Germany has become a complete system of recycled paper


In Germany, the front of the houses generally have three trash were recovered normal household waste, plastic and designed to recycle paper. In the train station, hotels and other public places have special bins for recycling paper or garbage bags.

Good garbage habit for recycled paper production to provide raw materials. Recycled old paper, pulp and fiber material forms three German paper raw materials. Recycling old paper first starting rotten blisters, then separation of the part is not suitable for the production of paper, and then break out the old paper after printing some color paint. At this point the old pulp itself is a variety of different lengths of fiber mixture, and then you can produce different kinds of paper according to different needs.

German government continued focus on recycled paper also effectively promoting the use of recycled paper. German Federal Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety and the German Association of Local Governments from 2007 onwards, each local government should be carried out to investigate the utilization of recycled paper. The amount of scope and content of the paper surveys the population of more than 100,000 people in the community, recycled paper usage and environmental impact reduction. Survey results for 2010 show that more than half of the local governments of more than 80% utilization of recycled paper.

The prospect of food vacuum packaging machine in packaging machinery


Now vacuum packaging machinery varieties, short innovation cycles, new multi-function can achieve the highest hygiene requirements, so vacuum packaging machine manufacturers only highly innovative in terms of design, in order invincible in the fierce competition in the market. Rather than cater to the appetite of consumers to play crazy vacuum packaging machine price war. Will undoubtedly play a price war at the same time bring harm consumers and manufacturers, as well as the entire industry will suffer. Therefore, the development of vacuum packaging machine industry must take a long-term development.

The food industry is undoubtedly the world a very strong part of the economy, high investment, therefore, the food packaging industry is a very big market. This industry is the biggest buyer of vacuum packaging machinery, occupies nearly 70% share, followed by electronic products, such as IC, chip, circuit boards, the industry will adopt ...... simultaneously harm consumers and manufacturers, as well as the entire industry will suffer. Therefore, the development of vacuum packaging machine industry must take a long-term development.

The food industry is undoubtedly the world a very strong part of the economy, high investment, therefore, the food packaging industry is a very big market. This industry is the biggest buyer of vacuum packaging machinery, occupies nearly 70% share, followed by electronic products, such as 20% IC, chips, circuit boards, the industry accounts for procurement of vacuum packaging machinery purchases.

Global trade vacuum packaging machinery industry for many years, has been increasing, to stop in the first half of 2010 has reached 15 billion euros. Since 2008 the financial crisis curbed demand, last year the volume of trade affected, in 2009 exports of about 2 billion euros, down by a quarter compared to 2008. But this year has been strong demand for improvement.

Plastic food packaging recycling is not difficult


Sometimes, sustainable plastic food bags and environment-friendly packaging materials not relations, but with how we handle the product concerned. For example, the bottled water industry has been a lot of criticism, when people drink water that perfectly clean and sealed, resulting in a lot of unnecessary waste bottle. However, some communities and universities are working hard, through the establishment of refills site, reduce waste of plastic water bottles. People no longer need to buy bottles from the vending machines, you can take the empty bottles, filled with water free. This is a good start, but part of the problem of plastic food bags.

Typically, disposable packaging in retail stores now is the most common. From water bottles to drink to personal care products, cosmetics and cleaning products are disposable packaging, and then it is discarded. We hope that some of the package will be re-used, although we also know that recovery is a challenge for consumers. But repopulate the site if we take this idea and apply it to other liquid products, there will be how kind of consequences?

In the past, beverage companies and other liquid products manufacturers the use of glass packaging, may be re-used in the earliest forms of packaging. The reason is that you have to put your empty milk bottles on the door, the milkman will be recovered tomorrow morning! Glass is very durable, easy to clean, and constantly refilled, and when the time is up, it can be recycled. Repopulate the site without lower prices or lower the quality of liquid products, we can significantly reduce packaging waste, few consumers rarely go to those retail stores to repopulate the site. Bulk purchase is a viable option, it is necessary to limit the package, to provide consumers with greater value.

Barrier plastic food bag recycling is almost non-existent, because consumers need to do is fill a box, and then returned to the box. There are many different types of boxes to choose from, there are some specific waste streams, others do not need to waste classification acceptable. When re-using or filling is not possible, recycling is the best method for processing waste streams.

No ink is also printed, how is this going?

Regardless of printing inks are inseparable, it has become the stereotype of people, without ink printing technology will undoubtedly break this notion, if you really can be achieved, which will become a new printing technology. Information about the industry, there have been no ink printing technology, I recently checking the patent process, also found on "inkless printing equipment," the patent, so it had a strong interest.

"Inkless printing device" patent

July 27, 2011, the European Patent Office issued a number of "GB2477139 (A)" of "inkless printing device" patent, inventors of Great Britain WYRESCHRISTOPHERANTHONY, WALKERMARTINROBERT, JARVISANTHONYN, CRIDLANDJOHN. The patent inkless printing using a dry process, no toner, ink and other imaging material when printing images, but requires the use of specific substrates - the substrate on which to contain photosensitive coloring materials such as diacetylene and the like, When these light-sensitive coloring material is exposed to an appropriate energy source (such as a laser) below, it is easy to change the color. In order to print the desired image, should be allowed to direct exposure to the laser beam selectively to different areas of the substrate, so that the substrate changes from colorless to produce any hue.

As the substrate printing materials include coloring substrate layer and a photosensitive layer. Sensitive coloring layer may be incorporated into the diacetylene materials infrared (IR) spectrum / near-infrared (NIR) spectral absorption material, or material is placed in the diacetylene infrared (IR) spectrum / near-infrared (NIR) spectral absorption material above.

Inkless printer core components

The inkless printer core component of the substrate marking device, which consists of a radiation source and a control system, as shown.


Board mark means working schematic

This device comprises three printheads (i.e., the print head 1, the print head 2 and printhead 3), each print head is a radiation source for emitting radiation of different wavelengths. Wherein the print head 1 and the printing head 3 by an infrared (IR) radiation / near-infrared (NIR) radiation emitter arrays, it may also be composed of a thermal print head contact, providing a first wavelength of radiation. Thermal radiation can have a wide spectrum or restricted within a specific frequency range, heat radiation emitter suitable include, but are not limited to: infrared (IR) / near-infrared (NIR) laser, infrared (IR) / near-infrared (NIR) light-emitting diodes (LEDs), resistive or inductive heating elements. The print head 2 is composed of an ultraviolet (UV) emitter array composed of a second radiation wavelength, a suitable ultraviolet (UV) emitters include, but are not limited to: UV lasers, UV light emitting diodes (LEDs), UV light (e.g. a mercury lamp or deuterium lamp). Each print head has a separate transmitter can be individually addressed and can be individually controlled by a microprocessor via a driver amplifier.

Global flexible packaging demand is expected to reach 2 trillion in 2016


2014, plastic packaging sales in the global food industry, rose 3 per cent to 1.9 trillion, its global sales in 2016 are expected to rise to 2 trillion.

Market research firm Euromonitor International said that in the food industry, stand-up pouches is undoubtedly one of the fastest growing plastic packaging.

Stand-up pouches is still loved by many brands form of packaging. According to Euromonitor International predicts 2014 - 2019 period, stand-up pouches annual sales will increase by 6%.

In 2014, self-released in the bag, the concern include the world's largest breakfast cereal manufacturer Kellogg's businesses in France launched cereals used in packaging, Heinz food company in Germany to launch a ready-meal packaging and Hulk sweet corn packaging.

"From this year's Packaging Research data, the stand-up pouches is one of the success stories," Euromonitor International Packaging Research director Rosemarie

Downey said, "stand-up pouches are sold very well, is a suitable microwaveable packaged solution that can be used for packaging ready meals, rice, pasta, biscuits, sweets, savory snacks and ice cream, yogurt and baby food and other direct consumption of disposable packaging also occupy a certain market share. stand-up pouches very wide range of applications. "

In 2015, China and India accounted for 50 percent growth in food packaging. 2014 Year in Asia-Pacific sales to rise by 5 percent, or 320 billion package.

"China and India are the driving force of the global food packaging industry," Downey adds, "the level of urbanization and increasing disposable income, coupled with the buying habits of the bulk foods to packaged foods, so that those countries, the more demand for plastic packaging be greater. "

How much do you know about the coffee valve for coffee packaging?



Blog by Yuki

Coffee has unlimited charm to attract people's vision and taste. Why does everyone drink the bitter black coffee and not cheap it? In fact good coffee can mellow, delicate, delicious.

All coffee beans, whether through grinding, the flavor in baking after the start decreasing, so if you want to drink the freshest coffee, be sure to keep coffee beans. Save the beans by air, injuries and humidity and light, so save the beans can be a daunting task.

Coffee beans after roasting, are packed in plastic or paper bags.Fresh roasted coffee emits large amounts of CO2,this gas must be gradually released, to prevent package over-inflation and to preserve aroma, moreover beans must be protected from oxygen coming from outside. The one-way degassing valve was developed for coffee from oxygen (O2), and gives off carbon dioxide (CO2) gas.

 Coffee more than 300 years, popular in every corner of the world has become one of the three major beverages in the world, global annual consumption has reached more than 800 million tons.In the face of such a huge amount of consumption, coffee bags industry is rapidly developing,Coffee valve will be widely applied to flexible packaging.

 The one-way degassing valves are applied to each package(Kraft Bags、Aluminum foil bag、StandUp Pouches、Flat Pouches、Paper Bags and Gusseted Bags).

Flexible packaging market accounting for 18% of the US into second Bulk


Flexible Packaging Association (FPA) said that as the second largest packaging, flexible packaging solutions accounted for 18% of the $ 145 billion worth of US packaging market. Lightweight flexible packaging include films and laminates, which is conducive to higher capacity transportation products, reduce the production of the raw materials required. For each brand, saving energy costs, reduce material cost is a revolutionary movement.

Flexible production rationality

In the production process, energy use 50% less flexible than rigid bottles, using 60% less plastic than rigid bottles.

In the production, the material needs of less flexible, CO2 produces less during transport, landfill takes up less space. In the production / consumption cycle of the manufacturing side, the flexible packaging is more reasonable, because it produces a negative impact than the corresponding rigid plastic bottles on the environment less. According to the FPA, it said flexible stand-up pouch packaging products Bibi metal cover glass high 35 times, 21 times higher than aluminum cans bottles.

The Sustainable Packaging is a big argument flexible packaging industry, also has yet to fully environmentally responsible development. For all consumers, recycled plastic that is the answer. CompleteRecycling.com noted that the use of recycled plastics consumption than production of new plastic containers or bottles to be at least 80%. But the recovery is only answer to environmentally conscious? It applies to flexible packaging it?

Know thyself, know yourself

In discussing these issues at the beginning, we could not help but look to the bag is not perfect.

Although the demand for bags fields are increasing, bags also increased innovation itself, but when the bag forming factors involved, the lack of adaptation of innovative problem is still very prominent. Regardless of this bag is used to hold gel washing soap, or loaded baked seasoning dried particles, liquids or cooking sauce, it's nearly the same parts.

According Flexible Packaging Association, in 2013, accounted for 58% of flexible packaging in retail and institutional food industry packaging, 12% in non-food retail packaging. Flexible packaging has a number of advantages, such as less waste, lower distribution costs, can be customized and strong.

If we pay more attention to the rigid components contained in bags, flexible packaging industry, what will happen? If the flexible packaging industry to resolve the structural problems, how will?

For now, there is no process in place formal flexible closed loop recycling system, especially for multi-barrier system materials, mosaic polyethylene (PE) layer of aluminum foil laminated body structure. Single package more easily recovered since it does not contain a central layer of aluminum foil. PE recycling process multilayer flexible packaging due to the inclusion of the step of separating each layer than conventional plastic recycling program needed more. You then need to analyze each layer to identify and recycling of plastic film are processed further to produce recycled resin. Due to a large number of flexible packaging for food packaging, food contamination became another obstacle recovered. For most flexible, since food contamination throughout the current recycling system, in fact, the proportion of packaging can be reused just small, small. Non-renewable polymer is fed into the anaerobic chamber to be burned for energy production plant emissions monitoring offer.

Forward-thinking group (such as Flexible Packaging Association) adopted a series of great initiatives, it is very concerned about sustainable packaging. FPA is working with some producers research on environmentally safe packaging. Sustainable plastics alliance, after Plastic Recyclers Association (APPR) and a flexible film recycling Group (FFRG), also strongly promote and carry out the relevant plastic film recycling public education and advocacy.

Flexible Packaging Recycling

President of the European Association of packaging and film (Pafa) BarryTuner once said, the British media distort the truth and "minimal impact on the environment of plastic bags," bags worth. In fact, the various countries and regions of plastic bags these things rhetoric, but also overly exaggerated.

Currently, the full recovery of aluminum components Enval and uses pyrolysis process plastic parts is the best solution currently being processed multilayer packaging waste, however, have not yet fully recovered solutions other plastic materials plastic parts.

By pyrolysis, char residue containing an inorganic material such as plastic formed contains 80% of liquid carbon and gaseous carbon 20% (due to lack of oxygen in the chamber, so it will not produce CO2 gas). The liquid fuel / energy demand, which carbon may be delivered to a different location. Ashes can be used as components of premix concrete and other products produced. The carbon can be used as fuel, companies often enter the mixed waste pyrolysis chamber to generate the best possible non-availability of fuel.

Bring this liquid carbon fuels into a more durable, energy efficient ways of high integrity also need to continue research.

Find more effective waste treatment process (especially in the pyrolysis) of flexible packaging and lower impact on the environment, it is a challenging task, but it is possible. With the innovative flexible packaging industry has made, such as the use of bio-based materials or waste-to-energy pyrolysis process, the cornerstone of the foundation for further development already in place.
