    Recycling Center 801 Diamond Valley Drive Open: Daily to the public during daylight hours This guide will help you properly prepare your recyclable materials for drop-off at the Town of Windsor Recycle Center. This is a drop-off facility. It does not have a buy-back option and is for use by residents and small businesses. Following this information will help maintain the facility and the recycling program for the benefit of the community. IMPORTANT… • Do not leave your recyclables in plastic bags. Plastic bags are NOT recyclable! • The plastic item must be a BOTTLE or JAR. with a #1 or #2 on the bottom. • 99 percent of these will have a screw-on plastic lid (which isn’t recyclable). • Plastic containers with a #3 - #7 on the bottom are NOT acceptable. • Tubs, buckets, deli plates, microwave/fast food trays, wrappers, Styrofoam, toys, patio furniture, etc. are NOT acceptable. • Plastic bottles larger than 2.5 gallons are NOT acceptable. • Syringes and other medical supplies are NOT acceptable. Cardboard and Brown Paper Bags Corrugated cardboard is easy to recognize. It is made of paper and has an arched layer called “fluting” between smooth sheets called “liners”. The drop-off site has two 40-yard hydraulic compactor units for collecting corrugated cardboard and brown paper bags. The compaction system is self-activated by depositing the prepared materials into a six-inch tall slot. Flatten boxes. Cut or tear large boxes into sections no larger than 4 feet by 4 feet to prevent jamming the machine. No wet, waxed-coated or food-contaminated boxes.

    , China 兽桃 Mask Bag, designed by Shou Tao Tao Mask Bag, designed by Shou DuPont™ Tyvek ® Graphics EMEA Printability Guide Water Resistant Paper-like Light Tear Resistant Recyclable Printable DuPont™ Tyvek ® Graphics EMEA Printability Guide DuPont™ Tyvek® is a popular printing substrate due to its light weight, smooth surface, high dimensional stability, opacity, toughness and durability. Uncoated Tyvek® can be printed using most digital and commercial printing processes. Some digital presses and some aqueous ink jet printers require a special coating. Tyvek® can be printed either sheet or web-fed. Tyvek® can be printed the same way as paper, although some of its physical properties do require special attention. To achieve excellent print quality, both the designer and printer must understand the unique properties and characteristics of Tyvek®. Tyvek® is made of continuous high-density polyethylene filaments. By using heat and pressure, these filaments are bonded into a base material for printing which turns out to be neither paper, cloth nor plastic film, but it integrates the advantages of those three materials. Tyvek® material has a melting point of 135°C and is a water-resistant and non-absorbent material with superior dimensional stability, high strength, and a smooth matt surface. Most traditional printing technologies can be used for Tyvek® printing, as well as some digital printing. The following Tyvek® printing quick reference guidelines have been summarized based on our current knowledge and the relevant contents will be updated

  • 10 Things Packaging Engineers Should Know
    EU MDR 10 Things Packaging Engineers Should Know networkpartners.com THE TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW NUMBER ONE First, some background: The EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) was approved by the European Parliament on April 5, 2017 and, following its formal adoption, was published in the Official Journal of the EU on May 26, 2017. This means that the MDR will be fully enforceable on May 26, 2020. The first step in this process is for Notified Bodies (NBs) to apply for designation under the MDR, meaning NBs must receive approval from the European Commission before they can assess the conformity of products and before those products can be placed on the market. NBs can apply for designation on Nov 26, 2017, and the process could take nine to 12 months. It may be advisable to check with your NBs to understand their timelines and capacity. Not all NBs will apply for designation or be able to comply with the increased requirements. After an NB has been designated they can start conducting conformity assessments and certifying products to the MDR. To sell or continue to sell medical devices in the European Union, a CE mark indicating certification is required. There is no provision for grandfathering CE marks under the previous directives – all products sold in the EU must be CE marked under the Regulation 2017/745. The timeline for MDR implementation is 3 years, starting January 2018 and ending May 2020. There is a grace period for certificates granted under the prior directive which extends to June 2024. Although packaging continues to be considered an accessory to a medical device, packaging and labeling are specifically addressed in the EU MDR and need to be included in your company’s overall compliance timeline.

    ABS Color-Full Filament FILABOT Filabot has created a 3D printing filament made of recycled materials and a mix of leftover colorants. The Filament is 1.75mm or 3mm in diameter and the diameter tolerance is +/-0.05mm, compatible with most 3D printers. The color filament is made from a virgin base resin (ABS) and is mixed with random colorants to produce this color. Once a user prints with the material they can recycle it in Filabot systems. Filabot uses the highest quality recycled plastic, colorants and base ABS, from suppliers in the US. Filabot’s manufacturing practices are very conservative. They do not like to waste and look at many options for the best possible solution when they are produce filament for their machines. A MSDS is not available for this product yet. There are no known carcinogens for the filament. Filabot has a upcycling system in which they collect plastic utensils from their partner’s, Ben and Jerry’s and Citi Market (a co-op foodstore), and turn them into materials. Filabot produces all ABS Filaments in house, in the United States. 802.505.7610 www.filabot.com Tyvek DUPONT Tyvek is made from 100% high-density polyethylene fibers. It is lightweight, flexible, smooth, particulate-free, opaque and resistant to water, rot, chemicals, abrasion and aging. Tyvek is equally strong in wet or dry conditions. It has a high strength-to-weight ratio and neutral pH. Tyvek is made from petroleum-based high density polyethylene (HDPE) strands formed into a sheet, and Titanium Dioxide. A unique flash-spinning process eliminates the use of binders.
