Knowde brings cutting-edge online buying experience to plastic packaging materials

Knowde has launched the plastics for packaging segment of its global platform. 

Specifiers, converters, compounders and buyers can now search, filter, collaborate, request samples and quotes, and purchase everything they need – from raw materials to compounded products – all in one place. 

Knowde’s plastics for packaging segment offers a wide array of vinyl polymers, polyolefins, polyamides, styrenics, polyesters and copolyesters, pigments and colorants from hundreds of the industry’s top producers, including DuPont, Mitsubishi Chemical, AdvanSix, Sasol, Invista and Vynova.

“From protecting the food that we eat to creating tamper-proof safeguards for medical and pharmaceutical applications, plastic packaging materials play a vital role in the production of the bottles, bags, shrink wrap, stretch film, blister packs and clamshells that consumers use every day,” said Dan Haas, Chief Commercial Officer at Knowde. “Plastic packaging is often considered to be the most recyclable, sustainable alternative among packaging material options.” 

Knowde’s powerful search capabilities enable users to explore materials by chemistry, application, function, technical properties and more. Additionally, KnowdeConcierge™ provides access to expert advice and insight on all manufacturer, brand and product pages, and ensures prompt replies to inquiries. Signup is free for R&D and procurement professionals.
