  • Guidelines for Implementing Article 11 of the Convention
    Guidelines for implementation of Article 11 of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (Packaging and labelling of tobacco products) Purpose, principles and use of terms Purpose 1. Consistent with other provisions of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control and the intentions of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention, these guidelines are intended to assist Parties in meeting their obligations under Article 11 of the Convention, and to propose measures that Parties can use to increase the effectiveness of their packaging and labelling measures. Article 11 stipulates that each Party shall adopt and implement effective packaging and labelling measures within a period of three years after entry into force of the Convention for that Party. Principles 2. In order to achieve the objectives of the Convention and its protocols and to ensure successful implementation of its provisions, Article 4 of the Convention states that Parties shall be guided, inter alia, by the principle that every person should be informed of the health consequences, addictive nature and mortal threat posed by tobacco consumption and exposure to tobacco smoke. 3. Globally, many people are not fully aware of, misunderstand or underestimate the risks for morbidity and premature mortality due to tobacco use and exposure to tobacco smoke. Well- designed health warnings and messages on tobacco product packages have been shown to be a cost-effective means to increase public awareness of the health effects of tobacco use and to be effective in reducing tobacco consumption. Effective health warnings and messages and other tobacco product packaging and labelling measures are key components of a comprehensive, integrated approach to tobacco control.

  • Flexible Packaging Buyers Guide 2018 - 2019 Flexible Packaging
    FLEXIBLE PACKAGING BUYERS GUIDE 2018 - 2019 FLEXIBLE PACKAGING • Innovative • Creates Shelf Appeal • Widely Extendible Into Diverse • Enables Visibility of Contents Product Categories • Provides Efficient Product to Package • Maintains and Indicates Freshness Ratios • Offers Consumer Conveniences • Uses Less Energy • Provides Reclosure and Dispensing • Creates Fewer Emissions Options • Creates Less Waste in the First • Is Easily Transported and Stored Place® As one of the fastest growing segments of the packaging industry, flexible packaging combines the best qualities of plastic, film, paper and aluminum foil to deliver a broad range of protective properties while employing a minimum of material. Typically taking the shape of a bag, pouch, liner, or overwrap, flexible packaging is defined as any package or any part of a package whose shape can be readily changed. Flexible packages are used for consumer and institutional products and in industrial applications, to protect, market, and distribute a vast array of products. Leading the way in packaging innovation, flexible packaging adds value and marketability to food and non-food products alike. From ensuring food safety and extending shelf life, to providing even heating, barrier protection, ease of use, resealability and superb printability, the industry continues to advance at an unprecedented rate. The life cycle attributes of flexible packaging demonstrate many sustainable advantages. Flexible packaging starts with less waste in the first place, greatly reducing landfill discards. Innovation and technology have enabled flexible packaging manufacturers to use fewer natural resources in the creation of their packaging, and improvements in production processes have reduced water and energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and volatile organic compounds.

  • 9 FILMS, FOILS and LAMINATIONS (COMBINATION MATERIALS) D.A.Dean
    9 FILMS, FOILS AND LAMINATIONS (COMBINATION MATERIALS) D.A.Dean This chapter covers single layer, multi-layer and combination materials found as films, foils, laminations, coextrusions, coatings, etc. Single ply materials Although a proportion of ‘flexibles’ are multi-layer materials, a number of flexible packaging materials are found as single plies. Single ply materials are found in the form of paper, and those plastics which either do not require an additional coating to achieve a heat seal or can be employed as a direct wrap. Examples of these include various grades of polyethylene and plasticised PVC, which have to be high-frequency welded. A few foils may be used uncoated. (Note that most foils are varnished, lacquered or wash coated to improve scuff resistance or to assist print key.) Other single (monolayer) plastics may also be found as wraps which are restrained by a secondary feature (such as a tie or tape) or rely on special properties, e.g. cling films, for their retention around a product. Cling films, skin wraps, etc. involve such materials as thin gauges of plasticised PVC, Surlyn ionomer, modified grades of low-density polyethylene and Saran (PVdC) copolymers. Thus the use of single ply materials should not be ignored, particularly as these are frequently seen as being more environmentally friendly (i.e. multilayer materials are always more difficult to recover or recycle). Of the single ply materials listed above, paper needs special mention since it was one of the earliest wrapping materials and still has significant use worldwide. Polyethylene, as LDPE, LLDPE or a mixture or blend involving combinations of LDPE, MDPE, HDPE, EVA, etc., finds a wide usage in bags, sacks, sachets, overwraps, shrink wraps, stretch wraps, etc.

    GREENWorks Ideas for a Cleaner Environment A publication of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, Concord, NH (603) 271-3710 February 2015 Reduce, Reuse and yes, Recycle those plastic bags properly… First of all, let‟s make it perfectly clear that the solution to plastic bag pollution is to eliminate or reduce the use of this type of packaging whenever possible. But sometimes plastic is unavoidable. It seems like plastic packaging is everywhere. The good news is the process of recycling has made it possible to create something new from most of the waste we generate. Plastic bags are no exception, and not just those single use grocery and retail bags, but also bread and produce bags, sandwich bags, the overwrap on paper products such as toilet paper and paper towels and even plastic cereal box liners. There are a few items, such as “biodegradable” or “compostable” bags, frozen food bags, and crinkly or foil type bags for chips and other goodies, that are not included in this waste stream. Generally, if the plastic film stretches when you pull it with your fingers, it's okay to recycle it at certain designated locations. When cleaned, dried and brought back to participating stores, these items can be combined with recycled wood products and made into plastic lumber used to make decks or reprocessed into pellets or resin used to make new bags, pallets, containers, crates and even pipes. Recycle Responsibly Plastic bags and thin film plastics are troublesome for most recycling facilities. These items are considered „contamination‟ of single stream recycling, not only jamming up sorting machines but also resulting in higher hauling rates for municipalities when there is a large percentage of them in the single stream collection.

Abstract The experimental evaluation of the durability of RC beams externally strengthened with CFRP plates/fabrics is presented. Experimental investigation consisted of testing a total of seventy eight RC beams under various environmental conditions such as 100% humidity, dry-heat, salt-water and alkaline solutions, freeze-thaw and thermal expansion cycles, and repeated load effects. Accelerated aging procedures were used to correlate the strength and stiffness degradation as per ASTM standards. All the test beams were subjected to ultimate load test after appropriate environmental conditioning. A durability based design approach for analysis and design of externally strengthened beams is also presented. This report consists of 6 chapters as given below: Chapter 1- Introduction Chapter 2- Literature Review Chapter 3- Experimental Program Chapter 4- Results and Discussion Chapter 5- Durability based design Chapter 6- Conclusions and Recommendations 17.
