Webinar: Making AI Work in Plastics R&D by Gardner Business Media, Inc. Webinars

About this Webinar

Artificial intelligence has become a competitive necessity in sustainable plastics research and development, yet many organizations are under pressure to adopt the technology without a clear or direct path to value. This webinar is designed for enterprise plastics leaders in R&D, innovation, product development and manufacturing who are exploring AI or struggling to move beyond isolated pilots.

Based on industry experience, the session will share practical AI-driven use cases, including predicting material durability and stability, replacing toxic materials, accelerating long development cycles, reducing formulation costs, implementing sustainability goals and moving from optimized R&D to streamlined production. Attendees will learn common pitfalls of AI adoption and how experienced partners enable confident, scalable and measurable impact in global enterprise organizations.
