Packaging Material Innovation/Supply in the Post-Pandemic Era


Innovation/Supply in the Post-Pandemic Era (are we there yet?)
Can the supply of/demand for recycled goods and bio-based materials replace geo-based packaging materials (metal, glass, plastics) without creating bio-based supply choke points?
May 18th, 2021
Demand for recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) drink bottles in the U.S. and the European Union already is showing evidence of a coming tightness if not outright shortages in the coming year. New and inventive alternative sources are the aim of numerous collaborative research strategies.
Packers, bottlers, and their packaging partners are teaming up to debut inventive sustainable packaging material compositions and formats. One example of this “new generation design thinking” is a 5-L evian® “(re)new in-home water appliance” currently being piloted as an e-commerce offering in London and Paris. The evian appliance shipped (two to a zippered corrugated box) to 200 English and French consum ....

Polystyrene waste is everywhere


 E-Mail
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy s Ames Laboratory and their partners from Clemson University have discovered a green, low-energy process to break down polystyrene, a type of plastic that is widely used in foam packaging materials, disposable food containers, cutlery, and many other applications.
Polystyrene is part of a much larger global plastic waste problem. Hundreds of millions metric tons of polymers are produced each year, a large majority of which is discarded after use. Due to the chemical stability and durability of industrial polymers, plastic waste does not easily degrade in landfills and is often burned, which produces carbon dioxide and other hazardous gases. In order to stop the growing flood of polymer waste and reduce carbon dioxide emissions, plastics have to be recycled or converted into new value-added products. ....
