The inevitable use of the glass in packing materials


In the modern world, the use of glass and the need for the same is slowly diminishing. This is due to the fact that environmentalists have argued that it is better to replace such bottles with recyclable materials such as plastic.


The latter is much lighter meaning it can be easily carried around, it is unbreakable compared to the former and the cost of manufacturing it is much lower. On the other side, Plastic bottles are inevitable in this world of   synthetic materials, right from our homes till the end of the day there are numerous ways that we come in contact with the plastic bottles.

They have become inescapable; they bring us everything from household cleaners to soft drinks to things as willingly obtainable as water. Nowadays you will be really surprised to see the different kind of the shapes and sizes the plastic bottles come in. they are attractive and very colorful. The quality of the material used in its making is one of the advantages that are associated with using it as a packaging material.

The material is pure with no chemicals in it making it possible to have the beverage kept free from impurities. On the other hand, plastics are associated with chemicals that may contaminate the beverage making it unhealthy for consumption. One can also make a personalized carry plastic bottle for own usage and if you want the bottles to be your wearing company’s symbols and logos, you can do that as well. This would remind you of your proud success whenever you take in the sip.

Most beverage companies have adhered to these demands and have resorted to packing their drinks in plastic bottles, but for others such as those who deal with wine; it would be hard to do so since the temperature of wine would never allow it to be packed in any other material other than glass bottles. There are many advantages associated with this kind of packaging, so the glass bottles can not be completely neglected. Glass bottles are also known for their ability to retain the temperature of the beverage, an example being wine which needs to be stored in a certain temperature and as such, the material comes in handy. For this case, the type of drink in question also matters in that some require thick storage materials while others require those made of thin materials.

GOOD MORNING WITH A COFFEE



Morning or evening, coffee is the only thing which one requires. Degassing valve or often called as the freshness valve or the aroma valve or the coffee valve are used in various fields and is named as per that.  Along with it, it has many types and as per the use it is modified and fulfills its utility.  The one way degassing valve is used in coffee bags packaging and here it allows the pressure to be released from air tight package while preventing air from getting back into the package.

Air especially oxygen (O2) can have the negative effect on the packed contents and its freshness. The standard type of degassing valve has 3 parts, the valve body, filter and the rubber disc.  Valve body attaches to the air tight package and supports the rubber disc and filter.  Filter prevents small particles from clogging the one way valve while the rubber disc adheres or seals to the valve body via a layer of oil and creates an oxygen proof seal.

It is used in packaging of various food products.  Especially in bulk transportation via ship or cargo planes, it has been proved to be very efficient in maintaining the quality and freshness.  The degasser is also used in HPLC, for the removal of gases from the mobile phase.  Also in the packaging of various moisture sensitive medicines, degassing valves are used.  The most common use of degassing valves is in the packaging of the fresh roasted coffee.  Fresh roasted coffee emits large amount of CO2 for several days after roasting it.  At this time, the removal of CO2 is very important to maintain the taste and freshness of coffee.  For this, the one way degassing valve proves to be very essential.

The coffee after processing with the degassing valve is then packed in there bags or pouches.  Coffee bags which we use or see in our day to day routine have its own importance.  Coffee bags were developed to provide the convenience of instant coffee and maintain its flavor.  Also, the coffee bags were developed which has to be dipped into the hot water for at least 10minutes to get its taste.  If the coffee bag is punchered or the degassing valve is not functional then the aroma and taste of coffee is lost.  Big care is to be taken with respect to its processing.  Thus, every sip of coffee is not taken, it is to be earned.

It has been found that plastic is extremely hazardous and causes severe damage to the earth and subsequently, to the creatures inhabiting it. Plastic is not a biodegradable substance and thus it is toxic to health if thrown in the environment.

Now a day’s recycling plastic bags are also available which can be distinguished easily from the normal plastic bags as they have the symbol of recycling above them. Plastic containers for various use are available in market. To make cakes, muffins, cookies etc. When it comes to takeout, there is nothing like the moldability of plastic to come up with just the right shapes, or the clear tops that allow the customer to view your masterpiece. Plastic containers, whether they are bowls, dishes or hinge locking, are super efficient.  Plastic melts when heated to high temperature , but now such  plastic containers are available which when even heated to high temperature don’t melt.

They are lightweight and easy to store - even on a high shelf. The process of making plastic is a complicated one. It begins with carbon from petroleum, natural gas, coal, or biological sources. The elements can be combined in various combinations in order to achieve a desired property and characteristic. The final product can be hard like the siding on your house or soft and flexible like shrink wrap.

Have you ever noticed the number with the arrows surrounding it on your plastic bottles? Many people use these numbers to determine how the product is to be recycled.

I'm someone who believes the only way to see a movie is in a big theater, on a big screen, with a big bag of popcorn. Yes I am a paper bag. With the growing complains of the environmental pollution now there seems a need to replace the plastic bags with the paper bags.  Paper recycling is the process of recovering waste paper and remaking it into new paper.

The "paper or plastic" conundrum that vexed earnest shoppers throughout the 1980s and 90s is largely moot today. Most grocery store baggers don't bother to ask anymore. Plastic bags are so cheap to produce, sturdy, plentiful, easy to carry and store that they have captured at least 80 percent of the grocery and convenience store market since they were introduced a quarter century ago. Paper bags or plastic bags, it seems like it should be an easy choice, but there are an incredible number of details and inputs hidden in each bag. From durability and reusability to life cycle costs, there's a lot more to each bag than meet the eye.

Paper comes from trees, and the pulpwood tree industry is large. It begins with logging, where select trees are found, marked, and felled. This process creates a tremendous scar in the forests natural habitat(s), for both plant and animal. It can take over a century for nature to recover from even a small logging operation. But the positive point of paper bags is they can be recycled again after using once. While in case of plastic bags, they are not biodegradable. 

Being reusable means less waste of natural resources like oil and less carbon dioxide emissions that are produced during their manufacture. Plastic bags do not decompose. The sun photo degrades the bags, meaning that over time, the sun breaks down the plastic into smaller and smaller pieces. This actually is not good as the small particles can enter the food chain, particularly when the bags litter the sea and are accidently mistaken for food by wild life. People generally throw paper bags on the road side or is used in recycling. If it goes to the land, it will be easily decayed. Whereas plastic bags take 100’s of years to decay. Actually only 3% of overall plastic bags all over world are really plastic. If made a comparison plastic bags cause more harm to the environment then paper bags do.

Use of glass bottles for better results



Be it a medicine or an energy drink for kids, glass bottles are of utmost importance in day to day life. To ensure the freshness of the material in the glass bottles many companies are going into the manufacturing of the glass bottles. The quality of the packaging containers is getting better day by day. The most striking thing is the excellence of material and thus goes for the best in terms of it. There are various kinds of bottles available in market used for various purposes.

Glass being and amorphous material break down easily if not handled with care. The transparency of the glass is one of the factors why it is being used in large amount. Silica is the fundamental constituent of glass. Glass is in widespread use largely due to the production of glass compositions that are transparent to visible wavelengths of light. In contrast, poly crystalline materials do not in general transmit visible light. The individual crystallites may be transparent, but their facets (grain boundaries) reflect or scatter light resulting in diffuse reflection. Glass does not contain the internal subdivisions associated with grain boundaries in poly crystals and hence does not scatter light in the same manner as a polycrystalline material. Glass has the ability to refract reflect and transmit light following geometrical optics , without scattering it, and it is used in the manufacture of lenses  and windows.

Common glass has a refractive index around 1.5. Glass bottles are even used to carry out many reactions in dark cause they stop the light being transmitted into the reaction mixture. Different colored glass bottles can be obtained by addition of electrically charged ions during the manufacturing of glass. Addition of iron impurities gives green color to the glass. Packaging containers can either be of glass, plastic or paper. It is advisable to use paper packaging container for keeping food health and fresh. Even the environmental problems are solved if we use paper containers because they are reusable and biodegradable.

Decade ago, the only baby bottles available to parents were made of glass. But glass was heavy and, more importantly, breakable. So when plastic bottles came along that were lighter and shatter-proof. However, recent reports that a type of plastic found in baby bottles might cause potentially harmful changes in developing babies has left parents wondering if perhaps old-fashioned glass wasn't such a bad thing after all. You will be really satisfied if you use best glass bottles from standard company.

Eat healthy live healthy



Most of the food material gets contaminated if they are exposed to atmosphere for a greater period of time. For this purpose food packaging is the most important thing. It requires protection, tampering resistance, and special physical, chemical, or biological needs. It also shows the product that is labeled to show any nutrition information on the food being consumed. Food packaging includes aluminum food packaging, plastic food packaging, polystyrene food packaging, paper food packaging etc.

Packaging Supply offers glass bottles and plastic containers for individual purposes. Food packaging offers physical protection, barrier protection, agglomeration, security, convenience etc. Market leaders in food packaging for the fresh and chilled food sectors and the fastest growing packaging suppliers to the sector are across UK and Europe. Below highlights the most popular whole sale food packaging supply, packaging materials and general industry supplies common to the Food process market segment. Reduced packaging and sustainable packaging are becoming more frequent.

Plastic packaging being used is usually non-biodegradable due to possible interactions with the food. Also, biodegradable polymers often require special composting conditions to properly degrade. Normal sealed landfill conditions do not promote biodegradation. Biodegradable plastics include biodegradable films and coatings synthesized from organic materials and microbial polymers. Food packaging involves much of care to b taken, so as the food don’t get decomposed after several days. Many ingredients are added into the food as a “preservative “to protect the food from being attacked by fungi or termites. Packaging supply provides us with the material to preserve food, either it be plastic bag or a paper bag .it is advisable to use paper bags rather than plastic bags from food packaging. From a school going kid to a business man each and everybody in today’s life need our food to b covered and healthy.

For this immense care has to b taken even for the packaging supplies. If the plastic bags are of not good material it may cause harm to our food. Even the vendors and the shopkeepers should know the importance of food packaging. Packaging supplies though has equivalent importance they should b easily available and cheap and easy to transport. Food packaging is an integral and essential component of food science and technology curricula. Thus a major attention should b drawn by the government to make the packaging supplies of better quality. Strong packaging can be strong food safety and protect against bacterial.
