PCS Company donated an 11-by-18-inch four-cavity ASTM D638 Type 1 Tensile Bar mold base equipped with pressure sensors to help manage injection control at Ferris State University’s plastics engineering technology program.Ferris State University
Ferris State University, home to one of the nation’s few plastics engineering technology programs, is taking significant strides in preparing the next generation of manufacturing professionals. Thanks to a collaborative effort with PCS Company and Detail Technologies, the university is equipping its students with cutting-edge tools and expertise to meet the demands of an evolving industry.
Located in Big Rapids, MI, Ferris State recently received a permanent donation of equipment from PCS Company, including a mold base, side locks, and other components. This contribution is designed to help students develop critical skills and understand how variables such as resins, process conditions, and environmental factors influence product performance.
Representatives from PCS, based in Fraser, MI, and Detail Technologies, headquartered in Wyoming, MI, visited Ferris State to engage with students and support the university’s plastics engineering technology program. Their involvement underscores a shared commitment to fostering talent and innovation in the plastics industry.

国家邮政局：推进邮政领域禁限塑政策落实——对十四届全国人大四次会议第1275号建议的答复
国家邮政局经商市场监管总局，正式答复全国人大代表关于推进邮政领域禁限塑政策落实的建议。文件披露：十四五期间全行业塑料包装袋厚度减量50%、塑料胶带减量25%；2022年底北京、上海、江苏、浙江、福建、广东及海南率先实现禁塑目标；2025年将快递禁限塑纳入《快递暂行条例》；中国邮政在8省42地市投放生物降解竹快递袋；邮政、京东、顺丰、韵达在20余城市试点快递循环包装；快递包装绿色产品认证已颁发291张证书；全行业包装标准化率达86%。下一步将制定以竹代塑指导意见、扩大禁塑产品范围（含发泡保温箱、气泡袋等）、强化执法稽查和溯源认证体系。
塑料循环经济中，化工可以做什么？
本文以南京盛庆和化工的行业视角，系统阐述化工行业在塑料循环经济中的角色与路径。文章指出中国塑料消费量占全球15%，但2020年废塑料回收率仅23.09%，循环利用任重道远。核心讨论了机械回收与化学回收两种技术的优劣：机械回收成本高、分拣难、产品降级利用；化学回收可将废塑料拆分为单体实现闭环，但技术尚不成熟、经济性待验证。文章以赢创（Evonik）为例，展示了化工助剂（表面活性剂、消泡剂、润湿剂、VESTOPLAST®相容剂等）在提升机械回收效率与再生料性能方面的关键作用，以及甲醇醇解化学回收PET的研发进展。结论强调：发展塑料循环经济需要技术突破、产业链全生命周期合作、政策引导与消费者意识提高的四方协同。
塑料化学回收连获重大突破，国内产业化在即，全新万亿级风口正在到来！_裂解_技术_循环
塑料化学回收技术在中国取得了重大突破，特别是在生物酶解聚PET再生工业化装置和混合废塑料深度催化裂解（CPDCC）技术方面。这些技术不仅能耗低、碳排放少，还能处理各种低价值的PET废弃物，实现了从废弃端到原料端的闭环循环。万凯新材与Carbios的合作项目标志着全球首套年产5万吨的生物酶解聚PET再生工业化装置的诞生，而惠城环保则通过其CPDCC技术，为废塑料的化学循环提供了新的解决方案。这些进展预示着塑料化学回收产业即将迎来一个全新的万亿级市场。
