Käesoleva töö uurimisprobleem seisnebki selles, et veel ei ole uuritud ökopakendi rolli lehtsalati tajutud kvaliteedi kujunemisel. Töö eesmärk on seega välja selgitada, milline on ökopakendi roll toote tajutud kvaliteedi kujunemisel lehtsalati näitel. Selleks viib töö autor läbi uurimuse, milleks ta kasutab elektroonilist küsimustikku ning levitab seda vastajatele lumepallimeetodil läbi erinevate elektrooniliste kanalite. Küsimustik on eestikeelne ning koosneb 35 küsimusest, mis baseeruvad töö esimeses osas esitatud teooriatel ning varasematel samateemalistel uurimustel. Tajutud kvaliteedi hindamiseks kasutab töö autor kolme erineva pakendiga (tavaplastist, bioplastist ja turbast istikupotiga) lehtsalati fotot. Vastajaid on kokku 212, kellest 42 on mehed ning 170 naised ning nende keskmine vanus on 33 aastat (mood ja mediaan 31). Tulemuste analüüsiks kasutatakse erinevaid kvantitatiivse andmeanalüüsi meetodeid (korrelatsioonanalüüs, regressioonanalüüs, ANOVA, t-test). Uurimuse tulemused näitavad, et ökopakendis esitatud lehtsalatit hinnatakse kõrgemakvaliteediliseks kui tavapakendis esitatud lehtsalatit, mistõttu võib järeldada, et ökopakend mängib lehtsalati tajutud kvaliteedi kujunemisel kvaliteeti tõstvat rolli. Kõige kõrgemalt hindavad vastajad turbast istikupotis esitatud lehtsalati kvaliteeti, teisena bioplastikust potis lehtsalati kvaliteeti ning kõige madalamalt tavaplastist potis esitatud lehtsalati kvaliteeti. Uurimusest selgub veel, et kui vastajad peavad tavaplastist pakendit üldiselt mittekeskkonnasõbralikuks ning turbast pigem keskkonnasõbralikuks, siis bioplastist pakendi osas on vastuste varieeruvus suurem ning keskmine hinnang selle keskkonnasõbralikkuse kohta jääb 7- palli skaalal alla keskmise. Võtmesõnad: ökopakend, keskkonnasõbralik pakend, tajutud kvaliteet, lehtsalat 4 SISSEJUHATUS Käesolevas töös uuritakse ökopakendi mõju istikupotis esitatud lehtsalati tajutud kvaliteedile. Teema on aktuaalne, kuna nii toode ise (lehtsalat) kui selle pakend (plastikust istikupott) on mõlemad väga tihedalt seotud kaasaegsest elustiilist tulenevate tervise- ning keskkonnaprobleemidega, mis leiavad järjest rohkem kajastust ka massimeedias ning riiklikes kui ka vabatahtlike organisatsioonide poolt korraldatud kampaaniates. Ehk ühest küljest on inimeste ebatervislike toitumisharjumuste

    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.

  • Plain Packaging of Cigarettes and Smoking Behavior
    Maynard et al. Trials 2014, 15:252 http://www.trialsjournal.com/content/15/1/252 TRIALS STUDY PROTOCOL Open Access Plain packaging of cigarettes and smoking behavior: study protocol for a randomized controlled study Olivia M Maynard1,2,3*, Ute Leonards3, Angela S Attwood1,2,3, Linda Bauld2,4, Lee Hogarth5 and Marcus R Munafò1,2,3 Abstract Background: Previous research on the effects of plain packaging has largely relied on self-report measures. Here we describe the protocol of a randomized controlled trial investigating the effect of the plain packaging of cigarettes on smoking behavior in a real-world setting. Methods/Design: In a parallel group randomization design, 128 daily cigarette smokers (50% male, 50% female) will attend an initial screening session and be assigned plain or branded packs of cigarettes to smoke for a full day. Plain packs will be those currently used in Australia where plain packaging has been introduced, while branded packs will be those currently used in the United Kingdom. Our primary study outcomes will be smoking behavior (self-reported number of cigarettes smoked and volume of smoke inhaled per cigarette as measured using a smoking topography device). Secondary outcomes measured pre- and post-intervention will be smoking urges, motivation to quit smoking, and perceived taste of the cigarettes. Secondary outcomes measured post-intervention only will be experience of smoking from the cigarette pack, overall experience of smoking, attributes of the cigarette pack, perceptions of the on-packet health warnings, behavior changes, views on plain packaging, and the rewarding value of smoking. Sex differences will be explored for all analyses.

  • Advancing Tobacco Plain and Standardized Packaging in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Advice from Experts
    Advancing Tobacco Plain and Standardized Packaging in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Advice from Experts www.globaltobaccocontrol.org Introduction Tobacco packs can be colorful, attractive, and come in exciting shapes and sizes. Plain and standardized packaging removes the potential for companies to use these attractive elements by only allowing the tobacco pack to be presented in one color, shape, and size that is designed to be minimally attractive. This policy stipulates that packs may contain no brand imagery, and also that the brand name be written in a specific font, color, and size. Australia was the first country to introduce plain and standardized packaging for cigarettes in 2011, with the law taking effect in 2012. As of January 2020, France, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Norway, Ireland, and Saudi Arabia have fully implemented plain and standardized packaging laws at the retail level. Thailand, Uruguay, Slovenia, Turkey, Israel, Canada, Singapore, Belgium, and Hungary have all passed or adopted plain and standardized packaging laws and are awaiting full implementation. Many additional countries are either debating or considering similar policies. We were interested in identifying specific studies or bodies of evidence that were viewed as crucial in the successful passage and implementation of tobacco plain packaging policy. Our goal is to inform low- and middle- income countries (LMIC) looking to pursue plain and standardized packaging with recommendations on critical research components, including study designs, study populations, and relevant research questions. Cigarette packs from New Zealand Advancing Tobacco Plain and Standardized Packaging in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Advice from Experts 1 Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews with 23 participants who played significant roles, as policymakers, tobacco control advocates, or researchers, in the passage of tobacco product plain and standardized packaging policies in their countries (Australia, New Zealand, UK, France, Ireland, Norway, Canada, Thailand, and Uruguay).

As such, 'freddo freddo' was the distinctive element of the mark. - milk products (29) The GC endorsed the BoA's assessment - preparations made from that both marks had a low degree of cereals, bread, pastry, and visual similarity and an average level of confectionary, ices; sauces phonetic similarity.
