machinery Sustainability: LS Mtron is with you through environmentally friendly injection solutions! Since the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol, there has been a concerted global effort towards the development and industrialization of eco-friendly plastics to combat the effects of global warming. In recent times, researchers have been exploring the use of non-edible resources such as waste paper, cellulose, rice straw, corn husk, and sawdust as materials for the production of eco-friendly plastics, and some of these solutions are already being applied in practice. As environmental concerns continue to gain traction around the globe, the traditional focus of the packaging industry on the research, development, and commercialization of biodegradable plastics is gradually evolving. This shift in focus has led to increased investment in the development of eco-friendlymaterials from the packaging industry and the automobile parts industry, among others. An eco-friendly production process goes beyond just using sustainable raw materials. It also involves incorporating environmentally friendly elements into every stage of the completion process, from raw materials to production. This can be achieved by altering some of the raw materials or implementing new technology during production, which ultimately reduces carbon dioxide emissions. The demand fo r eco -f r i end l y solutions is on the rise with the growing implementation of ESGmanagement and carbon reduction policies worldwide. The South Korean government's recent announcement to replace all petroleum- based plastics with bioplastics by 2050 has further brought attention to the need for sustainable solutions. At LS Mtron, people are committed to contributing towards a better future by integrating ESG management practices and eco-friendly injection solutions in their operations.
