Description
Rethinking Polymer Innovation is a thought-provoking and practical guide that explores how the global polymer industry must evolve in response to sustainability pressures, market realities, digital transformation, and changing innovation expectations. Written in clear, non-academic language, the book bridges the long-standing gap between scientific research and industrial application, highlighting why many innovations fail to reach the market—and how this can be changed.
Drawing on over two decades of global industry experience, the author presents a holistic framework that integrates research, sustainability, economics, collaboration, workforce development, and digital tools into modern polymer innovation. The book emphasizes life-cycle thinking, circular economy principles, real-world scalability, and the need for stronger collaboration between academia, industry, and policymakers.
Designed for industry leaders, managers, researchers, engineers, SMEs, students, and decision-makers, this e-book provides strategic insights rather than technical formulas—making it especially valuable for professionals involved in innovation planning, sustainability strategy, R&D management, and long-term business growth.
Rethinking Polymer Innovation is not just about new materials—it is about adopting a new mindset to build a sustainable, competitive, and future-ready polymer industry.
