Download or read book Packaging in the Environment written by Geoffrey M. Levy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concern about the harm that industrial activities may cause the environ ment, means that all are now being scrutinised to assess their impact. Packaging is no exception. It is now high on the political agenda, in terms of the environmental issues which are targeted for immediate attention in industrially developed countries and is often perceived as a wasteful drain on non-sustainable resources and an unnecessary indulgence on the part of affluent societies. This book seeks to understand and respond to the variety of pressures packaging now faces, and to review and correct the many misconceptions that exist in relation to its environmental impacts. It has been structured to address the topical and critical areas for attention; it identifies and explains what are seen to be the main issues and discusses the responses being made to them in different parts of the world. More specifically, this book is intended to: • clarify the facts and dispel many of the myths surrounding the environmental aspects of packaging • explain and emphasise packaging's essential role in the workings of human society • review legislative and regulatory developments, the trends and the extent to which they are converging • consider what constitutes environmentally responsible packaging manufacture • discuss and compare the relative environmental merits and differ ences between the various packaging materials and systems • address the requirements for identifying and controlling manufac turing impacts and the role of environmental auditing in this process
Download or read book Effectiveness of the Essential Requirements for Packaging and Packaging Waste and Proposals for Reinforcement written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Essential Requirements, which all packaging placed on the EU market needs to comply with, were first introduced in the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (PPWD - Directive 94/62/EC), as defined in Article 9 and Annex II. They relate to the manufacturing and composition of packaging, the reusable/ recoverable nature of packaging and hazardous materials to be minimised in packaging. These requirements, and the associated harmonised standards, have not changed substantially since their introduction, and previous studies have identified the Essential Requirements as potentially requiring further attention to improve packaging design, particularly in relation to the lack of recyclability of many packaging formats. In addition, the policy landscape has evolved significantly since the PPWD first established the Requirements; the 2018 revision of the PPWD included, in addition to a revision of the recycling targets for packaging waste, a mandate for the Commission to examine "the feasibility of reinforcing the essential requirements with a view to, inter alia, improving design for reuse and promoting high quality recycling, as well as strengthening their enforcement." This study supported the European Commission's review of the effectiveness and shortcomings of the Essential Requirements, identifying potential measures for their reinforcement, and conducting a preliminary assessment of the likely impacts of these.

Download or read book Bionanotechnology to Save the Environment written by Pierfrancesco Morganti and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanotechnology is the science of manipulating atoms and molecules in the nanoscale thousand times smaller than the width of a human hair. The world market for products that contain nanomaterials is expected to increase enormously in the future. The use of nanotechnology has stretched across various streams of science, from electronics to medicine and has also found applications in the field of cosmetics. How will this revolution impact our lifestyle and our planet? Very often the progresses of science, human knowledge and evolution of our lifestyle has been associated with devastating effects on our forests, oceans and more in general on our planet. The real challenge in the years to come is the sustainability of human evolution. The reader of this interesting book will discover how nanotechnology, and in particular nanomaterials derived from plant biomass and fishery’s waste, can improve the quality of our environment by reducing carbon emissions, improving the recycling of materials and even, in the long run, became a profitable business. Green nanotechnologies can be applied to a huge number of products ranging from intelligent textiles to smart drugs or functional polymers which can have a big impact on our daily lives, but nevertheless help us in saving our biodiversity and our planet. However, to fully achieve all these benefits, companies and scientists should be supported by National and International Agencies and Institutions in order to facilitate and support scientific development in this field allowing from one side the protection of intellectual property, but on the other giving accessibility of these technologies to emerging countries for improving the quality of life and the environment all over the world equally.
