Consulting Engineers for Energy & Sustainability Management in Plastics Processing

Tangram Technology provides energy and sustainability management services to the plastics processing industry. We provide energy and sustainability surveys, energy and sustainability training, carbon footprinting calculations and technical writing to all areas of the plastics processing industry.

Services are specifically designed for plastics processors (it is all we have done for over 50 years) and other companies involved in polymer processing.

Tangram Technology supplies the specialist technical knowledge that is needed by plastics processors. Tangram provides the expert knowledge or skills that are not available in-house.

“Technology has a history but engineers have no past. They have to constantly invent new things.”

The 2016 (1st) edition of ‘Quality Management in Plastics Processing’.

This book shows how to use quality for business success. Quality management has been dealt with in many other books, but these are either about how to achieve ISO 9001 or statistical handbooks. Neither of these types of books are written specifically for plastics processors and many processors were left wondering where to start on the ‘never ending journey’ towards quality management and improvement.

This book uses the same format as previous books to provide accessible information, clear layout and valuable content.

The 2022 (1st) edition of ‘Sustainability Management in Plastics Processing’ has now been published by the British Plastics Federation. This is the book that over 50 years in the plastics industry and all the other books led to.

Previous books dealt with cost, energy, and quality. These were all about building an industry for a sustainable future. This book puts it all into perspective and shows how plastics processors can take action to improve sustainability.

This book uses the same format as previous books to provide accessible information, clear layout and valuable content.

The 2022 (1st) edition of ‘Sustainability Management in Plastics Processing’ has now been published by the British Plastics Federation.

Sustainability will only be improved by completing projects. The ‘textbook’ (Sustainability Management in Plastics Processing) is a resource for understanding sustainability but this ‘projects’ workbook gives the essential details of the projects to be carried out to improve overall sustainability.

Sustainability will only improve as a result of completed projects and this book gives a list of 333 projects that will improve the sustainability of any plastics processing company. The projects cover every element of the product life-cycle and can be implemented by any plastics processor. Processors simply select the projects that they assess as ‘material’ and use the workbook to implement the project.

The 2024 (4th) edition of ‘Energy Management in Plastics Processing’ has now been published by the British Plastics Federation.

As with sustainability, energy management will only be improved by completing projects. The ‘textbook’ (Energy Management in Plastics Processing) is a resource for understanding energy use but this ‘projects’ workbook gives the essential projects to be carried out to reduce energy use.

Energy use will only decrease as a result of completed projects and this book gives a list of 263 projects that will reduce energy use in any plastics processing company. The projects cover every element of the plastics processing and can be implemented by any plastics processor. Processors simply select the projects that they assess as relevant to their operations and use the workbook to implement the project.
