The latest issue of WSA leads with an important development from HeiQ that it claims has the potential to disrupt the industry, offering a cellulose-based alternative to polyester and nylon. 

We look at on-demand manufacturing – including microfactories, 3D knitting and digital platforms – and find out how French company Carbios’ new plant will validate its enzymatic recycling process for PET. 

New materials are brewing in labs and reactors the world over. But how far away is the biotech industry from producing polymers from bacteria and algae on an industrial scale? We find out.

Haelixa and Qima explain the developments behind their traceability-focused partnership. 

Plus, Make the Label Count, a new way to design shoes, the German footwear industry, and more.
