Manufacturing Boom in the Bioreactor Bag Marketplace

Today, manufacturers in science and pharmaceuticals have an increased need for single-use bioreactor bags. Additionally, the recent pandemic has strained an already growing industry with the need for manufacturing vaccines around the world.

We have been a trusted source of thermal plastic assembly equipment here at Thermal Press International since 1976. As a result, we are a leader in the bioreactor bag marketplace, ready to meet the increased demands that today's manufacturing processes require.

Increased Demand for Bioreactor Bags

The rise of plastic polymers drastically changed the industrial manufacturing landscape around the world. As new compounds became available, better products and cheaper production techniques led to unprecedented growth in the manufacturing sector. Modern plastics exist in almost every product in use today.

Although this innovative material enables the world’s latest technical innovations, its effects on the environment need to be considered. It’s because of these effects that new efforts to control plastics in our waste stream have received focus from researchers and legislators.

The Origins of Plastics: A Surprising History

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) recently published guidelines that promote the use of chemically sustainable compounds for every stage during the lifecycle of plastic manufacturing. While it’s clear that plastics remain essential to human manufacturing, the compounds used in the future will no longer come with the adverse environmental effects we’ve seen in the past.

It may surprise you to learn that plastics aren’t necessarily synthetic. In fact, rubber that comes from rubber..
