Jonathan Cohen from Du Pont explains the aims of his company in developing sustainable solutions for the packaging industry.
"Expanding our portfolio of solutions in renewably sourced packaging is a key strategy for DuPont's Performance Materials segment," said Diane Gulyas, group vice president — DuPont Performance Materials. "These new offerings demonstrate the power of marrying DuPont's core competency in materials and polymer science with our leadership in bio-based technologies and renewable feedstocks to deliver offerings that provide comparable or better performance than the petrochemical-based materials they replace. They support our commitment to helping customers improve the sustainability of their value chains."
Biomax® TPS is a renewably sourced thermoplastic starch for packaging applications. The offering consists of sheet stock that contains 85-90 percent renewably sourced content for thermoformed trays and articles, and resins for injection-molded parts and containers. Biomax® PTT contains up to 35 percent renewably sourced content for packaging applications. It is especially suitable for use in injection-molded containers, cosmetic packaging and other parts where polyesters are used.
The new DuPont™ Hytrel® RS thermoplastic elastomers, DuPont™ Sorona® EP thermoplastic resins, DuPont™ Selar® VP breathable films and renewably sourced grades of DuPont™ Zytel® long chain polyamides.
Renewably Sourced Materials from DuPont offer several benefits over petroleum-based products. These products reduce dependence on petroleum and, in many instances, reduce the net production of greenhouse gases and energy consumption when compared to incumbent products. With today's innovative technologies, all this can be achieved without compromising performance. Applications for renewably sourced products cross numerous industries and markets. They are used in a wide variety of products including carpeting, fabrics for apparel and interiors, personal care products, automotive components, liquid detergents, food packaging and antifreeze.
DuPont -- one of the first companies to publicly establish environmental goals 18 years ago -- has broadened its sustainability commitments beyond internal footprint reduction to include market-driven targets for both revenue and research and development investment. The goals are tied directly to business growth, specifically to the development of safer and environmentally improved new products for key global markets, including packaging.
PLEASE LEAVE A STAR RATING!
My channel on you tube : http://www.youtube.com/alanheath is one of the most prolific from Poland, although unfortunately not the most visited. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced almost 600 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occasional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects
Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!
There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- http://www.ceepackaging.com - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focussing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
In 1997 I founded Polish Business News http://www.pbn.com.pl .There are a number of business related films here and I intend to do many more on CRM (customer relations management).
My blog can be found via http://www.ceepackaging.com and http://www.pbn.com.pl and contains background information and more details of many of my films. This information is in English.

Most people take packaging for granted. We buy most items based exclusively by the package appeal. Fantastic possibilities to recycle.

Yes, that is what it is all about. Packaging is selling. If the packaging is not appealing, the product will not sell!
