@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.
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.

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.
@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.

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 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. https://t.co/Qr4XfaqV12
@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.
@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

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: https://t.co/ob3wglogQg
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
We consistently build tools and resources for our customers, to ease their ordering process, for highly #custom products.
But, when customers disregard these tools, orders are often submitted with incorrect #data and details.
What tools are you using in this scenario?
@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!
@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?
.@storaenso has announced the opening of its Dry Molded Fiber Production Unit in Skene, Sweden, utilizing @PulPac_DMF process to produce fibre products such as cup lids, which reportedly have a lower CO2 footprint compared to single-use plastics

On a call with my design team to discuss automating our customer approvals of design files.
Without a formal PLM, we utilize #slack automations and back-end integrations to #airtable to manage approvals, daily workflows / progress.
What are other #startups using?
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.
.@Carbios and Selenis have signed a Letter of Intent to recycle PET cosmetic and healthcare packaging waste into PETG using enzymatic depolymerization technology
