In order to study the characteristics of a new kind of high-barrier and high-temperature sterilization and easy tear flexible plastic packaging materials applied in food packaging, the PET/AL/CPP was chosen as flexible plastic packaging material structure, different PET, CPP, alcohol inks, adhesives and other raw materials were selected for making a series of processing technology experiment and detection analysis. Then comparing the data obtained with the requirements, it was concluded that new flexible plastic packaging materials were extremely high resistance oxygen and resistance wet, high-temperature sterilization and good one-way easy tear, and etc.

The article presents comparative analyses of selected plastic packaging (PE-HD, PET) taking into account the technical, promotional and ecological aspects. The technical aspect of the package has been examined by marking the properties of the packaging material during static stretching and by determining the material's resistance to high temperature in the shrink test. The determination of the aspect of the promotional and ecological value of the packaging was made by developing special evaluation cards. Finally, a comparative analysis of selected packages was carried out based on a comprehensive quality assessment, constituting the sum of partial grades together with the relevant coefficients

This study combines the use of corn starch and Tetradesmus obliquus microalgae for the production of antioxidant starch films as flexible packaging material. Starch was plasticized with glycerol and blended with 1 w% polyallylamine chosen as an agent to modify the film physical properties. The addition of polyallylamine improved film water stability and water vapor transmission rate as well as mechanical stiffness and tenacity. The dried Tetradesmus obliquus microalgae, which showed an EC50 value of 2.8 mg/mg DPPH (2.2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical), was then used as antioxidant filler. The addition of microalgae provided the films with good antioxidant activity, which increased with microalgae content increasing. To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting the development of sustainable bioactive packaging films composed of almost 100% starch, and follows the European union’s goals on plastics strategy concerning the promotion of bio-based, compostable plastics and the setting up of approaches to prevent food waste with a simple plastic packaging.

Abstract Packaging-based short circuits are inherently difficult to analyze due to the unprotected nature of the shorting material in the package. A combination of SQUID, low-power x-ray and OBIRCH techniques were used in conjunction with parallel grinding to identify the location of the short and reveal it for subsequent characterization. This procedure can reliably identify metal-based shorts in most plastic packaging material.

In order to reduce the white pollution caused by nondegradable waste plastic packaging materials, the biomass cushion packaging material with straw fiber and starch as the main raw materials had been synthesized. The orthogonal experiment was used to study the impact of mass ratio of fiber to starch, content of plasticizer, active agent, and foaming agent on the compressive strength of cushion material. Infrared spectrometer and theory of water’s bridge-connection were used to study the hydroxyl groups among the fiber and starch. The results were demonstrated as follows: the mass ratio of fiber to starch had the most significant impact on compressive strength. When the contents of the plasticizer, the foaming agent, and the active agent were, respectively, 12%, 0.1%, and 0.3% and the mass ratio of fiber to starch was 2 : 5, the compressive strength was the best up to 0.94 MPa. Meanwhile, with the plasticizer content and the mass ratio of fiber to starch increasing, the cushioning coefficient of the material decreased first and then increased. Comparing the cushion and rebound performance of this material with others, the biomass cushion packaging material could be an ideal substitute of plastic packaging materials such as EPS and EPE.

Biodegradable and compostable plastic packaging (BCPP) has the potential to reduce a global plastic waste problem. We aimed to identify influences on buying BCPP as a basis for designing strategies that enable BCPP’s environmental benefits. Using a UK-focused citizen science dataset, we thematically analysed 610 survey responses to a question exploring reasons for BCPP purchase. Themes are categorised as barriers and enablers and according to the components of the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, and Behaviour (COM-B) model of behaviour. Key barriers concerned: psychological capability (not understanding terminology used to label packaging, not taking notice of packaging, and preferring other types of packaging and product qualities); reflective motivation (negative beliefs about BCPP’s environmental impacts and skepticism over decomposition claims), and physical opportunity (no access to appropriate waste management). Key enablers concern: reflective motivation (positive beliefs about BCPP’s environmental impact and resolve to behave pro-environmentally) and physical opportunity (access to appropriate waste management). Reducing ambiguity concerning the labels of biodegradable and compostable may reduce skepticism over environmental claims of packaging. Interventions should improve information about the source of the packaging material, how the packaging waste is processed, and how to dispose of the packaging. This will not be sufficient unless facilities for local BCPP waste collection and processing are increased.

A storage study of litchi juice packed in glass bottles and plastic pouches at 40°C to analyze effects of packaging material on ascorbic acid, browning and total phenol in litchi juice. The initial concentration of ascorbic acid in litchi juice was150.74mg/L and this was found to decrease by 30.56 and 26.12 mg/L after six weeks in glass bottles and plastic pouches. Dissolved oxygen concentration of litchi juice was decreased continuously in glass bottles and decreased fast first, then increased slowly in plastic pouches. Total phenol of litchi juice packed in glass bottles and plastic pouches decreased continuously. Litchi juice non-enzymatic browning attributed to ascorbic acid degradation, maillard reactions and polyphenol oxidation polymerization. The oxygen which permeated through plastic packaging material and dissolved in litchi juice promoted ascorbic acid degradation.
