1 2/15/2016 PAPERFOAM: REDUCING YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT FOR PACKAGING
2 SUMMARY Role of packaging Materials for packaging Environmental aspects of packaging 1 Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
3 THE ROLE OF PACKAGING Protection & Conservation (barrier) 2 Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
4 THE ROLE OF PACKAGING Distribution: Bundle and ship 3 Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
5 THE ROLE OF PACKAGING Inform users (product info + marketing) 4 Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
6 THE ROLE OF PACKAGING And above the direct Packaging functions, new trends can be observed: Packaging should be environmentally friendly reusable or recyclable Packaging should not contribute to litter the plastic soup Packaging should have a natural look & feel 5 Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
7 ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY? A complex combination of: Product protection Food safety Look & Feel Waste reduction 6 Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
8 ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY? Carbon footprint Water usage Land use Recyclability Compost ability Bio based 7 Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
9 BIOBASED VERSUS BIO DEGRADABLE Bio based (ASTM 6866) All materials originating from recent biomass Direct: wood, starch, protein, Indirect: from fermentation or e.g. algae (And not from fossil fuels) Example: Bio based preferred program USDA Bio degradable chemical dissolution of materials by bacteria, fungi or other biological means Note: Not all Bio based products are Bio degradable E.g. Bio-PE, Bio-PET, And not all bio degradable products are bio based 8 Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
10 COMPOSTABILITY EN / ASTM 6400 defines compost ability: Bio degradation into CO2 + Water + minerals Disintegration into small parts Heavy metals Eco toxicity Compost ability Home Compost ability 9 Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
11 LIFE CYCLE APPROACH Take into account all environmental effects: Of the Packaging And of the product during packed phase One damaged product can be more important than a double weight of the packaging Investigate: Cradle to Factory gate Transportation Product protection Recycling options 10 Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
12 BACK TO PACKAGING: WOOD BASED Perfect types of bio based packaging already available: Paper Carton Pulp Wood Cellophane Paper/Pulp/Wood/ Product protection +/- Food safety + Natural Look&Feel ++ Carbon footprint + Water usage + Land use + Recyclability ++ Compost ability ++ Litter + Plastic Soup + Bio based Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
13 BACK TO PACKAGING: BIO PLASTICS Many types of bio based (from plastic copies) packaging already available: Bio-PE Bio-PET Bio plastics Product protection ++ Food safety + Natural Look&Feel - Carbon footprint +/- Water usage + Land use +/- Recyclability + Compost ability - Litter - Plastic Soup - Bio based + 12 Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
14 BACK TO PACKAGING: NEW MATERIALS Many types of compost able bio based packaging already available: PLA PHA Tomato leafs Grass box EcoCradle PaperFoam New compostable materials Product protection ++ Food safety + Natural Look&Feel +/- Carbon footprint + Water usage + Land use + Recyclability + Compost ability ++ Litter + Plastic Soup + Bio based + 13 Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
15 CASE STUDY PAPERFOAM Injection moulded From starch & fibers Light weight Ultra low carbon footprint Used for packaging of electronics, cosmetics, medical products and food 14 Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
16 CARBON FOOTPRINT COMMON PACKAGING MATERIALS Kg CO2-eq/kg Density (approx.) PS - HIPS 3,7 1,06 EPS 3,6 0,03 PET 3,3 1,27 PLA 3,2 1,25 PHA 2,4 1,3 HDPE 2,1 0,96 PULP 1.9 0,5 PET R 1,0 1,27 PaperFoam 0,14 0,18 Cradle to factory gate emissions. Sources: Idemat 2015; Patel 2007 (PaperFoam) 15 Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
17 CARBON EMISSION OF TRAYS (TON CO2-EQ) 600 ton CO2-eq / year PaperFoam 10 eggs PET E 10 eggs PS tray 10 eggs Pulp 10 eggs 0 PaperFoam 10 eggs PET E 10 eggs PS tray 10 eggs Pulp 10 eggs 16 Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
18 CARBON EMISSION Replacement of pulp by PaperFoam (5 million trays) >> 500 ton CO2-eq saved future expected price Euro 100,-/ton >> Euro ,- Or a substantial price reduction. Replacement of 1 packaging per day by everybody in Germany and the Netherlands will reduce the total carbon emission (D+NL) with about 0,5-1%. 17 Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
19 CONCLUSION Traditional bioplastics are nice inventions Known properties Known routes for production But for packaging new materials can be much more attractive: Good packaging properties Lower carbon footprints Compostable More natural feeling 18 Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
20 CONCLUSION-2 But beware: introduction can be difficult. New materials have other properties Acceptance procedures are based on paper and plastics Lack of standardised and authorized knowledge Less known routes 19 Matching for new materials: February 15th 2016
