An organization called the Toxics in Packaging Clearinghouse has been known since the 1990s as the source of an infuential Eric Greenberg, Attorney-at-Law, Packaging World Contributing Editor model sate law that put limits on four heavy metals in packaging (lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium). Though only adopted in 19 U.S. sates, the model law’s prohibition on intentional addition, and a total limit of 100 ppm of the four heavy metals, have become a worldwide fxture in product sewardship and guarantee documentation for packaging. Now the TPCH has updated its model legislation, mos notably by adding “the class of perfuoroalkyl and polyfuoroalkyl subsances (PFAS) and ortho-phthalates as regulated chemicals.” (For more on the changes, go to pwgo.to/6052 and pwgo.to/6053). Under the newly changed law, a package or packaging component would be prohibited if “PFAS has been intentionally introduced during manufacturing or disribution in any amount,” and “There shall be no detectable PFAS in any package or packaging component.” How exactly that sandard can be met is unclear (see below re baby food). https://www.packworld.com/design/protective-transport-packaging/article/21343056/a-chain-of-changes-crucial-information-for-packagers[4/1/2021 8:46:23 AM] A Chain of Changes: Crucial Information for Packagers | Packaging World The new model law also would prohibit sale or disribution of a package or of packaging components containing intentionally added phthalates, and the incidental levels of them couldn’t exceed 100 ppm by weight.

  • The Effect of the Unboxing Experience on Positive Affect and Willingness to Share
    Thinking inside the box: the effect of the unboxing experience on positive affect and willingness to share. Master’s thesis by Ceciel Berden Thinking inside the box: the effect of the unboxing experience on positive affect and willingness to share. Master thesis Ceciel Berden S2186373 April 22, 2020 University of Twente Faculty of Behavioural, Management and Social Sciences Master Communication Science Marketing, Communication and Design First supervisor: dr. T. J. L. van Rompay Second supervisor: R. S. Jacobs PhD Acknowledgements Before continuing with reading this Master’s thesis, I would like to take a moment to thank the people who helped me. First of all, I would like to thank my supervisors Thomas van Rompay and Ruud Jacobs for their guidance and critical feedback. Both helped me with their own expertise to make the best of my thesis. Furthermore, I would like to thank Jeroen Mulder. His knowledge of statistics was clarifying and I could come by with any question I had. Besides the aforementioned, I want to thank my friends Chris Boshuizen and Lina Heming for their emotional support and the many laughs during our time studying together. I am happy that we got to know each other during our pre-master and that we became friends for life. Lastly, my thanks go out to my parents for making this all possible and always believing in me. 3 Abstract Purpose – More beauty brands create unboxing experiences for their consumers. It would, for example, be able to elicit emotions of surprise and contribute to consumers’ willingness to share. However, scientific research on the emerging phenomenon of unboxing experiences is still lacking.
