8 Paper and Paperboard Packaging M.J
8 Paper and Paperboard Packaging M.J. Kirwan 8.1 INTRODUCTION A wide range of paper and paperboard is used in packaging today – from lightweight infusible tissues for tea and coffee bags to heavy duty boards used in distribution. Paper and paperboard are found wherever products are produced, distributed, marketed and used, and account for about one-third of the total packaging market. Over 40% of all paper and paperboard consumption in Europe is used for packaging and over 50% of the paper and paperboard used for packaging is used by the food industry. One of the earliest references to the use of paper for packaging food products is a patent taken out by Charles Hildeyerd on 16 February 1665 for ‘The way and art of making blew paper used by sugar-bakers and others’ (Hills, 1988). The use of paper and paperboard for packaging purposes accelerated during the latter part of the nineteenth century to meet the needs of manufacturing industry. The manufacture of paper had progressed from a laborious manual operation, one sheet at a time, to continuous high speed production with wood pulp replacing rags as the main raw material. There were also developments in the techniques for printing and converting these materials into packaging containers. Today, examples of the use of paper and paperboard packaging for food can be found in many places, such as supermarkets, traditional markets and retail stores, mail order, fast food, dispensing machines, pharmacies, and in hospital, catering and leisure situations. Uses can be found in packaging all the main categories of food, such as: r dry food products – cereals, biscuits, bread and baked products, tea, coffee, sugar, ﬂour, dry food mixes, etc r frozen foods, chilled foods and ice cream r liquid foods and beverages – juice drinks, milk and milk derived products r chocolate and sugar confectionery r fast foods r fresh produce – fruit, vegetables, meat and ﬁsh Packaging made from paper and paperboard is found at the point of sale (primary packs), in storage and for distribution (secondary packaging).

The Farmer Feedback Report
THE FARMER FEEDBACK REPORT FOR: GUATEMALA HUEHUETENENGO ASOBAGRI BY: DRIFTAWAY COFFEE October 2017 1 INTRODUCTION TO DRIFTAWAY COFFEE •Driftaway Coffee was founded in 2013 by Anu Menon and Suyog Mody in New York to help people drink amazing coffee at home. • We are a small-batch coffee roaster that offers online coffee subscriptions. •We ship every week on Friday within a few hours of roasting, and our customers are home consumers all over the United States. We only ship whole beans. • Our model is different from other roasters since we do not have a cafe or retail operation, and we sell all of our coffees on the internet. HOW A DRIFTAWAY SUBSCRIPTION WORKS •What makes Driftaway unique is our special approach to "taste matching." Every subscription begins with a sample pack containing four profiles: ⁃ Fruity - Light roasted African coffees, typically with delicate, fruity or floral tones. ⁃ Classic - Medium roasted coffees, usually from South America, with chocolatey & nutty notes. ⁃ Balanced - Light-medium roasted coffees, usually from Central America, that balance chocolate & fruity notes. ⁃ Bold - Dark roasted coffees from around the world, with bold, rich flavors. • Customers rate the profiles in their tasting kit, and their future deliveries are coffees from the profiles they like. •We change the coffees each month, so it's a great way to try new coffees out - while knowing that it's always a coffee that our customers will love! ABOUT THE DRIFTAWAY TEAM •Driftaway Coffee was started by Anu & Suyog, to fulfill our desire to create, do work we were passionate about, as well as our need for and interest in great coffee.

PDF of Activity Descriptions
DE LA GENTE, OR “FROM THE PEOPLE” GENERATING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY GREAT COFFEE DIRECT FROM FARMERS CULTURAL EXCHANGE TOURS CHANGING LIVES ACTIVITY DESCRIPTIONS Choose from the following options to complete your customized itinerary: MARKET SCAVENGER HUNT—Your mission is to brave the Antigua market and find all the food and assorted items we’ll need for dinner tonight. You’ll have a list, and enough cash to buy everything on the list. You may have to be a shrewd negotiator to get everything under budget, but that’s part of the market experiences. In addition to the dinner items, you can gain points by completing the rest of the tasks on the list! A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A COFFEE FARMER—Rising with the sun just like any farmer in cooperative, you’ll start your day with a beautiful hike in the folds of Volcan Agua. The morning will be spent picking coffee side-by-side with farmers from the community, while learning about the agricultural aspects of growing coffee. Then you’ll go back to the farmer’s home for a well-deserved lunch! The rest of the day you will learn about the production of coffee from bean to cup- even processing and enjoying some of your own! CONSTRUCTION—Projects will vary from trip to trip, though you can bet there will be some concrete mixing and brick laying. Community members will request different projects for home improvements; this could be anything from building a drying patio for coffee, roof repair, or replacing corn stalk walls with cinder blocks.
