Biodegradable vs. Compostable - What’s the Real Difference and Why Does It Matter?
While all compostable products are biodegradable, the terms are not interchangeable. Compostable items are a regulated subset that must break down within a specific timeframe under controlled, aerobic conditions to produce nutrient-rich soil. This distinction is critical for infrastructure, as anaerobic decomposition in landfills produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. The FTC’s Green Guides ensure manufacturers provide clear, verifiable evidence for all environmental claims to protect consumers from confusion and greenwashing.

Child-Resistant Closures: How Do They Work and Where Can You Use Them?
Child-Resistant Closures (CRCs) are a vital safety feature mandated by the CPSC under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) for dozens of hazardous products, including prescription medication, household cleaners, and cannabis products. These closures require a minimum of two motions to open, like the common "push down and turn" mechanism, making them difficult for children under five to access quickly, while remaining easy for adults.
Read MoreWhat Is Injection Molding and How Does It Work?
Injection molding is a highly efficient manufacturing process used across nearly every industry. The process works by injecting resin (like HDPE, PP, or PET) into a clamped mold, where it cools under pressure before being ejected. The six precise steps of the process are clamping, injection, dwelling, cooling, mold opening, and ejection. While initial lead times can be long, the advantages of injection molding are its high efficiency and unmatched repeatability for creating identical, high-precision components at scale.
