The proposed theoretical framework explores how packaging could be assessed from gate-to-grave including the probability to become litter. A growing number of studies have confirmed omnipresence plastic pollution. Likewise, it has been revealed that marine litter is mainly caused by poor or insufficient waste management. In this line, environmental impact gained much attention due significant i...

The wafer packaging process is necessary in maintaining quality during storage and transportation. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional of wafers produced by silage from various combinations cabbage vegetable waste rice bran which were stored using different types packaging. research method used factorial design (4x2) with 2 replications. first (A) factor was composition (A0: 100% waste...

Expanding the curbside collection system for household plastic packaging could help in accomplishing ambitious recycling targets set by European Union. In this study, effects of such expansion terms quality and quantity sorted waste fractions were investigated. By applying a validated sorting model, flows packages Belgium from their use phase until output plant composition simulated. These data...

Within society, problem awareness related to plastic pollution is high. Nevertheless, production and consumption constantly increasing. Plastic expresses two sides of a coin: consumers appreciate packaging for its practicability other benefits, likewise they also experience concern especially with waste microplastic. In the current work, we systematically investigated valence- (Study 1; sample ...

The purpose of this study was to quantify the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction that could be achieved by replacement of fossil-derived materials with biodegradable, biomass-based materials for household plastic containers and packaging, considering a variety of their treatment options. The biomass-based materials were 100% polylactide or a combination of polybutylene succinat...

70 P&T® • February 2008 • Vol. 33 No. 2 form of Xylocaine packaging. Other reporters had also complained about the similarity of these packages to respiratory therapy products in low-density polyethylene plastic and about the difficulty in reading the label when the ampule was removed from its original packaging. The label, printed in black type, is hard to read in poor lighting or when the opa...
