@cpgwire @PackagingSci Does anyone have intel on the type of liner being used on these paperboard tubes? A client of mine attempted a glassine coated paperboard tube for a confection product- it failed miserably due to poor MVTR and OTR…

Great article about @getgraza #packaging. Adding simple utility, in a familiar form factor, with beautiful branding, is a key to success!

Take a look at the comment section.
This is a prime example of the current consumer sentiment around packaging expectations versus “sustainable” options.
Consumers aren’t willing to sacrifice product visibility, for sake of “environmentally friendly” design changes.
Good Smile Company@goodsmile_en
Notice Regarding Change in Packaging Design Nendoroid and Nendoroid [Basic] products will soon feature redesigned packaging that significantly minimizes the use of plastic materials, reducing plastic consumption by up to 84% as compared to the original design. Details: goodsmile.link/ClqXH7

The power of #local #sourcing agents and team members is critical in the world of global #supplychain.
I am so grateful for my team members around the world that help us operate at a high level.

@PackagingSci @IoPP_Pros @uwstout @PackagingSci thanks for sharing- unfortunately, an oil saturated paperboard wouldn’t be as easily recyclable.
English
@PD_Tech_Dash @IoPP_Pros @uwstout It would probably be fine at typical use case temperatures. I tried Little Otter and didn't have any issues with melting, but the paperboard became picked up after a few weeks and oils(?) from the product absorbed into the container. A grease/abrasion resistant coating may help.

🎉Congrats to @uwstout packaging students for winning the 2024 Student AmeriStar Award in the Cosmetics category! This Triangular Paperboard Lip Balm design combines sustainability with practicality, making it perfect for outdoor adventures. More details: buff.ly/3AgqXdA

@fesposito22 @plasticsnews @arburgworld @CatherineKav These are always interesting, impregnating a molded plastic part with other organic materials (hemp fiber, paper, etc.)
While it results in a slight part-weight reduction of plastic material, these composites complicate the recycling process significantly.

@FlexPackMag How does the valve separate from the pouch?

Interesting work by @medialab, using glass that approaches compressive strength of concrete blocks.
Is this compressive strength due to the 3D printing process? Or, is this replicable at scale using more traditional glass molding manufacturing?
MIT Media Lab@medialab
MIT researchers have developed tough, recyclable glass bricks that interlock like LEGO blocks to create a type of “reconfigurable masonry.” The bricks are made with a 3D printer from Media Lab spinoff Evenline, which uses molten glass as a feedstock. designboom.com/technology/mit…

@FlexPackOrg I’m always excited to see what new #products are adapted into #flexible packaging formats.
So often, flexible packaging can offer superior product:packaging right-sizing opportunities, and efficient packing / filling solutions.

#FlexiblePackaging is redefining convenience. Lightweight and space-efficient, it suits modern lifestyles while cutting shipping costs and saving shelf space. With resealable zippers and spouts, it meets the needs of both consumers and manufacturers. #Sustainability

@PackagingEurope @thermofisher great write-up!
Does “ambient” shipping mean that this packaging is meant to insulate from external temp changes (maintaining ambient internal temp?) Or, is this a cold-chain solution, in which products are maintained at a low temperature?

.@thermofisher has introduced an ambient shipping solution for 125,000 of its Invitrogen antibodies, said to represent a 90% reduction in shipment mass and reduce carbon emissions packagingeurope.com/news/thermo-fi…

AI integrations and workflows are only as productive as their downstream stakeholders are equipped to handle.
In an industry comprised of several generations of technology, it’s no surprise that #AI, moving at the speed of light, may have some shortcomings.

Read the article: ow.ly/JHkb50TIn5U Is AI truly delivering on its promise? Our recent article delves into why so many manufacturers are struggling with AI implementation and what they can do to overcome these challenges. #supplychainbrain

@AEC_Tech_Dash Document Crunch’s Series B is impressive, but with so many powerful voices on the cap table, leadership must feel pulled in every direction. Board meetings must be intense!
English
Looks like Document Crunch closed their series B to no one's surprise.
This startup might have the most stacked VC backing of any contech company.
Nemetschek, Fifth Wall, Trimble Ventures, Zacua, Ironspring, along with several ENR top 100 contractors.
They literally have Avengers-level industry experts on the cap table.
Ironically, their lead investor was Titanium - a random, non-AEC specific VC.
Maybe I'm wrong on this but I imagine the team is getting pulled in 10 directions at once. Their board meetings must be an absolute battle.

@PackagingEurope @storaenso @PulPac_DMF In China, I’ve heard of sugarcane, bagasse, and PCR fibers being used for molded pulp.
What raw material streams do producers in Europe plan to use?

Interesting #Sustainability news coming out of the EU. Healthcare and Cosmetic packaging pose unique regulatory risks, due to potential contamination of the recycling stream.
#Chemical #recycling is a new technology that can change this.
