Altium Packaging is seeking subject matter experts to develop injection molding grades of post-consumer resins (PCR) with specific performance characteristics, focusing on sustainable packaging solutions that meet food-grade standards.
Background
Altium Packaging is at the forefront of sustainable packaging solutions and is seeking to enhance its product offerings by developing new injection molding grades of post-consumer resins (PCR). The focus is on creating materials that not only meet stringent food-grade standards but also deliver specific performance characteristics for optimized injection molding processes.
Our current focus is on fractional melt high-density polyethylene (HDPE) PCR, with a melt flow index (MFI) range of 0.5 to 0.8. We aim to collaborate with experts who can provide insights into techniques for increasing the MFI to a target range of 3-5 while achieving the target let-down ratio (LDR) of 2%. Ensuring compliance with food safety standards is a fundamental requirement of this project.
By engaging with experts in this field, we aim to drive innovation and make significant strides in sustainable packaging technology.
