PP and PE are used as packaging materials, snack wrappers, microwave containers, and other flexible, plastic films. Their flexibility  makes them resilient to recycling processes, and these plastics often end up in landfills or leak into the environment.

Innovations include AI-driven ceramics, next generation contact lenses, semiconductors, copper ink and more.
