  • 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.

In order to increase the fiber density and compatibilize the kenaf fiber with CDA, the fiber was sized with poly(vinyl alco- hol)(PVA). The sized kenaf fiber was compounded with the plasticized CDA using a twin screw extruder, and the opti- mal processing conditions were determined. The incorporated kenaf fiber improved the mechanical and thermal properties of CDA. In the case of the composites containing 30 wt% kenaf fibers, the tensile strength and modulus increased almost 2 and 3 fold, which were 85.6 MPa and 4831 MPa, respectively. The PVA treated kenaf fiber showed better adhesion to the CDA matrix. Keywords: cellulose diacetate, kenaf fiber, PVA, sizing. Introduction CDA, its processability is improved, whereas its unique mechanical properties and thermal stability are deteriorated. Synthetic polymers are widely used in everyday life and In order to increase the physical strength of CDA, the use of are increasingly being used in more diverse areas due to various reinforcing agents were generally accepted.7-9 Natu- their easy processability, permanent stability, low price, and ral fiber is completely biodegraded in the natural environ- antibacterial properties.

FLEMİNG2 ABSTRACT The packaging sector is one of the massive traditional fields in the printing industry. The rapid developments in technology and environmental regulations have been affecting the expectations from packaging. User demands and the concerns to protect the environment are the two main factors that now demanding change in material properties. The choice used to depend on the physical and chemical requirements of the products, although today’s global mind set on the concepts such as biodegradability, recyclability, reusability, sustainability and carbon footprint reduction are becoming the reason to tailor packaging properties. In general, the choices have been switching from petroleum to bio based materials as well as functional package designs to reduce transportation and storage needs. In this study, today’s packaging trends and the potential developments in the near future are discussed. Key words: packaging, design, material, recycling, sustainability ÖZET Ambalaj sektörü, baskı endüstrisinin çok geniş ve geleneksel bir alanıdır. Bununla birlikte hızlı gelişen teknoloji ve çevreye dair yönetmelikler ambalaj beklentilerini değiştirmektedir. Kullanıcı talepleri ve çevreyi korumaya dair kaygılar, malzeme özelliklerinin değişmesini gerektiren iki önemli faktördür. Malzeme özelliklerinin seçimi, ürünün fiziksel ve kimyasal özelliklerine göre seçilirken; günümüzdeki biyo-çözünürlük, geri dönüşüm, tekrar kullanıla- bilirlik, sürdürülebilirlik ve karbon ayak izini azaltmaya dair küresel bakış açıları ambalajın özelliklerini değiştiren nedenler haline gelmektedir. Genel olarak bu seçimler, petrol bazlı ürünlerden doğal kaynaklara, depolama alanı ve nakliye ihtiyacını azaltan fonksiyonel am- 1 Öğr.

(JCR)’s perception of the current status and highlights for rating concerning the financial results for the fiscal year ended March 2021 (FY2020) and earnings forecasts for FY2021 of Japan’s 7 general chemical manufacturers: ASAHI KASEI CORPORATION, Showa Denko K.K. (with January-December accounting period), SUMITOMO CHEMICAL COMPANY, LIMITED, TOSOH CORPORATION, Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corporation (“Mitsubishi Chemical HD”) and Ube Industries, Ltd. 1. Industry Trend In recent years, business environment of chemical industry has been somewhat severe. Since 2018, trade friction between the U.S. and China has been a negative factor, and in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic broke out. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative impact on social and economic activities around the world. Although uncertainty about the future of economic trend has lessened compared to the time when the pandemic broke out, the containment cannot still be foreseen. With regard to bulk chemicals, average utilization rate of domestic ethylene centers in fiscal 2020 was 93.9% (compared to an average of 94.2% in fiscal 2019), falling below the full utilization level of 95% for the second consecutive year. However, the monthly capacity utilization rate hovered around 90% in the first half of the fiscal year, but began to pick up in the second half, with some months exceeding 95%. In addition to recoveries in consumer activity and demand for downstream products, recent cold wave in the U.S.
