Overpackaging
Overpackaging is defined by the ''Institute of Packaging Professionals'' as "a condition where the methods and materials used to package an item exceed the requirements for adequate containment, protection, transport, and sale". It aligns with the hierarchy principle of reduce, rescue, recycle, prioritizing the elimination of unnecessary package. Reducing overpackaging is a key strategy in source reduction, which aims to minimize waste before it is generated. It aligns with the waste hierarchy principle of reduce, reuse, recycle, where eliminating unnecessary packaging takes precedence over recycling or disposal. In some cases, the degree of excessive packaging is quite obvious; while in others, whether it is excessive packaging or not may be subject to dispute depending on the assessment criteria.

Shrink Film
Shrink wrap, also shrink film, is a material made up of polymer plastic film. When heat is applied, it shrinks tightly over whatever it is covering. Heat can be applied with a handheld heat gun (electric or gas), or the product and film can pass through a heat tunnel on a conveyor. Composition The most commonly used shrink wrap is polyolefin. It is available in a variety of thicknesses, clarities, strengths and shrink ratios. The two primary films can be either crosslinked, or non crosslinked. Other shrink films include PVC, Polyethylene, Polypropylene, and several other compositions. Coextrusions and laminations are available for specific mechanical and barrier properties for shrink wrapping food. For example, five layers might be configuration as EP/ EVA/ copolyester/EVA/EP, where EP is ethylene-propylene and EVA is ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. PVC is the most used shrink wrap, due to its light weight, and inexpensive capabilities. PVC is durable, and can be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Breakfast
Breakfast is the first meal of the day usually eaten in the morning. The word in English refers to breaking the fasting period of the previous night. Various "typical" or "traditional" breakfast menus exist, with food choices varying by regions and traditions worldwide. History In Old English, a regular morning meal was called , and the word ''dinner'', which originated from Gallo-Romance ''desjunare'' ("to break one's fast"), referred to a meal after fasting. Around the mid-13th century, that meaning of ''dinner'' faded away, and around the 15th century "breakfast" came into use in written English to describe a morning meal.

Paperboard
Paperboard is a thick paper-based material. While there is no rigid differentiation between paper and paperboard, paperboard is generally thicker (usually over 0.30 mm, 0.012 in, or 12 Inch#Equivalents, points) than paper and has certain superior attributes such as foldability and rigidity. According to International Organization for Standardization, ISO standards, paperboard is a paper with a grammage above 250 g/m2, but there are exceptions. Paperboard can be single- or multi-ply. Paperboard can be easily cut and formed, is lightweight, and because it is strong, is used in packaging. Another end-use is high quality graphic printing, such as book and magazine covers or postcards. Paperboard is also used in fine arts for creating sculptures. Sometimes it is referred to as ''cardboard'', which is a generic, lay term used to refer to any heavy pulp (paper), paper pulp–based board, however this usage is deprecated in the paper, printing, and packaging industries as it does not ade ...

Folding Carton
The folding carton created the packaging industry as it is known today, beginning in the late 19th century. The process involves folding carton made of paperboard that is printed, laminated, cut, then folded and glued. The cartons are shipped flat to a packager, which has its own machinery to fold the carton into its final shape as a container for a product. Some styles of folding cartons can be made of E-flute or micro-flute corrugated fiberboard. The folding carton industry does not figure importantly in world trade, although the United States exports considerable quantities of canned foods and other products in folding cartons. The volume of folding carton exports shipped flat is relatively low, amounting to less than 0.5 percent of U.S. production. Invention and development In the 1840s, cartons were made by hand and held together with tacks and string, and used only for expensive items (such as jewellery). Although Charles Henry Foyle is described by some as the "inve ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
