You know the four R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Repair, and Recycle) – now let’s talk about the three E’s: Energy, Economy, and Environment. Recycling saves energy because the manufacturer doesn't have to produce something new from raw natural resources. When energy consumption goes down, production costs go down. Savings are passed on to the consumer, and when recycled products are purchased, a demand for more recycled goods is promoted. This improves the economy. Waste has a huge negative impact on the natural environment, including the land, air, and water. Recycling reduces the need for more landfills, where harmful 541-607-2042 chemicals and greenhouse gasses are released into the air and land.

    ISSN: 2395-3594 IJAET International Journal of Application of Engineering and Technology Vol-2 No.-3 Corrugated Board Structure: A Review M.C. Kaushal1, V.K.Sirohiya2 and R.K.Rathore3 1 2 Assistant Prof. Mechanical Engineering Department, Gwalior Institute of Information Technology,Gwalior, Assistant Prof. Mechanical Engineering 3 Departments, Gwalior Engineering College, Gwalior, M. Tech students Maharanapratap College of Technology, Gwalior, [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Corrugated board is widely used in the packing industry. The main advantages are lightness, recyclability and low cost. This makes the material the best choice to produce containers devoted to the shipping of goods. Furthermore examples of structure design based on corrugated boards can be found in different fields. Structural analysis of paperboard components is a crucial topic in the design of containers. It is required to investigate their strength properties because they have to protect the goods contained from lateral crushing and compression loads due to stacking. However in this paper complete and detailed information are presented. Keywords: - corrugated boards, recyclability, compression loads. Smaller flutes offer printability advantages as well as I. INTRODUCTION structural advantages for retail packaging. Corrugated board is essentially a paper sandwich consisting of corrugated medium layered between inside II. HISTORY and outside linerboard. On the production side, corrugated In 1856 the first known corrugated material was patented is a sub-category of the paperboard industry, which is a for sweatband lining in top hats. During the following four sub-category of the paper industry, which is a sub-category decades other forms of corrugated material were used as of the forest products industry.

  • Label Liners: Meeting the Sustainability Challenge
    Label liners: meeting the sustainability challenge By Mariya Nedelcheva, Product Manager Film & With ever-greater emphasis placed on packaging and waste reduction, Jenny Wassenaar, Compliance & Sustainability brand owners are looking for solutions that secure their sustainability Director, Avery Dennison credentials. Consumers pay particularly close attention to packaging, where there are significant environmental gains to be made. For example, waste from labelling can create useful by-products and circular economies. Waste is not always visible on the final packaging, but its impact on brand reputation is no less real. Consumers’ perceptions of a brand can be enhanced when sustainability is improved. label.averydennison.com Matrix Liner Final White paper waste waste label 16% 35% 37% Start-up waste plus Challenge printed End-user The challenge of recycling waste from the labelling process in error scrap - and ideally creating useful by-products - is complex. Many 10% 1% different elements must be addressed in order to move towards the ultimate goal of zero waste. For example, the word ‘recyclable’ can mean many things, and should not be viewed in isolation. Today there is a chance that recyclable products will still end up in landfill, so what matters is establishing genuinely viable end-to-end recycling solutions. That means considering every component within packaging, including where it comes from, how much material has been used, and what happens at every stage of the package’s journey through the value chain. This paper discusses how the sustainability of labelling laminates can be improved, with a particular focus on the label release liners that are left behind once labels have been dispensed.

  • Improved Oil Resistance of Cellulose Packaging Paper By
    1 Improved Oil Resistance of Cellulose Packaging Paper by 2 Coating with Natural Polymer Derived Materials 3 Feijie Wang1, Liqiang Wang1,*, Xinchang Zhang1, Shufeng Ma2 4 1 Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory of Food Advanced Manufacturing Equipment 5 Technology, School of Mechanical Engineering, Jiangnan University, Wuxi, 214122, 6 China 7 2 School of Food Engineering, Jiangnan University, Wuxi, 214122, China 8 *Email: [email protected] 9 10 Abstract: Paper is widely used as food packaging due to its good mechanical strength 11 and degradability. However, it has a relatively strong affinity for water and oil, which 12 limits its application scope. In this work, we prepare two types of coated paper to 13 investigate, the influence the air permeability and polarity on the oil resistance of the 14 coated paper. The results showed that reducing the air permeability improved the grease 15 resistance of the coated paper. High surface energy coatings also showed better oil 16 resistance because of their higher content of polar components that resulted in a higher 17 resistance to grease. The mechanical properties of the paper also improved after 18 applying the coating. These natural derived materials offer an alternative to the fluoride- 19 containing materials currently used in the market to improve the wettability of paper. 20 Keywords: coated paper · oil resistance · air permeability · polarity 21 Introduction 22 As the variety of foods containing grease is abundant, the types of oil-resistant 23 materials used in food packaging has diversified in recent years. Environmental 24 protection and safety issues continue to be important, and as a result, scholars have paid 25 increasing attention to paper packaging materials (Coltelli et al.

  • The HP Molded Fiber Advanced Tooling Solution White Paper | the HP Molded Fiber Advanced Tooling Solution
    White paper The HP Molded Fiber Advanced Tooling Solution White paper | The HP Molded Fiber Advanced Tooling Solution Macrotrends driving the packaging market The packaging market is transitioning from foam/plastic to molded fiber (also known as molded pulp) packaging for sustainability reasons, with environmental packaging (i.e., replacing foam with paper) favoring the growth of this segment. The molded fiber packaging market is a worldwide industry, valued at $8 billion, and is the fastest-growing segment in the packaging market, with growth being fueled by growing consumer demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging solutions, as well as the increase in take-out food and e-commerce.1 Asia-Pacific countries (APAC) are the biggest geographical market, especially China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The region is experiencing the highest growth and is expected to be the largest market by 2024. This growth can be attributed to the rising importance of disposable packaging,2 as well as the lower cost of tooling production in these areas, which presents a significant price advantage over other regions. The primary segments currently are food and beverage and electronics, which are estimated to have the highest growth. The increasing use of molded pulp products for the packaging of various electronic products (including mobile phones and accessories, computers, printers, modems, trimmers, and projectors, among others) due to its convenience, improved sustainability, and low cost are some of the factors contributing to the growth of this segment.2 Molded fiber manufacturing The thermoformed tooling segment is expected to outgrow other segments, propelled by increased consumer demand for high-quality molded fiber packaging and ongoing innovation driving down thermoforming-packaging manufacturing costs.
