  Combustion is the controlled incineration of waste in a dedicated facility, an increasingly attractive option for waste that cannot be recycled or composted. Landfills, on the other hand, provide an environmentally friendly disposal of all products and waste left over from the formation and combustion processes. But is the incineration and landfill process important for food packaging ? Let's read this briefly! Combustion/Incineration Incineration is the process of burning waste that cannot be recycled; reducing the amount of waste that food packaging creates in the atmosphere. In fact, plastics are made from fossil fuels and have a high enthalpy, which is beneficial for converting waste into energy. There are three forms of incineration plants collectively known as municipal waste incinerators (MWC): mass incinerators, alternative fuel incinerators, and standard incinerators. 1. Mass incinerators: Mass incinerators accept all types of waste, except items that must be tra...

  Single-use plastics seem to be ubiquitous these days as customers and companies strive to reduce our environmental footprint and make competent and sustainable decisions. While much of the discussion has centered on water bottles, plastic straws, and various plates, pet food packaging has increasingly shifted from paper to plastic materials. Is this a surprising - and perhaps regressive - trend that could bite back into pet food packaging, or is it a step forward? Consumer perception of plastic packaging As of this year, the majorities (about eight in 10) of customers are responding at least partially to the impact of single-use plastics and are moving away from single-use plastics, and nearly 2/3 they are concerned about the negative impact of plastic waste has in our oceans. It's no wonder, then, that more than half of pet food consumers prefer plastic-free packaging and products. Despite this preference, flexible plastic packaging continues to outperform paper in commer...

  More than 10 years have passed since the widespread pet food recall shook the company and prompted manufacturers to review their processes and their commitment to improving pet nutrition. This was the original goal of several premium pet food brands, as confused and disgruntled owners sought alternatives to the brands they had previously entrusted with the health and safety of their pets. While we haven't seen a crisis like the 2007 recalls since then, various brands are struggling to win over and maintain consumer trust in a business that will be overly secretive, primarily because, in some cases, there is no legal obligation to don't do it. TRANSPARENCY AND PACKAGING OF PET FOOD AND BEYOND "Transparency" could be a major buzzword in the pet food industry going forward. An increased awareness of the types of chemicals and ingredients they add to their bodies has been a feature of this decade so far, and concerned pet owners are demanding that pet food manufactu...

  Recycling in food packaging The recycling process diverts materials used in food packaging from the waste stream to material recovery. Unlike reuse, where a returned product is used in its original form, use involves reprocessing the material into a new product. A typical reclamation program involves sorting, sorting, and processing, manufacturing, and selling recycled materials and products. To allow economical use, recycled products and materials must have a market. The Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (GPC) encourage the purchase of products made from recycled materials. You buy to refer to products made with the best practices and materials recovered to obtain those products. When naming a product, purchasing offices are required to source the merchandise with the best possible recyclable content. It has selected some 60 products with recycled content under the CPG program and many other products are planned. Almost all the packaging materials used in food packagin...

  What Exactly Are Retort Pouches? Heat-resistant laminated plastic retort pouches are semi-rigid and flexible packaging. Foods such as soups, pasta, rice, sauces, and dishes prepared in sachets are sealed and sterilized in these sachets at a maximum temperature of 121 ° C. This makes it the first choice for ready-to-eat, processed and prepackaged foods. The idea for retort pouches was sponsored by the US Army in 1950 and research continued until 1960. It was eventually invented by the US Army Research and Development Command. Company and Continental Flexible Packaging, and was first introduced in Italy. These companies received the Industrial Achievement Award in Food Technology in 1978 for their invention. These pouches initially stalled because people refused to accept them. However, over the years, manufacturers and companies have recognized that there are many advantages to using retort pouches for packaging. We will discuss some of them later in the article.   The...

  The main tasks of food packaging are to protect the food product from external influences and damage, to contain the food, and to provide customers with information on ingredients and nutrition. Traceability, convenience, and tamper evidence are increasingly important secondary functions. The goal of food packaging is to package food in a cost-effective manner that meets the needs of industry and customers, ensures food safety, and minimizes environmental impact.   Let’s have a look at the factors that explain why food packaging is important?   Protection/conservation Food packaging delays product spoilage, preserves the beneficial effects of the process, prolongs shelf life, and maintains or increases the standard and safety of food. Therefore, the packaging offers protection against two main categories of external influences: biological and physical. Biological protection provides a barrier against microorganisms (pathogens and spoilage agents), insects, rod...
