1. 21. Mapping of Material & Conversion Parameters of Packaging Production – Boardio®

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Yusuf Qasem; Younes Chraibi Ottosson; [2022]
   Keywords : Chemical Engineering; Packaging; Packaging Production; Paperboard; Converting; Lamination; Extrusion; Die-cutting; X-ray tomography; GPI; Creasing; Perforation; Tensile Strength; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : With an increased demand for sustainable packaging solutions for the ever-growing FMCG market, fiber-based systems rise as an answer to phasing out plastics in packages and reducing the humanity’s climate footprint. However, constructing a packaging solution largely consisting of paperboard comes with its challenges, such as integrating functionalities in the anisotropic paperboard that formerly were provided by a fundamentally different materials with divergent mechanical properties, being isotropic polymers.

3. 22. The impact of interface characteristics on the recyclability and repulpability of packaging material

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Ingrid Isacsson; [2022]
   Keywords : Tetra Pak ®; Recyclability; repulpability; packaging material; fiber-based barrier; chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The world is slowly moving towards a more environmentally friendly mindset and many companies, such as Tetra Pak® have followed this lead by producing more environmentally friendly products and developing better materials with less environmental impact. To accommodate these requirements, it is important that the package is recyclable. READ MORE

4. 23. Crosslinked Cartonboard - Challenges and possibilities

   University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

   Author : Malin Elvin; [2022]
   Keywords : Cartonboard; crosslinking; mechanical properties; SCT;

   Abstract : The need for sustainable packaging is growing, and plastic waste needs to be reduced. A suitable alternative could be fibre-based packaging and cartonboard, and several actions could enhance this alternative. This study investigates crosslinking, a method to create stronger bonds between the OH-groups in the material. READ MORE

5. 24. Integration of food shelf-life in life cycle assessment of polymers

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

   Author : Divya Sukumaran Nair; [2021]
   Keywords : Food shelf-life; life cycle assessment; biopolymers; food packaging; sustainability; shelf-life induced food waste; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Biopolymers are being considered as a promising alternative to fossil-based polymers and this inclination towards biopolymers is due to their lower environmental impact owing to their origin from renewable resources. The environmental impact assessment, however, often does not consider the impact of barrier properties of polymers and the resulting differences in food waste generated in the supply chain.
