Presentation summary

Explores the contradiction between environmental protection and practicality in plastic packaging, the core concept of the circular economy, the validity of environmental claims, and the application of technology in assessing the performance of recycled materials. 1.

  1. Environmental Protection vs Practicality: Through the case study of transport packaging, we analyze the dual nature of plastic packaging: Transport packaging broadly adopts plastic materials due to their durability, lightness, and waterproof characteristics, bringing about high practical value. However, the production, use, and waste disposal processes of plastic transport packaging also pose serious environmental problems. We need to explore how plastic transport packaging can achieve better performance in environmental protection while achieving practical functions.
  2. The core of the circular economy: Starting with transport packaging, explore the feasibility of plastic recycling: The extensive use and waste of transport packaging make it a key object for plastic recycling. By evaluating the recycling content and recyclability of transport packaging, we can clarify its value in resource recycling and improve its recyclability through improved design, thereby promoting the development of a circular economy.
  3. Authenticity of green claims: Verify the authenticity of environmental claims: Various transport packaging manufacturers are making environmental promises to enhance their brand image. However, whether these environmental promises are true needs to be validated through strict environmental claims verification. The systematic assessment of the lifecycle environmental impact of its products or services by a third party can ensure the truthfulness and credibility of its claims.
  4. Technology and Environmental Protection: The focus is on identifying the performance of recycled material packaging: Advances in technology provide the possibility for evaluating and improving the recycling of plastic packaging, particularly in identifying the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of recycled transport packaging materials. This not only helps in evaluating their reuse value, but also improves their treatment process.

Study on the Current Status and Sustainable Development Trends of Circulating Packaging Box in China

Xin Guo, PhD Candidate, Tongji University
Presentation summary

The rapid development of China's express delivery industry has entered the "100 billion parcels" era as of 2021. Express packaging waste has become a major contributor to the increase in urban household garbage, leading to serious issues of resource wastage and environmental pollution. Promoting the green transition of express packaging based on circular economy principles—achieving cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and carbon reduction—has become the primary development direction. Several policy documents in China have also set quantitative goals for the development of circular packaging. However, the current circular packaging system needs improvement, consumer awareness of recycling is not yet established, the recycling mechanisms are not well developed, and there are gaps in relevant testing standards and environmental impact assessment methods. Therefore, this study, grounded in circular economy and value engineering concepts, aims to propose a design approach to achieve the optimal solution for "protection performance, environmental benefits, and economic benefits" of circular packaging in different scenarios (2B and 2C). Additionally, it will propose a method for accounting the environmental benefits of circular packaging that can be driven by policy.

Takeaways:

  1. The express packaging industry has entered the "100 billion parcels" era, with the circular packaging market projected to reach a scale of 200 to 300 billion. There is an urgent need for a circular packaging system solution that combines cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and carbon reduction.
  2. Currently, there is a mismatch between the strength performance requirements of circular packaging and the lifecycle of materials.
  3. Circular packaging exhibits a phenomenon of environmental burden shifting.
  4. Solving for the optimal solution of circular packaging in terms of "protection performance, environmental benefits, and economic benefits" can maximize overall benefits.

Eric Joneson

Innovative Method Used to Measure, Analyze and Report on Transport Vehicle Horizontal Acceleration Dynamicsn

Eric Joneson, VP Technology, Lansmont Corp.
Presentation summary

Recording GPS information synchronized with contiguous DC triaxial acceleration data on a continuous basis for the duration of a trip has several advantages over the more common event driven data collection method. Using contiguous acceleration data, there is no possibility of missing a vehicle acceleration, braking, or turning activity, no matter how long the duration of the activity, or how low the acceleration level. The resulting data file can be analyzed post-trip in multiple ways to look for different types of data. GPS information shows when the vehicle speeds up, slows down, or turns. Since GPS and triaxial acceleration recording is synchronized, GPS data points to the acceleration data for these activities, all without an acceleration trigger level required. Through a more comprehensive analysis of those dynamics, laboratory test procedures can be developed to simulate the worst-of-normal characterizations of those dynamics.

Biography: Joneson holds a B.S. in Packaging from Michigan State University and has an extended experience in areas of transportation packaging, supply chain dynamics measurement and analysis and laboratory testing applications. He is a member of both the International Association of Packaging Research Institutes (IAPRI) and the International Safe Transit Association’s Global Board of Directors, as well as Lansmont’s Delegate of the ISTA Advocate Council.
