WOODEN CRATES IN THE SHIPPING INDUSTRY

Dating back to the 18th century in Europe, the use of wooden crates in the shipping industry was also accompanied by an increasing incorporation of wood in buckets, barrels, boxes, buildings, machines, mills, furniture, carts, ships, and even shoes. Fine wooden boxes were used to store precious objects as well as to act as decorative pieces, industrial wooden crates gathered, stored, protected and shipped consumer goods.

Berry’s Reusable Beer and Soft Drink Cup is a Game Changer

13 Nov 2022
Grania Jain

The SuperCup is suitable for all types of events where beer and soft drinks are being served. At the end, the SuperCups can simply be collected and rinsed, and are then ready for the next event. In this way, the SuperCup helps to limit the amount of single use cups being thrown away.

Despite its sturdiness, the SuperCup is at least 30% lighter than the market standard for reusable beer cups. It is made from recyclable PP, making recycling possible and easy after final use where the appropriate systems exist, although it is primarily intended for reuse time and time again.

Solution Concept for Sensitive Substances

11 Nov 2022
Aditya Panwar

The pharmaceutical industry is increasingly using polymer syringes made of COC/COP (cyclo-olefin copolymers/cyclo-olefin polymers) materials. Their advantages over glass containers include break resistance, lower weight, less protein adsorption, and design flexibility. However, they also have certain disadvantages: their barrier properties are reduced and they have no UV and light protection, which may be critical in the case of sensitive substances such as biologics/biosimilars, cell and gene therapies, or mRNA-based vaccines and medications.
