We want to curb the throwaway mentality through sophisticated small packaging
The first local asparagus and berries are already in circulation, and traders are trying to influence consumers with new, innovative product packaging. Dutch company Solidus Solutions is considered a specialist in paper and cardboard packaging. It also has managed to bring some solutions to the market this year, says Oliver Wendt, Sales Manager DACH.
The packaging specialist has been at home for many years in the field of asparagus and berries. We designed a strawberry crate with a wooden look to stimulate the natural look . In addition to the promotional aspect, the cardboard crate is both multifunctional and suitable for packaging any berry fruit. This means one would only need one package for the entire berry assortment, Wendt explains.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University technology to assist nonverbal children on the autism spectrum is helping families around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced schools and clinics to rely more on remote options.
The award-winning SPEAKall! application functions as a smart device communication board and language learning platform that teaches students to associate words and images.
In the application, students choose digital cards and move them to the speech bar, then the application reads the sequence aloud word by word. Hearing how the words sound can encourages the autistic learner to make an attempt at saying the word with his or her own voice.
