内容説明

Plastics packaging plays an increasing role in marketing, conveying, and protecting products in the fast moving consumer goods market. Plastics packaging is lightweight and tough, can be manufactured, filled and packed at high speed - contributing to reduced costs and the minimization of packaging in the supply chain. Designed as a practical handbook Materials and Development of Plastics Packaging for the Consumer Market covers the materials and development of plastics packaging for food, beverages, household, and personal care products. The book takes you through the opportunities and performance elements related to the use of plastics materials in packaging. Topics range from environmental considerations and recycling, materials and development in this sector of the packaging industry, and barrier properties in relation to types of plastics. Dispensing and reclosing systems provide consumer convenience. Tamper-evident and child-resistant closures contribute to safety. At the end of their lifecycle, plastics pack can be disposed of safely by a number of environmentally acceptable options - mechanical recycling, chemical recycling or incineration with energy recovery. With the range of benefits available, it is not surprising that plastics are the materials of choice for many packaging applications. Materials and Development of Plastics Packaging for the Consumer Market gives you the information you need to make more informed choices in the selection and use of the available materials.

内容説明

Plastics are enjoying substantial growth as a packaging medium, at the expense of materials such as glass, metals and paper, and in spite of environmental pressures on plastics materials in general. The growth of plastics packaging is due in no small part to the technologies available to convert available materials into packs of different forms -- flexible, semi--flexible and rigid -- at high speed. This has had a crucial role in minimising the cost of plastics packaging. High quality packs can be produced, with the option of including decoration as part of the moulding process. This volume acquaints the reader with the technologies that can be used to convert a limited number of polymers into a myriad of packaging formats. Designed as a companion volume to Materials and Development of Plastics Packaging for the Consumer Market (eds G A Giles and D R Bain), it covers the manufacture of plastics packaging for the food, beverage, household and personal care products markets worldwide. Chapter authors have been drawn from industry or from sources close to industry. The volume is directed at packaging technologists and those involved in the design and development of packaging. It will also be of interest to those involved in specifying or purchasing packaging.
