After a government''s order last year that mandated BIS standard for tinplate and tin free steel products import, a few exporters from other countries have applied for registration and approval of their plant, but due to COVID-19 conditions all such applications have been put on hold by Bureau of Indian Standards, it added.

The implementation of the order has now been extended up to July 17, 2021.

"This has resulted in virtual zero import of these essential materials, thereby resulting in a shortage of tinplate containers.

With customers increasingly adopting laser marking solutions for more of their product identification and packaging applications, the SmartLase F250 is the ideal solution for modern fast pace production lines. The SLF250 is the first new product launched as a result of Markem-Imaje’s acquisition of laser coding and marking solutions specialist Solaris Laser.

The team, led by professor Eran Sharon and Ido Levin of the Racah Institute of Physics, faculty of science, is pursuing commercialization of this manufacturing technique, which could reduce packaging and in turn carbon dioxide emissions for producers.

“Our shape-shifting pasta technology has the potential to transform the manufacturing, transportation and storage process,” Mr. Sharon said. “The potential of this technology is immense, and I look forward to seeing it outside of the lab ‘wowing’ consumers and providing a positive impact to consumer and business alike.”

Jambusar (Gujarat) [India], October 27 (ANI): German Ambassador to India, Walter J Lindner, visited the SCHOTT factory site in Jambusar, Gujarat, on Wednesday and said that the glass manufactured by the company is responsible for almost 95 per cent of COVID-19 vaccine packaging in India.

The innovation ensures accuracy in calculations, granularity with data and most importantly, carbon transparency for businesses.

Ready to enable informed decisions in terms of how materials are sourced, packaging is manufactured, stored and delivered, the software can calculate packaging CO2 emissions, for many thousands of SKU’s therefore reducing the time and cost of a conventional Life Cycle Analysis.

The company’s plans were confirmed earlier this year, when it announced it would be restructuring some of its American sites, which also involved the closure of a further manufacturing facility based in Atlanta, Georgia, shifting production to other locations in the country.

As the business previously explained, the move – which the company explained to Confectionery Production impacting around 600 staff in New Jersey at its Nabisco site that had operated for decades, comes as the business seeks to re-focus its biscuit manufacturing to meet changing consumer demands.
