    9/2/2015 Why Biodegradable Plastic PHA Matters to Families ... but Shouldn’t Thirty-Something Reasons Why PHA Biodegradable Plastic Matters to Families The Argument for Replacing Plastic with MHG’s NodaxTM PHA By Laura Mauney Do busy families care what plastic is made of any more than busy commuters care what kind of fuel goes into the vehicles that get people to work or school on time? Probably not. Most families probably care more about running smoothly from hour to hour, day to day, week to month to year. The question becomes, then, why should families care at all about the chemical composition of plastic? Image courtesy of Ekaterina_Minaeva / Shutterstock.com Take a quick look around the house. Look for plastic things. How many can you list?

  • Why Can't These Be Recycled in My Curbside Program?
    Why can’t these be recycled in my curbside program? Gift wrap - This type of paper is not recyclable because it is often printed with too much colored ink, foil, glitter, flocking or other non-recyclable items. These materials are contaminants and need to be removed in the paper pulping process.

  • Increase Production Efficiency and Eliminate Errors with Advanced Egg Carton Coding Solutions
    Whitepaper Series Increase Production Efficiency and Eliminate Errors with Advanced Egg Carton Coding Solutions ©2012 Videojet Technologies Inc. Page 1 Whitepaper Series INCREASE PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY AND ELIMINATE ERRORS WIH ADVANCED EGG CARTON CODING SOLUTIONS Egg carton coding is the most common way that eggs are tracked for traceability. It’s also the most common way consumers determine the quality of the eggs they are about to buy, and most importantly, it is how they determine the quality of their eggs once they have them at home. However, the sell by or best by information on the egg carton is often poorly printed, even on higher-priced specialty eggs. Since this information is the key traceability link, it is vital that this is printed clearly. Newer Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) and Laser marking technology not only offers better print quality, but is also easier to setup and changeover, and requires less maintenance than current printing solutions. Why code on egg cartons? Carton level identification is mandated in the United States by the USDA (7 CFR 56), in Canada by the CFIA (C.R.C. 284), in Europe by EC Regulation 557/2007 and comparable organizations in other countries. It provides traceability information that links the eggs within the carton back to the farm and date of packing. With this information, government authorities can alert the public and manage a recall of questionable eggs. This identification is currently the first location the consumer finds the date and lot coding information for eggs If reliably getting the right traceability code on the right carton isn’t hard enough, the increasing variety of egg carton styles, sizes and materials adds to the challenge.

  • The Upgrade for Your Egg Marking and Coding
    Marking and coding eggsEP The UPgrade for your egg marking and coding Integration partners 100% protection SEALTRONIC trouble-free startup, every time Industrial Inkjet Printer Marking and coding eggsEP JET3up EP – the integrated solution for marking and coding eggs and egg cartons The JET3up EP is a special industrial printer for marking and coding eggs and egg packages. It is compatible with egg sorting and packaging machines from the leading manufacturer (Moba Group). The cooperation between LEIBINGER and the Moba Group makes it possible to conveniently integrate the continuous inkjet printer into their egg sorting machines. That simplifies the process of marking and coding eggs and egg cartons many times over. The benefit to you from the JET3up EP complete integration 1. Automatic print data transfer from the egg sorting machine to the printer 2. Accurate imprinting of eggs using egg-specific data 3. Positionally accurate printing on the egg shell/carton 4. Central management/modification of the print data 5. Variable data updated automatically (such as “best by” dates) 6. Convenient changing of the marking and coding imprint Continuous inkjet printers (CIJ) in the egg industry LEIBINGER CIJ printers label every possible product, material and surface without making contact, using fixed and variable data while production is in progress. Why use CIJ technology to mark and code egg shells and egg cartons? The continuous inkjet printer printhead can be flexibly installed in all directions and thereby enables full flexibility for positioning the mark/code. Thanks to the non-contact printing, different sized eggs can be marked/coded without readjusting the printhead.

  • Egg Submission and Testing Guidelines
    Egg Submission and Testing Guidelines . Fire Contaminant Testing Due to increase in urban wildfire, there is concern about backyard chickens ingesting contaminants from the ground and transmitting these to their eggs. Various heavy metals (including lead) are found in old paint (before 1978), old plumbing (before 1986), electronics, batteries (including old lead-acid car batteries) and many other things found around the home. Thus we recommend testing eggs for heavy metals (especially lead) so that you can make an informed decision about the safety of your eggs. For guidance, the FDA recommends that children do not consume more than three micrograms of lead per day. Instructions for submitting eggs Packaging eggs: 1. Ship 2-6 eggs (6 eggs max) from your flock. 2. Wrap eggs in tissue to individually cushion eggs, then place eggs inside an egg carton. 3. Wrap the carton with bubble wrap and/or ship in a box with crumpled paper, shredded paper, or packing peanuts. 4. Include this form <see requested egg study info.docx or request egg study info – spanish.docx> or a sheet with the information requested in the section below 5. Seal box securely with tape Click here for free shipping supplies. Please include the following information with your shipment: ● Address where hens reside (Street name, City, Zip -- we do not need the number of the address) ● County where the hens reside ● Number of hens in flock ● Date eggs were collected ● Length of time you have owned the chickens ● Age of chickens ● Year the coop the chickens live in was built ● Year your house was built (Note: our goal with this information is to determine if the chickens may have any contamination from lead paint used before 1978) Ship eggs to: <Insert the lab address here> If you live in or near <insert your county/region here>, you may also choose to drop your eggs off in person directly to <insert local contact info if you want this option> If you would like assistance with shipping costs, please contact <insert contact info if your budget includes support for shipping samples>.
