastic pollution is a major environmental issue. We need new materials that are environmentally friendly yet strong. One such material is polybutylene succinate (PBS). This biodegradable plastic is an excellent alternative to conventional plastics, such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP).
Earth Overshoot Day 2025 – What It Means and Why We Need to Act
To push Earth Overshoot Day back, we must make significant changes to our economic systems and consumer behaviors.
WPC vs. S²PC – both materials have their merits, but which one is right for you?
Biocomposites are currently popular because they combine the advantages of technical plastics with natural fibres, providing a sustainable alternative to materials that are purely fossil-based.

Why you should use compostable products in the living room too
"You can’t put that on the table – it’s compostable!"
We hear statements like this all the time when it comes to biodegradable products such as plant pots. But this common misunderstanding makes many people doubt bioplastics, which is completely unfair. In this article, we explain what biodegradable materials really do, why they do not "disintegrate on their own" and why they are even ideal for indoor use.
Comparison of barrier values
Our home-compostable coffee capsules are made from bioplastics, so they're an excellent alternative to aluminium and plastic. They're great because they retain the full flavour and can simply be disposed of in your home compost – no residue!
PPWR and Golden Compound – Proper Disposal
The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is a new EU regulation. It will come into force in 2025, with some requirements being gradually implemented by 2030. Its aim is to improve the sustainability of packaging, reduce packaging waste and harmonize regulations within the EU member states.
