Sidel&rsquos pet packaging expertise in octeville france helps biohub research project reach successful conclusionsidel&rsquos international centre of excellence for pet packaging development and blowing solutions in octeville, france, recently made an important contribution to sustainability through an innovative research project in plantbased performance plastics. Sidel consulted with its pet packaging expertise in the biohub® programme as the selected representative for the beverage industry.this open innovation programme has enabled the development and production of new chemicals using renewable agriculture materials, such as cereals which are a sustainable substitute for wellknown fossilbased chemicals.

The new biobased forms of polyester have many possible enduser applications, including packaging in which sidel was recognised for its pet packaging competence. The programme was undertaken by international french biorefining group, roquette, a global leader in the processing of plantbased raw materials, and subsidised by bpifrance, the french agency for industrial innovation.luc desoutter, sidel&rsquos special project director, comments &ldquosidel has a longstanding relationship with roquette and sidel&rsquos r&dpackaging experts in octeville in particular contributed with important and innovative pet packaging expertise in this breakthrough project.

I am convinced that the innovative materials resulting from the project will soon be adding value to the already substantial benefits that pet offers as a liquid packaging solution, in terms of both performance and sustainability. Satisfying market needs and providing an alternative to established raw materials, they will be of great interest and benefit to the beverage packaging industry and many others.&rdquopet packaging expertise at octeville france proves usefulsidel was one of several, select private sector and public partners in the biohub programme, which was originally launched in 2006.

The sidel expertise at octeville brought the company&rsquos many years&rsquo experience in the field of beverage and liquid food packaging and in the industrial production of pet packaging to the project. The company&rsquos solid technological expertise in complete line solutions that starts with the blow moulding process in bottling of beverages, oilsand other liquids was particularly useful to the project, as was its viewpoint as an end user of the potential new biobased performance plastics within the beverage industry.vincent le guen, sidel&rsquos vice president for packaging, says &ldquoour understanding of biobased polymers through our participation in this open innovation programme brings great value to sidel&rsquos pet packaging expertise in octeville.

It enables us to continue to stay at the forefront of the liquid packaging industry and to be ready to meet the future needs of beverage producers. The close relationships we have with our partners throughout the pet value chain, and also across other industries, is really valuable to sidel. This helps ensure we stay in contact with the latest industry developments and continue to improve our packaging solutions for beverage producers.&rdquomany beverages, food items and other consumer products are currently marketed and packaged in bottles or containers made from pet, the most common thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family. It makes the ideal beverage packaging material because it is safe, strong, transparent, light and versatile.

 Customers appreciate it for its safety compared to traditional materials. It is resealable, shatterresistant and, importantly, can be recycled again and again.the successful completion of the biohub project and sidel&39s integral role within it can lead to the production of new biobased forms of polyester demonstrating excellent transparency and uv resistance and a good resistance to high temperatures. Leading names within the beverage industry, such as cocacola, pepsico, danone and nestlé, are looking into the possibility of bottles made from fully renewable resources and are said to be already assessing the most promising options to incorporate these nextgeneration materials into their production lines. For example, cocacola recently unveiled plantbottle&trade, a pet bottle based on plant materials.for more information about the benefits of pet packaging, read more on sidel.compet.

Schreiner medipharm is now offering a suite of additional innovative functions for its new autoinjector labels that enhance ease of use and safety of these injection aids. A temperature indicator, uv protection for the inspection window, detachable label parts, counterfeit protection features and an abrasionresistant field for subsequent variable marking can additionally be integrated.

Each label is customized for the respective injection system. The temperature indicator used by schreiner medipharm delivers a new valueadded benefit. By producing a reversible color shift, it indicates that a defined temperature has been reached.

The special ink may change color at a specific refrigeration temperature and the coloration will disappear once room temperature is reached. This provides the user with an indication of the correct storage or dispensing temperature. To protect sensitive pharmaceuticals from uv rays, the transparent window that allows the content and fill level to be checked is reliably covered. For this purpose, the label features a twolayered design.

The top layer provides uv protection for the window underneath which is integrated into the label. To check the content, the user opens the label by means of a starter tab and then simply closes it again. In addition, detachable label parts remind the patient to regularly check whether or not the drug inside the container is still okay. The label parts can also be used for documentation purposes in the patient&rsquos medical file or medication diary.

A text field coated with a special varnish allows subsequent abrasionresistant laser printing of variable data. Integrated security features such as the special lasersecure pigment can be used to confirm the authenticity of the pen with the help of a reader.

Additional protection against counterfeiting is provided via a security ink showing a color shift depending on the viewing angle. &ldquothe new label characteristics enhance ease of use and patient safety of autoinjectors and can be combined individually. As a development partner, we welcome the opportunity to work together with manufacturers to customize special functions to match their specific requirements,&rdquo says ann l. Merchant, global president of schreiner medipharm.

Thursday may 24th, 2012 marks the beginning of a new era in global manufacturing and distribution, where the environmental aspects of packaging throughout the supply and recycle chain will already be taken into account in the packaging design process. At 14.20 hrs seoul time on that day, the final texts of the iso world standards on packaging and the environment were released for translation and publication in october later this year.

 The decision was taken unanimously and with great enthousiasm in the plenary meeting of iso committee tc122sc4 packaging and environment, which took place at the coex conference centre in the south korean capital seoul. Previous meetings were held in atlanta, tokyo, beijing and stockholm where the work started in 2009. The standards address optimization of the packaging system, reuse, material recycling, energy recovery and composting, as well as the way these aspects of each package are related to each other before and after its use.

Every responsible retailer, manufacturer and packaging supplier can implement the standards in their management system and thereby take responsibility for their specific part in the sustainable innovation of packages, packaged products, retail and recycling. Background information not for publication the new standards will be available by october 2012 via the national standardisation institutes which together constitute the worldwide international standardization organisation iso.

Innovia films&rsquo compostable, cellulosebased material, natureflex&trade is helping a new zealand coffee roaster meet its commitment to being socially and environmentally responsible. Caffe prima, based in christchurch, has chosen to use &39econic&39® coffee bags.

 The bags were specifically developed by new zealand converter, convex plastics, using natureflex&trade renewable and compostable films in their construction. &ldquocoffee is a very demanding product to package because maintaining freshness and taste is absolutely paramount. Packs have to be puncture and impact resistant and offer high barrier and good seal integrity to keep oxygen out and aroma in. 

Coupled with this, caffe prima, was looking for a solution that was kind to the environment. Natureflex&trade ticked all the boxes as far as we were concerned,&rdquo said andrew sheerin, technical manager, convex plastics. A laminate construction was produced using three flexible films that are certified compostable and renewable &ndash a reverse printed clear natureflex&trade highbarrier metallised natureflex&trade starch based biopolymer. &ldquoachieving success with partners such as convex means that our natureflex&trade films are well positioned to provide solutions to converters and brand owners.

Especially those seeking to meet consumer demand for packaging made from renewable resources,&rdquo said robin dearnley, australia and new zealand sales manager for innovia films. Natureflex&trade films are certified to meet the american astm d6400, european en13432 and australian as4736 standards for compostable packaging. 

The woodpulp is sourced from managed plantations from referenced suppliers operating good forestry principals fsc or equivalent. The renewable biobased content of natureflex&trade films is typically 95 by weight of material according to astm d6866. Natureflex&trade has been confirmed as suitable for emerging &39waste to energy&39 techniques such as anaerobic digestion, aiding the diversion of organic wastes from landfill. Natureflex&trade was an obvious solution for use in this application as the film begins life as a natural product &ndash wood and breaks down at the end of its lifecycle in a home compost bin or industrial compost environment within a matter of weeks.

Catalytic aeration optima pharma drastically reduced isolator decontamination cycles with the use of catalytic aeration, mp is able to reduce the duration of the aeration phase in isolators by more than 50. The aeration phase is the most time consuming process in the decontamination of isolators used for pharmaceutical filling and closing equipment.

Decontamination with vhp vaporous hydrogen pyroxide regularly takes place prior to production. Existing mp isolators can also benefit from this with a simple upgrade. The system, for which a patent has been applied, will have its&rsquo public debut at achema 2012 at optima pharma hall 3.0, booth a73 isolators are considered to be the safest method for guaranteeing a sterile filling environment in pharmaceutical production. Decontamination of isolators with vaporous h2o2 takes place in 3 process steps, which begins with the conditioning of the temperature and humidity.

Next follows the sterilization phase, in which a vaporized h2o2 fog kills off any viable microbes. Even in low concentrations,

h2o2 can be detrimental to pharmaceutical products, so the final phase, aeration with fresh air, must be complete. Without the use of catalytic aeration, and depending on the allowable residual concentrations usually

1ppm &ndash 10ppb largely dependent on the product, the average time required for aeration is between 3 and 12 hours. Using catalytic aeration, the aeration phase can be shortened by more than 50. The unique construction and decontamination process of mp isolators allows the use of catalytic aeration. The microbial killrate of the h2o2 during decontamination is not influenced by the catalytic converter. The time advantage of catalytic aeration is of particular benefit the smaller the residual concentration to be achieved, the better the efficiency. A further advantage is that the catalytic converters are also effective during the production phase.

As experience has shown, h2o2 diffuses into plastic parts such as format parts during the vhp phase and adsorbs over time. Even after the aeration phase and during production, an increase in the residual h2o2 concentration can occur. This increase in concentration is only slowly flushed out with time.

The catalytic aeration employed by mp is effective during the production phase and prevents increases in residual h2o2 concentration because the isolator continuously recirculates air through the catalytic converter. A pilot project at a pharmaceutical company is being used to demonstrate catalytic aeration in practice. Further units will be installed shortly, and mp has also carried out retrofit projects. For over 2 years, mp also has performed tests with catalytic conversion on a research isolator. The efficiency of the catalytic converters remained at 100, and degeneration is not expected. Mp is part of optima pharma schwäbisch hall.

Mp isolators are used in pharmaceutical turnkey projects on filling, closing equipment as well as loading and unloading of freeze drying units. Furthermore, the entire upstream and downstream process, including weighing isolators and sterility test isolators are part of the product range.
