AI in the plastics industry.
From formulation to recycling – artificial intelligence is making an increasingly significant mark on the plastics industry. It is no longer just about data analysis or task automation; AI now supports successive stages of the value chain, ranging from material design and formulation development to process control.
AI-powered search tools help in selecting plastics and finding alternatives more quickly, based on technical properties or price. However, they cannot identify every potential supplier—for instance, those whose offerings lack a strong online presence, perhaps due to the absence of a proper website. For this reason, it is advisable to verify the results provided by various search tools and AI agents using platforms such as PoliVerif.
