Watch: Colorado State University Chemists Develop Recyclable Plastic

Four Colorado State University chemists have developed a new polymer that can be used to make plastic. This new polymer is lightweight, heat-resistant, strong, and durable, meaning it has all the features that make plastics valuable and desirable. What’s amazing about this new polymer is that it can be broken down to its starting monomers…

Four Colorado State University chemists have developed a new polymer that can be used to make plastic. This new polymer is lightweight, heat-resistant, strong, and durable, meaning it has all the features that make plastics valuable and desirable. What’s amazing about this new polymer is that it can be broken down to its starting monomers and then infinitely recycled without intensive procedures in a laboratory or using toxic chemicals.

CSU Ventures, an affiliate of CSU dedicated to transferring and commercializing technology developed at CSU, has provided seed money to fine-tune the synthesis process and make it more cost-effective. Plastic pollution has become a major environmental threat, with over 90 percent ending up in landfills, waterways, or the ocean. This new polymer is a major step toward creating waste-free, sustainable materials that could one day compete with conventional plastics.

UCB commits to Veeva Vault CRM for unified engagement

UCB commits to Veeva Vault CRM for unified engagement

UCB has committed to Veeva Vault CRM, which Veeva's release presents as an agentic CRM platform to drive unified engagement worldwide. Executives from both companies describe it as a foundation for commercial execution, while the AI claims, including the Agentic Call Report, come from Veeva's product description. No go-live date or financial terms were given.

  • 01The executive statements focus on Vault CRM as a foundation. The AI pitch, including the Agentic Call Report, comes from Veeva’s product description.
  • 02Veeva says the Agentic Call Report turns field call records into "Commercial Evidence" about treatment barriers that went unseen before. If that works, call-report data becomes something UCB can analyze.
  • 03Neither company disclosed a go-live date or financial terms. The first rollout milestone UCB names will be the signal that the move is actually happening.

Why ISPE put peptide and oligo facility design in one guide

Why ISPE put peptide and oligo facility design in one guide

ISPE's new Baseline Guide covers oligonucleotide and peptide facility design in one document, says Jim Love of CRB. It pairs a GMP survey of existing plants with a sustainability outlook and a piping safety framework for scale-up, while FDA's oligonucleotide guidances under dockets opened in 2022 and 2024 remain the regulator's own reference.

  • 01Peptide plants inherited API chemistry thinking and oligo plants biotech thinking; ISPE’s guide puts both modalities in one facility document with both inheritances.
  • 02The guide has three parts: a GMP survey of existing oligo and peptide plants, a forecast of how sustainability and scale will change the processes, and a safety framework for connective piping and equipment.
  • 03FDA keeps its own oligonucleotide-specific guidances under dockets opened in 2022 and 2024, so the ISPE guide works as an industry consensus alongside regulation rather than in place of it.

Collagen builder Astrion outdrew AstraGin at NuLiv's Bangkok booth

Collagen builder Astrion outdrew AstraGin at NuLiv's Bangkok booth

NuLiv Science says Astrion, its collagen-building ingredient, drew more interest than AstraGin at Vitafoods Asia 2026 in Bangkok, held September 2 to 4. Brands also asked for probiotic strains for pet weight loss, children, and women's health. New trials for AstraGin in Nutrients and Senactiv provide updated evidence for these distinct ingredients.

  • 01At Vitafoods Asia 2026 in Bangkok, Astrion drew more booth interest than AstraGin, NuLiv’s absorption flagship.
  • 02NuLiv says probiotic requests are now split by pet, child and life stage, and the show preview lists strains for women’s health, emotional wellbeing and the gut-muscle axis.
  • 03A newly published crossover trial in Nutrients found AstraGin raised branched-chain amino acid absorption and grip strength in adults aged 60 to 80.
