Immersion biotesting has long been used to challenge packages, particularly cans, for pinholes and channel leaks. Such testing for all types of plastic packaging may not be appropriate because some packages (e.g., aseptic, hot fill) are not exposed to water. As the food-packaging industry develops alternative environmental biotests there is a need to benchmark them against traditional immersion testing. The purpose of this research was to examine the threshold of critical-defect dimensions using artifically created channel leaks of 10 and 20 μm and 5- and 10-mm lengths sealed into plastic pouches which were subsequently tested by immersion at 102 and 106 CFU of motile and nonmotile Pseudomonas fragi TM849 per ml. Forty-four percent (44%) of the pouches tested became contaminated, indicating the threshold defect value is below 10 μm. Microbial ingress was significant (P < .05) for motile test organisms with a concentration of 106 CFU/ml. The interaction of concentration and time was also significant at 102 CFU/ml at 30 min exposure and 106 CFU/ml at 15 min. Channel length was not statistically significant. The markedly greater contamination rate using immersion testing versus that of aerosol testing highlights the importance of using test methods that reflect environmental exposure conditions of the packages.

Pharmaceutical packaging is highly sophisticated industry as quality and safety issues are of utmost priority. Use of advanced technology and high grade plastic materials for pharmaceutical packaging is essence of the market success. In Bangladesh, 30 local pharmaceuticals plastic packaging material producers are capturing almost 70% of the local market while the rest (30%) that require extremely high-tech processing is import dependent. Nevertheless, some local plastic companies are setting up world-class dedicated plant for pharmaceutical plastic packaging, while some pharmaceutical companies such as Square and Acme are extending their facility into backward value segment of the plastic packaging industry. This study strives to determine the market size, major players of the industry–both from supply and demand sides–along with individual contribution in terms of value. It also outlines strategic imperatives for growth and competitiveness of the enterprises involved in the industry.

Global Carbon

The plastic packaging accounts for great proportion in the packaging industry, resulting in great confrontation and challenge for global carbon reduction development because of the plastic packaging wastes (PPW) generation. Thus the fully reasonable utilization of the PPW presents a positive strategy. Based on the international practical policy and demand of PPW management, the article classified the recycling and separation technology, and the reuse and utilization disposal approaches of the PPW. Firstly, it defined the PPW’s source, classification and chemical composition, focusing on the recycling and separation technology principles and practices. Then it discussed several PPW disposal approaches emphasizing on the recycling, and summarized the principles and practices of mechanical recycling, chemical recycling, and energy recycling and biodegradable utilization on the PPW. Finally, it presented a suggestion on recycling and utilization of PPW.

Comprehensive Study

The packaging industry has considerably been witnessing significant growth over the past few years. In today’s scenario, incorporating sustainable practices in packaging businesses is becoming a standard. Whether, it is due to the preferences of manufacturers, regulatory standards, consumer pressure, or retailer’s choice, the eco-friendly packaging solutions are increasingly attaining a rise in demand. Shifting trend towards environmental efficiency, has led to an increase in focus on fewer resources, lesser energy as well as smaller footprint among various packaging businesses. In order to cater to the potential pressure stemming from these trends, advanced level of agility and technological innovation is gaining traction. Hence, re-inventing and re-thinking by packaging industries poses strong and concrete opportunities for the transformational shift towards sustainability solutions thereby, also eliminating the plastic packaging issues in different sectors. This paper discusses about the determinants impacting sustainable packaging along with the market analysis for the same.

Pet Plastic Packaging

Plastic industry plays an important role in the economic development. The PET plastic packaging industry is the largest segment of the plastic industry, accounting for 37.43% of GDP of Vietnam's plastic industry. However, the current production and consumption of PET in Vietnam are having significant environmental impacts. This study uses input-output tables (IO tables) in 2007, 2012 and updated for 2018 to determine the current status of plastic production and plastic consumption (by economic sectors) in Vietnam during the period of 2007 - 2018. At the same time, the research integrates IO tool and LCI to identify the environmental burden in the PET plastic packaging life cycle through PET’s demand of other economic sectors. The results show that the two biggest PET plastic consumers are food processing sectors and electronics sectors, and these industries are also responsible for the highest indirect GHG emissions. This result can form the basis for developing a sustainable plastic packaging production and consumption strategy for Vietnam.

Level Of Importance

The manufacturing industry in general cannot be separated from the role of the plastic industry. In Indonesia, there are 925 companies that produce various kinds of plastic products for the food and beverage industry, automotive industry, pharmaceutical industry and other industries. Companies are faced with challenges to improve their supply chain competitiveness, while plastic packaging companies generally do not have a comprehensive performance measurement framework in their supply chains. The purpose of this research is to select and determine the level of importance of the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for measuring the supply chain performance of the plastic packaging industry using the SCOR and AHP framework. In the initial stage, 45 KPIs were identified, from the results of expert validation, 29 KPIs were distributed to the dimensions of reliability, responsiveness, flexibility, cost, and assets. At the level 1 hierarchy the greatest level of importance is generated in the dimensions of reliability (A1), asset management (E1), responsiveness (B1), cost (D1), and flexibility (C1) with weights of 0.262, 0.209, respectively. 0.191, 0.175, and 0.163. The largest distribution of KPIs is on the reliability dimension, namely 32%, followed by the cost dimension of 16%, 12% responsiveness, flexibility and asset management have the same distribution, namely 4%. Based on the results of weighting using the AHP method, a supply chain performance measurement framework is recommended in the case of the plastic packaging industry.

The aim of this review is to provide an overview of recent findings related to bacterial cellulose application in bio-packaging industry. This constantly growing sector fulfils a major role by the maintenance of product safety and quality, protection against environmental impacts that affect the shelf life. Conventional petroleum-based plastic packaging are still rarely recyclable and have a number of harmful environmental effects. Herein, we discuss the most recent studies on potential good alternative to plastic packaging—bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), known as an ecological, safe, biodegradable, and chemically pure biopolymer. The limitations of this bio-based packaging material, including relatively poor mechanical properties or lack of antimicrobial and antioxidant activity, can be successfully overcome by its modification with a wide variety of bioactive and reinforcing compounds. BNC active and intelligent food packaging offer a new and innovative approach to extend the shelf life and maintain, improve, or monitor product quality and safety. Incorporation of different agents BNC matrices allows to obtain e.g., antioxidant-releasing films, moisture absorbers, antimicrobial membranes or pH, freshness and damage indicators, humidity, and other biosensors. However, further development and implementation of this kind of bio-packaging will highly depend on the final performance and cost-effectiveness for the industry and consumers.
