Sustainable Materials & New Testing Needs

As we watch our customers make strides and develop the latest sustainable solutions for their existing products it is energizing to see the innovation. With emerging materials we know that the testing needs may also be impacted in the future. When it comes to research and development testing is critical – your materials need to hold up to existing quality standards and meet your sustainability goals. This might be achieved through the choice of raw materials used, the production process, resource efficiency, eco innovation or waste reduction.

Stay focused on the future and sustainability goals.

We have seen our customers continuously focus on improved quality as well as development of new materials.  Stakeholders and consumers are seeking increased priority on sustainability and that is making an impact on a broad range of materials and their evolution to market. With the expansion of the emphasis on circular sustainable materials for manufacturing companies, it will continue to be important to build strong materials testing procedures to validate quality.

Testing is critical to help with cost savings, reducing waste due to quality issues, testing compliance, and product performance.

Our team is ready to discuss your testing applications as you advance your commitment toward future sustainability goals. We can help determine the right equipment to stay in compliance while continuing to work towards goals that are driven by the sustainable future and circular materials. Here are some examples of testing that might be applied to verify the viability of changing material compositions or new solutions for your products as they move through production:

• Tensile strength of your biodegradable materials
• Thickness of your plant based plastic films
• Handle strength for your paperboard container
• Wet tensile strength of your coated paperboard
• Seal strength of your new film solution
• Opening force of your bamboo paper box
