Plastics are light and convenient handling, achieving widespread customer acceptance. In general, plastic packing growths fast and posts significant threats of substitution to cans

Shipping some parts and pieces in very expensively made plastic reusable containers. While being conscious and in favor of recycling at the start, the parts that many of these containers hold are considerably smaller than the containers themselves, thus adding to the size and weight with shipping cost. Others are reusable steel containers, when large heavy cardboard or wooden boxes would suffice as an alternate packaging source. Some items sent in reusable wooden boxes that a heavy cardboard box would have sufficed. Just one example that has been observed in a military unit, using a $1200 plastic shipping container for a $100 circuit card with 7 layers of wrapping plus a foam insert. Of all the materials used, one needs the anti-static wrapping and the foam layer, other than that; a heavy cardboard box would be more than

Most of the packaging in the past are not sustainable. Packaging takes an important role in achieving sustainability. Company nowadays should design sustainable packaging to fulfill the CSR. Sustainability packaging is using the materials which can be recycled. It should be beneficial and safe for humans and environment. The packaging goals of P&G are reducing packaging by 20% per consumer use, doubling our use of recycled resin in plastic packaging and ensuring 90% of our packaging is recyclable and develop the ability to recycle. Pampers brand of P&G substitutes the corrugate with recycled plastic bags which are easier to carry. The recycle plastic bags reduce 80% packaging material than before. This recycle plastic bags fulfill the first goal of packaging of P&G. Second goal which is use more of recycled resin is began in China. The packaging of the oral care is using the post-consumer resin to achieve sustainability and also providing benefit for the company in saving cost. The first category of P&G which reached their third goals is Family Care business. Family Care Business have 100% of recyclable

A container only costs a maximum of $2,000 making them extremely cost effective allowing for a larger budget towards interior and exterior

Chatime has some issues about the problem of poor quality of product packaging. The plastic cups and containers is a low grade quality packaging that is not environmental friendly as it is not biodegradable. It causes health risk where the plastics may release harmful chemical and it is unsuitable for carrying if it is hot

"Plastic" entered the world through chemistry in 1909 and was originally coined to describe Bakelite, the first fully synthetic resin. What make's plastic so unique is when it is heated it can be molded but it retained its shape when cooled (Reddy, 2010). The modern plastic bag was not possible until the accidental discovery of the first industrially practical method of polyethylene synthesis in 1933. Fast forward to today, the use and

The proliferation of packaging products and poor product education has caused confusion among end users. US consumers have traditionally viewed packaging supplies as a cost-saving resource. Consequently, packaging engineers are accorded high status and influence roughly 40% of material purchase decisions. The US market is experiencing strong growth, driven in part by the growth of the coated and uncoated bubbles segment. However, AirCap's market share remains stagnant (Appendix A).

In fact, the buying frenzy of modern life has become so prevalent, and people have collected so much material, that self storage facilities are becoming one of the most successful and

Sturdy, convenient to transport and relatively cheap – these are some of the factors that have made the conversion of shipping containers into modern living and working spaces an ever growing trend in some other countries. However, little is only known about this innovation in Cebu. The proponents of this research study the supply and demand of these shipping containers. As end users create demand for the containers from the contractors as a finished infrastructures, these contractors are also creating a demand of raw shipping containers from the shipping companies. And yet there are more of these containers than what the people demanded, making a huge gap between the abundant supply of shipping container and the demand for them. The researchers

Changes witnessed over the last few years on mode of packaging and its economic impact.

Investigations into developing a more sustainable and eco-friendly aspect of every day life are becoming a major priority. Without such investigations or developments in not only the food packaging sectors, but in many other major industries, this planet along with its inhabitants will surely succumb to the human lust of consumerism and ultimately the waste that such hunger produces. The implantation of ecofriendly “green” packaging options would see a sharp decline in the amount of waste that is produced each year and give the ability to recycle and to produce new items from previously used packaging. In this report the team discuss the concept of biodegradable plastics and their future implementation as “green” food packaging alternatives to the current form of non eco-friendly plastics that are in existing use. Biodegradability refers to a composites ability to be degraded by bacteria or other living organisms, plastics such as these can also be susceptible to water and ultraviolet rays as sources of decomposition with this aspect being discussed within the chapters of this report. As apart of this report, team members assess the discovery, life cycle as well as the current or future applications of three different types of bio-plastic. Contained within is discussion on Poly-Lactic Acid, Novamont’s thermoplastic starch-based polymer and …
