  • Guidelines for Implementing Article 11 of the Convention
    Guidelines for implementation of Article 11 of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (Packaging and labelling of tobacco products) Purpose, principles and use of terms Purpose 1. Consistent with other provisions of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control and the intentions of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention, these guidelines are intended to assist Parties in meeting their obligations under Article 11 of the Convention, and to propose measures that Parties can use to increase the effectiveness of their packaging and labelling measures. Article 11 stipulates that each Party shall adopt and implement effective packaging and labelling measures within a period of three years after entry into force of the Convention for that Party. Principles 2. In order to achieve the objectives of the Convention and its protocols and to ensure successful implementation of its provisions, Article 4 of the Convention states that Parties shall be guided, inter alia, by the principle that every person should be informed of the health consequences, addictive nature and mortal threat posed by tobacco consumption and exposure to tobacco smoke. 3. Globally, many people are not fully aware of, misunderstand or underestimate the risks for morbidity and premature mortality due to tobacco use and exposure to tobacco smoke. Well- designed health warnings and messages on tobacco product packages have been shown to be a cost-effective means to increase public awareness of the health effects of tobacco use and to be effective in reducing tobacco consumption. Effective health warnings and messages and other tobacco product packaging and labelling measures are key components of a comprehensive, integrated approach to tobacco control.

  • FDA Compliance and Printing Inks Often Printers Have Questions
    FDA Compliance and Printing Inks Often Printers have questions concerning the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and compliance of the inks used to print on food packaging applications. The FDA permits the use of inks (e.g. solvent base, water base and UV) as components of food packaging under certain conditions. Several items must be understood before one can determine if a printing ink is suitable for use on food packaging applications: “Direct Food Additives” are substances directly and intentionally added to foods, including, but not limited to, ingredients, preservatives, colors and stabilizers. “Indirect Food Additives” generally refer to substances that are not intended to, but can become, components of food as a result of use in articles that contact food (e.g. ink on food packaging applications). Both “Direct and Indirect Food Additives” require complex petitions and filings with the FDA that can be very costly, burdensome and time consuming. Nazdar inks are not designed to be and are not approved as Direct or Indirect Food Additives. However, if an ink on food packaging applications is not expected to become a component of the food under its intended conditions of use, it is not a food additive by definition and, therefore, may be used without the need to obtain any FDA clearance. A properly conducted migration study is considered to be a sound basis for concluding that the substance is not a food additive. This study should be performed in accordance with FDA’s guidance document, entitled; Preparation of Food Contact Notifications and Food Additive Petitions for Food Contact Substances: Chemistry Recommendations https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/guidance-industry- preparation-premarket-submissions-food-contact-substances-chemistry Another method of concluding that a substance is not a food additive is the use of a functional barrier.

  • Extrusion Foaming of Bioplastics for Lightweight Structure in Food Packaging
    EXTRUSION FOAMING OF BIOPLASTICS FOR LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURE IN FOOD PACKAGING A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sitthi Duangphet School of Engineering and Design Brunel University December 2012 i Abstract This thesis reports the systematic approaches to overcome the key drawbacks of the pure PHBV, namely low crystallisation rate, tensile strength, ductility, melt viscosity, thermal stability and high materials cost. The physical, mechanical, thermal, and rheological properties of the pure PHBV were studied systematically first to lay a solid foundation for formulation development. The influence of blending with other biopolymers, inclusion of filler, and chain extender additives in terms of mechanical properties, rheology, thermal decomposition and crystallization kinetics were then followed. Creating lightweight structures by foaming is considered to be one of the effective ways to reduce material consumption, hence the reduction of density and morphology of PHBV-based foams using extrusion foaming technique were studied comprehensively in terms of extrusion conditions (temperature profiles, screw speed and material feeding rate) and the blowing agent content. The material cost reduction was achieved by adding low-cost filler (e.g. CaCO3) and reduction of density by foaming. The thermal instability was enhanced by incorporation of chain extender (e.g. Joncryl) and blending with a high thermal stability biopolymer (e.g. PBAT). The polymer blend also improved the ductility. Adding nucleation agent enhanced the crystallization rate to reduce stickiness of extruded sheet. The final formulation (PHBV/PBAT/CaCO3 composite) was successfully extruded into high quality sheet and thermoformed to produce prototype trays in an industrial scale trial. The effect of the extrusion conditions (temperature profiles, screw speed and material feeding rate) and the blowing agent content are correlated to the density reduction of the foams.
