Summary:Energy efficiency in polymer processing has become an essential priority for modern industry. The growing demand for plastic products and the pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have driven companies to seek innovative solutions to improve the energy efficiency of their processes. Here, Realpe reviews technologies and practices that are transforming the sector, highlighting the importance of energy efficiency for industrial sustainability. To address the challenges associated with improving energy efficiency in polymer production, various emerging technologies are being implemented. The use of advanced monitoring and control systems allows companies to monitor energy consumption in real time and adjust processes to optimize efficiency. These systems can identify inefficiencies in production, quality, processes, or technology and provide critical data for decision-making.
