ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Microplastics are a real concern. But most conversations miss what actually happens inside manufacturing.
In this episode, we break down how injection molders operate to reduce waste and limit microplastic generation. From clean facilities and material handling to regrind processes and efficient production, this is a practical look at what's happening on the ground.
We also talk about where microplastics are more likely to come from and why manufacturing is only part of the conversation.
