Fighting mold in homes, as well as commercial and government buildings, is serious business. Now there’s a new tool for the fight: Moldgard™, a 15- to 17-micron cast nylon film that includes a proprietary antimicrobial material.

The film earned DuPont Silver.

The film is supplied by Alcan Packaging, then oriented by Honeywell Specialty Films to impart stiffness and thermal properties. The film is sent to the JP Lamborn Company for adhesive-lamination to ductwork materials that are made into 25’-long sections and sold to building contractors for installation.

Through the Line Podcast: Humanoid Robots in Packaging

This episode is a conversation between Associate Editor Casey Flanagan and Melonee Wise, former chief product officer at Agility Robotics. Wise participated in this report while in her former role but left the company in late summer 2025. They discuss the company's Digit Humanoid Robot and new features for connecting with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), improved safety for human collaboration, and its potential to add flexibility to packaging operations.

Humanoid robots like Apptronik's Apollo are capable of completing repetitive tasks on the CPG plant floor, like repetitive lifting or material replenishment.
