PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
CorShield®VpCI®-146 with Eco-Bio ™ technology is a premium anti-corrosion paper and is used in industry. It is based on Cortec's patented biodegradable technology to prevent volatile phase corrosion and can be composted, which has revolutionized the way metals are protected in closed packaging.

Both sides of CorShield® VpCI®-146 paper offer effective protection for ferrous and non-ferrous metals by eliminating the need to purchase different types of paper for different types of metal. Simply
wrap the items in paper and fold the edges together, gluing as needed to hold the paper in place . VpCI® coating on
the paper is volatile so that it reaches all metal surfaces inside the package and thus provides complete corrosion protection with a very thin, very effective VpCI® layer that does not change the appearance of the product or requires removal before further processing or use.

CorShield® VpCI®-146 paper is made from 100% recycled paper and can be completely recycled / repulped. It is biodegradable and can be composted. It contains 92% of USDA certified content on a biological basis and is a qualified product under the mandatory federal initiative to purchase the USDA BioPreferred® program.
 

The pulp – from a supplier in France – is made from office waste paper, archives and shredded books and has a post-consumer paper percentage of over 90 per cent.

Fibrepak is thin-walled and smooth-sided, as well as scratch-proof, and can be recycled in traditional waste streams along with paper, compostable and biodegradable materials.

The packaging natural and renewable, and customers benefit from a precisely moulded pulp product.

“The advent of thermoformed fibre has given us a great opportunity to combine this latest technology with our vast experience of thermoforming to deliver bespoke, complex and high-quality packaging for a range of customers, including those in cosmetics, fruit and veg, homecare and electronics,” says Anne-Sophie Belamine, European sales director at TEQ.

Fibrepak is a dust-free material, so there is no particle contamination. It is non-toxic, microwavable, static-free, shock-absorbent and stackable. It can also be treated to be moisture-resistant for sustained periods.

Production of Fibrepak at the company’s facility in Poznan, Poland is now underway, with multiple production lines running.

During manufacture, natural fibres are converted into high tolerance thermoformed pulp products using a unique vacuum technique and “cure-in-the-mould” technology. This uses heat and pressure to press and evaporate fluid from the fibres, leaving a completely dry product at the end of the process that is ready for packing.

Fibrepak solutions can be created to a customer’s exact specifications while conforming to ISTA and TUV performance standards. These include clamshells, trays and inserts.

TEQ launched Fibrepak in 2014, with its thermoformed wet pulp derived from locally sourced FSC chain-of-custody certified materials, meaning the pulp used has come from sustainably managed forests.

Thermo Shield is the World's Only Paper based packaging material designed to suppress and control Lithium- ion battery " thermal runaway" by actively and automatically cooling the internal environment of a corrugated shippoing package while limiting Oxygen Supply.

In order to meet the growing need for battery shipment safety, PACT (a US-based packaging and crating company) developed a patented technology called Thermo Shield fire suppressant wrap. This one-of-a-kind solution consists of a lightweight pleated material with a non-toxic moisture vapor application that ensures the safety of lithium-ion products in transport by suppressing the fire and shielding the surrounding environment. It is the first of its kind capable of containing a lithium battery fire within specified corrugated containers for shipments on land, sea, and air.

Thermo Shield offers a unique approach to the transportation of lithium batteries by simultaneously suppressing thermal runaway and propagation at temperatures up to 800°C, and restricting the temperature outside the wrap itself to 60°C.

Proven

Thermo Shield not only meets, but exceeds the proposed SAE G-27 standards for safety in shipping lithium-Ion batteries via land, sea and air – the only product to pass these testing standards to date.

Sustainable

PACT Thermo Shield, and the rest of the Thermal Management System are 100% recyclable!

Affordable

Thermo Shield is a cost-efficient solution both at purchase and in-use — keeping shipping costs down with its lightweight design and reusability.

Apple launched the iPhone 13 series earlier this month and as part of its campaign against harming the environment, the company has redesigned the packaging. Apple will be completely omitting the use of plastic wraps around the boxes when the new phones are shipped.

Apple claimed that removing the layer of plastic over an iPhone box would mean saving “600 metrics tons of plastic” and that the company plans to completely eliminate the use of plastic in all of its product packaging by 2025.

iPhone 13 package sealed with a sticker that integrates a pull tab to keep the box secure until ready to be opened. It appears that the protective label attaches to an inside section of the box top and the outer area of the box bottom.

This solution effectively keeps the box securely closed during transit and acts as a tamper-evident seal.

Apple has applied a similar tear-away system to its first-party accessories for years, with plastic stickers first appearing on small items like cables and later Apple Watch bands. Paper-based labels like the one used on iPhone 13's packaging are typically reserved for larger accessories with two-part rigid boxes.

Apple highlights other environmentally friendly aspects of iPhone 13 on its website, noting the handset uses 100% recycled rare earth elements in magnets, 100% recycled tin in the solder of its main logic board and battery management unit, 100% recycled gold in the plating of the main logic board and camera wire, and upcycled plastic water bottles for the dielectric material that composes iPhone's antenna lines.

To secure packaging while shipping and prevent anyone from opening the box, the lid is kept securely closed with an adhesive paper tab until the owner pulls a tear-off strip to open it. This is all part of Apple’s environmental goals and, specifically, at the company’s new effort to completely remove plastic from all product packaging by 2025.
