Materials science is at the core of every industry, as its innovations will lead to more sustainable manufacturing practices. In this study, we explore sustainable materials, their types, and the innovation observed across several industries. Sustainable materials are classified as follows: 1) Organic Material 2) Natural Biodegradable Polym...

The growing scarcity of natural resources, along with the harmful environmental impact of emissions and discarded materials in landfills and water bodies, is the pressing global challenge. This challenge has warranted the need to adopt circular economy principles over the prevailing linear economy models in every stage of any industry’s supply ch...

Buy now, pay later (BNPL), also referred to as point of sale (PoS) installment loans, is a short-term financing option that enables consumers to spread out payments for purchases over a period of time. The increase in eCommerce activity during the COVID-19 pandemic brought along with it a strong interest in alternative spending options. BNPL, a sub...

AGVS streamlines tasks in order fulfillment in logistics centers as well as improve safety in production lines. AGVs can perform more than material handling such as scanning barcodes and transferring the scanned data to the central cloud system. AGVs automate all the material handling tasks and remove the need for having workers to move materials w...

The demand for thin films has been immense because of the miniaturization trend. Developers of semiconductors and energy storage devices have been experimenting with atomic layer deposition technology for mass deployment, recognizing the shift from testing the product for specific application requirements to scaling the technology according to grow...

Consumers, especially in the Western world, are looking for clean-label products. Circular economy is a key enabler for environmental friendly products, and reverse logistics, as a method to integrate the consumer in the upcycling and production cycle, is reinforcing this potential marketing aspect. Reverse logistics is the process of collecting...

MIM is very cost-effective for manufacturing high volume complex parts. The technology allows varied industries to produce components with very minimal metal (material) wastage. MIM reduces assembly part count and the number of bond joints in a component. This reduces the requirement of an assembly process (machinery, equipment) and associated manp...

During the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), the European Union and the United States announced their commitments to become carbon neutral by 2050, while China and India, the first- and third-largest emitters, plan to become carbon neutral by 2060 and 2070, respectively. Low-income countries will struggle to reduce their carbon...
