Ackaging waste declining rapidly &ndash eu data showsa new report on the analysis of official eu data on packaging shows that over the past eleven years theamount of packaging waste going to final disposal has fallen by 57. Higher recycling levels and otherforms of packaging waste recovery are largely the reasons says europen, the european organization forpackaging and the environment. In 2008 in the eu 27 member states just over 17 million tonnes ofpackaging were sent for final disposal. To put this into context, it is estimated that 89 million tonnes of foodare currently wasted in the eu 27, more than five times the amount of packaging waste.the analysis of data from 1998 to 2008 by europen also shows that growth in packaging waste is clearlydecoupling from growth in gdp, an objective of the eu waste strategy. In the eleven year period studied,despite an ageing population and a trend throughout europe towards smaller households all of which ledto the purchase of a greater number of packaged goods the amount of packaging placed on the marketexcluding wood packaging rose by only 10 and the amount of packaging waste disposed of alsoexcluding wood actually fell by 57 see note 1.the report packaging and packaging waste statistics in europe 19982008 contradicts widely held&ldquothe datathe 1994 directive on packaging and packaging waste is clearly one of the most&ldquoclearly, this success of the packaging value chain can be seen as an example of bestsaid julian carroll, adding, &ldquoin the.www.europen.be.1.landfill or burned without energy recovery.for the purposes of packaging waste, &ldquodisposal&rdquo generally means that the material was either put in2.waste require member states to report on the amount of packaging placed on the market under theheading &ldquopackaging waste generated&rdquo. This term is therefore used to describe packaging placed onthe market in all official eu documents. This in turn means that official reports often state that &ldquotheamount of packaging waste is increasing&rdquo, whereas the true position is that slightly more packagingis coming onto the market each year, but less and less of it ends up as waste.the eu commission decisions setting out the format for reporting on packaging and packaging3.packaging made from this material was optional until 2003 and since then reports from memberstates on wood packaging have shown major inconsistencies from yeartoyear.

Interpack 2011 piepenbrock presents first sustainability reportosnabrück, 05122011 piepenbrock group defends its pioneering role when it comes to sustainability. At the first day of worldleading trade fair interpack 2011 in düsseldorf, piepenbrock emphasised strikingly that sustainability is more than just an empty phrase but rather an essential guiding principle throughout the whole company group.

As the largest exhibition for the folding carton industry for 2011, sinofoldingcarton 2011 has long been anticipated by trade professionals.. The event will take place from july 6 to july 8 at the china international exhibition center in beijing. As preparations for this year&rsquos show reach their climax, sinofoldingcarton 2011 continues to differentiate itself from other industry events and attract a wide amount of interest. The organizers of sinofoldingcarton, reed exhibitions, have focused, this year, on blending the showcasing of highend folding carton processing equipment with technical exchange seminars and trade opportunities, under one roof. This threepronged approach has drawn a wide range of renowned suppliers from the cigarette packaging industry, including the likes of shanghai yawa printing machinery, horauf shanghai, shanghai yoco printing machinery, masterwork machinery and sts machinery.  These companies will showcase their latest technologies, processing equipment concepts for cigarette packaging and printing. At sinofoldingcarton 2011, companies, suppliers and industry experts will join together to discuss new trends in local and international cigarette packaging and printing.  They will also assess the power of gravure printing in china. China is the biggest cigarette market in the world. As cigarette factories continue to debut new products to increase their market share, the market for packaging cigarettes in china has undergone something of an unprecedented boom. Indeed, some local cigarette products are packaged to a far higher standard than their international counterparts.  Cigarette packaging and printing processing has played a leading role in folding carton packaging and printing. Many new materials, new processing and technologies were first trialed on cigarette packaging products and because of their success, we popular adopted for the packaging of folding carton products.   With constant improvements in cigarette packaging and printing technologies, as well as in processing methods, cigarette factories demand a higher standard of printing quality on the cigarette box labels. Since february 26, 2008 when the new limits were imposed on the number of volatile agents in packaging paper and cigarette cartons came into effect. This introduced a subtle change into the packaging of cigarettes as water ink and water borne materials will gradually become integral to green printing as cigarette packaging develops. The question of how to deal with stricter environmental regulations and compete in an increasingly fierce cigarette packing industry is one that will be answered at sinofoldingcarton 2011.  By giving visitors a sharp insight into  the latest processing solutions, technologies and equipment, as well as by providing information on raw and auxiliary materials that are sustainable and, most importantly, compliant with international standards. Sinofoldingcarton 2011 will bring you right uptodate with the latest local and international trends in cigarette packaging and printing.  Onsite you will be able to find solutions that are suitable for your company and which can become integral to accelerating the development of your business. 

As china becomes more open, and the commercial vibrancy of its northern region increases, many multinationals are setting up headquarters or r&d centers in beijing. In the 1980s, the pearl river delta stimulated the first wave of growth in the country&rsquos economy.  In the 1990s, it was the yangtze river delta with the second wave. Today, the bohai economic rim, with beijing at its center, is ushering in the third wave of growth for china&rsquos economy.  The bohai economic rim includes the city of tianjin, as well as the provinces of hebei, liaoning and shandong. Boasting advanced industries and densely populated cities, the region attracts high levels of foreign investment. Currently, more than 80 multinationals have set up r&d institutions in china, over 40 of them in beijing.  There are over 10,000 foreigninvested enterprises in tianjin.  Of these, 200 are fortune 500 companies. Dalian, with nearly 8,000 foreigninvested enterprises, is one of the most foreign capitalintensive regions in northeast china. As the national economic center moves northwards, the folding carton packaging industry chain is migrating in the same direction.  This is why the packaging and printing industry in the bohai economic rim has such tremendous development potential. In the fastgrowing electronics manufacturing sector, for example, industry leaders like motorola, hewlettpackard, panasonic, microsoft and fujitsu already have r&d centers in beijing.   Many international joint ventures like motorola and samsung, already have a presence in the tianjin economic development area, a large production scale and plans for future expansion.  Electronic component manufacturing giant foxconn is undergoing strategic transfer towards hebei and shandong. In the foreseeable future, the northern market will become a popular investment destination. Although the pearl river delta region has the most developed printing and packaging industry in china, this area is virtually saturated so there is a pressing need to expand the market outward. Every year, demand for packaging and printing, especially highend printing, in north china, grows.  These orders are predominantly filled in south china as the region has a betterdeveloped printing manufacturing industry.  Following the completion of the 11th fiveyear plan, the northern printing and packaging industry is now in a new development phase. With beijing at its center, the surrounding bohai rim economic region&rsquos printing output value accounts for 19.68 of the national output value.  This represents a great gain on the yangtze and pearl river deltas.  According to the annual beijing area printing industry statistics from 2009, the 1,610 independent legal printing companies and 34 nonindependent legal printing companies in beijing have assets worth a combined total of rmb 295.95 billion and business revenue of rmb 19.65 billion. Of these, 38 companies have an annual output value exceeding rmb 100 million.  A further 260 companies have a value of over rmb 10 million.  With the establishment of powerful printing and packaging companies in northern china, beijing daxing economic zone has also greatly benefitted from the region&rsquos development.  In 2009, the sales value of daxing&rsquos printing industry was rmb 7.88 billion, approximately 40 of the entire city&rsquos sales, and representing the most developed printing area in beijing. A large number of food and beverage packaging enterprises are concentrated in the shunyi and huairou districts of north beijing. That year, the combined value of these two districts&rsquo printing sales was rmb 3.2 billion. As beijing continues its rapid development, the medicine, food, tourism, electronics and chemical industries will provide the folding carton trade with much stimulus and incentive for growth. From july 6 to 8, sinofoldingcarton 2011 will take place at the china international exhibition center in beijing.  The choice of venue reflects the growing influence of the north in china&rsquos printing and packaging landscape, and its expanding development demands.  Geared towards northern markets, the event will be strongly represented by participants from three northeastern provinces, as well as those from developing areas in the northwest. Numerous high profile folding carton equipment suppliers and consumables manufacturers will featured their newest packaging and printing solutions at this industrydefining event. Folding carton equipment suppliers and consumables manufacturers who are serious about penetrating the north china market will find information and opportunities in abundance at sinofoldingcarton 2011. 

Due to the globalization of today&rsquos economy, every business is part of the economic chain. That being so, providers and consumers are equally responsible for protecting resources and the environment.recently, lowcarbon concepts have gained greatly in popularity all over the world. Power consumption,  pollution and emissions all need to be reduced using lowcarbon, green economic development models. As this need becomes an increasingly amplified part of the mainstream dialog, and achieving sustainable economic development becomes a more pressing ambition how to promote energy efficiency reduce emissions and cutconsumption becomes a more pressing issue to resolve. From july 6 to july 8, sinofoldingcarton 2011 will bring together equipment manufacturers, consumables suppliers and folding carton producers with professionals from across the folding carton trade for three days of nonstop business. Following the financial crisis, china has recovered to show strong economic development. Preliminary estimates by the national bureau of statistics show that china&rsquos gdp will reachrmb 17.28 trillion usd 2.59 trillion in the first half of 2011. Foreign trade, too, has bounced back strongly.  China&rsquos total exports in the first half of this year have so far totaled usd 705.1 billion.   These changes have been accompanied by the northward migration of the national economic center, including the folding carton packaging industry chain. Taking place in beijing, sinofoldingcarton 2011 will provide access to china&rsquos northern market around the bohai rim region, in line with prevailing market demand. The folding carton industry in that area has great potential for further development, with over 1,000 packaging printing factories in beijing and tianjin alone. This is the new hub of economic development inchina, following in the footsteps of the pearl and yangtze river delta regions. Furthermore, with its proximity to japan, south korea, and parts of russia, the area is the ideal axis forchina&rsquos northeast asia regional partnerships. To meet the growing demand stimulated by market growth, manufacturers have to increase the efficiency and range of their production. Sinofoldingcarton 2011 will bring together over 300 wellknown local and international manufacturers and suppliers to present their latest technologies and processes.  All the solutions on show have been specifically designed to satisfy the requirements of packaging and printing companies. Exhibits include folding carton processing equipment, hard boxes, plastic glue boxes and paper bags. Bobst, masterwork, shanghai yawa, hongjing, tokyo wenhong, yaoke, yuanheng will use sinofoldingcarton 2011 as a platform via which to debut new products. &ldquoafter participating in the last exhibition, many suppliers expressed their delight with the event and pledged to come back again this year&rdquo, said alex wang, who leads the sinofoldingcarton project team for reed exhibitions.  &ldquoright now the exhibitor invitation process is on the home strait.  We&rsquove received a high number of reservations for booths already and space is selling out at a rate beyond even our own optimistic expectations.&rdquo helping buyers realize ambitions for a green industry chaincurrently, lowcarbon concepts are popular all over the world. Adopting green printing processes is the only way to become, or remain, a major force in the global printing industry.china, with strong ambitions to do just that, is adopting green printing practices with great enthusiasm. With this in mind, carton manufacturers are keen to source energysaving, environment friendly equipment. Sinofoldingcarton 2011 will be dedicated to highlighting green solutions for manufacturers and buyers.  The organizers, reed exhibitions, will welcome dozens of high profile exhibitors. Many of them are energy saving, waste reduction, low carbon companies who want to unveil their latest energy saving innovations onsite.  Together, the participation of top suppliers and the display of the latest manufacturing innovation will ensure that sinofoldingcarton 2011 is a comprehensive and effective trade and sourcing platform. A selection of the broad range of exhibits visitors can expect to see onsite l         qinhua, aikyu and meinong will display screen printing equipmentl         finishing process equipment suppliers who produce diecutting machines, folder gluers, hot stamping machines, laminating machines and paper mounting machines, like bobst, xuheng, masterwork, sts, yaoke, yawa, tokyo wenhong, hongjing, chengyuan, dragon, wutai, shengtian and yongshun, will also be there.l         henkel, nikawa, huakang, delong, rocky, comoadhesives will display hot melt glue and jelly, the most suitable material for the folding carton industry in the lowcarbon era. Companies like juli, xinao, haosheng, sheng yuan, jialida, huawei, yueming, yonghua, dai&rsquos, hongming, michael hörauf and lishunyuan are also among the exhibitors to sinofoldingcarton 2011. They will provide efficient and practical choices for manufacturers looking to upgrade equipment.  

One of the most outstanding shows on the folding carton industry&rsquos calendar next year, sinofoldingcarton 2011, will take place from july 6 to july 8 at the china international exhibition center in beijing. Organized by reed exhibitions, the 2011 event will bring together a large number of the top folding carton equipment manufacturers and consumables suppliers to showcase their full range of folding carton processing equipment.  The exhibition will also be a highly effective platform on which exhibitors and buyers can exchange ideas and conduct trade. Thanks to the internet, electronic media is now an integral part of our daytoday lives and the traditional printing industry market has shrunk.  Book and magazine printing orders have also declined. The lowering of printing prices and rising labor costs have proved challenging for the book and magazine printing industries, whose profits were already low. On the other hand, the fortunes of the packaging printing industry are on the rise.  The packaging industry&rsquos total revenue in 2009 topped usd 1 trillion. In 2010 this figure is expected to increase to usd 1.2 trillion.  China has long been considered a key global manufacturer. This will remain the case for at least the next two to three decades, as the country undergoes extensive industrialization and urbanization. As an important part of china&rsquos manufacturing industry, the prospects for china&rsquos packaging industry are bright. In light of this optimism, an increasing number of packaging and printing factories are focused on sinofoldingcarton.  Following the global financial crisis, china&rsquos economy is in excellent shape. According to preliminary estimates from the national bureau of statistics, china&rsquos gross domestic product in the first half of 2010 was rmb 17.28 trillion usd 2.59 trillion. As foreign trade recovered, the total exports in the first half of 2010 were usd 705.1 billion. These changes have been accompanied by the northward migration of the national economy center, including the folding carton packaging industry chain.  Taking place in beijing, sinofoldingcarton 2011 will provide access to china&rsquos northern market around the bohai rim region, in line with prevailing market demands. The folding carton industry in the bohai rim region has great potential for further development, with over 1,000 packaging printing factories in beijing and tianjin alone. This is the new hub of economic development in china, following in the footsteps of the pearl river and yangtze river delta regions. Furthermore, with its proximity to japan, south korea, and parts of russia, the area is the ideal axis for china&rsquos northeast asia regional partnerships. With the increase in exports and in the demands of the domestic market, the number of folding carton orders is gradually growing. According to statistics from harbin customs, 130 million pairs of shoes were exported from heilongjiang province in the first half of this year. This represents a 10 increase on 2009. Rising exports of shoes mean an increase in the orders for shoeboxes.  Shandong&rsquos beer industry is another that is important to the national economy. Currently, china&rsquos per capita beer consumption is 30.2 l per annum, on par with the global average. Experts predict that the beer industry will continue to increase by an average of about 35 over the next five years. The corresponding increase in demand for beer packaging will boost demand for packaging manufacturing equipment.  Northeast china has long been an important pharmaceutical base. According to statistics from shenyang customs, pharmaceutical exports from shenyang for the first seven months of 2010 were valued at usd 160 million.  This represents an increase of 9 from 2009.  From this, we can deduce that the demand for pill boxes is huge.  Data from china tobacco shows that cigarette sales reached 25.2 million boxes in the first half of 2010, a 3.5 yearonyear increase. Meanwhile, firstclass cigarette sales in beijing, shandong, and heilongjiang have also risen significantly, surpassing the national average. An increase in tobacco sales means an increase in the demand for cigarette boxes. This means that market demand for folding carton equipment will continue to rise.  Against the background of these upward industry trends, sinofoldingcarton 2011 will once again bring together folding carton equipment suppliers, consumables producers, and folding carton manufacturers at the folding carton industry&rsquos premier annual event. Across an exhibition area spanning 20,000 sqm, there will be a full range of processing equipment on display.  This will include equipment for folding cartons, hard boxes, plastic boxes and paper bags.  Over 300 exhibitors will showcase their advanced technologies and enhance their corporate profiles onsite. Reed exhibitions, organizers of sinofoldingcarton 2011, say that after the 2010 edition of the show, many suppliers showed a keen interest in exhibiting at the 2011 event. The exhibitor signup process is now in full swing. Applications are plenty and booth sales have been brisk. With reed&rsquos efficient organization and the promise of magnificent displays of the latest equipment, this exhibition will surely mark the launch of the folding carton equipment market&rsquos recovery in 2011.

The packaging industry and aid agencies should form a new public &ndash private partnership to develop innovative packaging solutions to reduce the waste of food in developing countries, according to julian carroll, managing director of europen, the european organization for packaging and the environment.speaking at the save food congress, part of the packaging industry&rsquos biggest trade fair interpack, mr carroll highlighted the misconceptions about packaging and the lack of understanding by many policymakers of the valuable role packaging can play in reducing waste, and therefore promoting food availability. Referring to packaging as &ldquothe cinderella of the food world,&rdquo mr carroll instead painted a picture of packaging playing a central role in answering the question &lsquohow do we feed the nine billion&rdquo.sprawling food wastecarroll directly confronted critiques of the industry by making the case for packaging&rsquos role in reducing food waste and food loss, which according to the swedish institute for food and biotechnology amounts to 2.3 billion tonnes of food a year. In india, for example, postharvest food loss of fruits and vegetables can be as high as 50, or 80 million tonnes, which is almost as high as the total production of fruit and vegetables in the european union. The discarding of edible food throughout the eu amounts to 11 of total food production in europe, or 89 million tonnes. Carroll explained &ldquolet me put these numbers into perspective. In 2008, the total amount of food the world gave as food aid to poor countries amounted to 6.3 million tonnes. This is less than a tenth of the amount of food uk consumers alone threw away each year.&rdquopackaging as development assistancewith the global population expected to rise to over nine billion people by 2050 and agricultural experts predicting a need to increase agricultural production by as much as 70 to feed the world, carroll lamented the fact that packaging has never been considered by policymakers as part of the equation to address food security issues. Therefore carroll called on the packaging industry to join forces with aid agencies, policymakers, farmers and food processors to create a public private partnership that aims to further build packaging infrastructure in developing countries to reduce the amount of food wasted postharvest, at market and among consumers. This will enable farmers to profit more from their harvest and increase the overallfood basket of food in secure regions around the world. &ldquolet&rsquos go on and work together to explore the formation of a public private partnership between aid agencies and the packaging industry aimed at delivering that help to build packaging infrastructure. Itwould be a winwin situation for both parties,&rdquo said carroll in the conclusion of his speech.the rationale behind this approach is clear. Firstly, there are a range of very inexpensive packaging options that can help protect produce and dramatically reduce food loss, such as crates that protect fragile fruits and vegetables that can be used over and over again. Secondly, in the longterm, as consumers in developing and emerging economies become wealthier, they will be able to afford more packaged foods, which will help reduce food waste even more.in his speech, carroll likened the role packaging can play in addressing food security to the ability of sewage systems to improve overall health. Proper sewage has done more to extend life expectancy than all the miracles of modern medicine. Likewise, decent packaging is likely to make more food available to more people than expensive biotechnology.savings in the north to help the south&ldquowhat is the point in devoting so much effort to produce more food, if that food rots or is thrown away why put millions of acres under the plough just to waste the resulting crop&rdquo carroll asked the audience. Carroll also explained that by bringing to market new packaging innovations to reduce food waste in rich countries, these countries will need to import less food and could free up additional food to provide as food aid.

 &Ldquoin the future oystar will concentrate on packaging machines for the food, dairy, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industries,&rdquo emphasized oystar ceo tom graf after signing the contract with bosch. &ldquothis is where we have our particular expertise and core competences.&rdquo oystar has a strong position on the international market in the key segments of ffsfs cup fillers, cartoning and repackaging machines as well as tube and bag fillers. Oystar aims to expand this leading position even further. In this connection graf made reference to &ldquoprogram one 600&rdquo, in which oystar formulated its strategic goals up to the year 2015. This concept provides for an increase in sales, in particular through newly developed machines. Oystar already plans to present a whole series of new developments at the forthcoming interpack &ndash the largest trade exhibition in the world &ndash including several special developments for newly industrialized countries. In addition, graf attaches great importance to development of the company&rsquos service products and does not rule out growth through acquisitions. For bosch, on the other hand, the purchase of hüttlin and manesty represents a sensible strategic complement to its portfolio. These companies develop, manufacture and sell processing units for the pharmaceuticals industry. Hüttlin, with its principal place of business in schopfheim, manufactures specialpurpose installations for drying and granulation. Manesty, with headquarters in knowsley near liverpool, specializes in tablet compressing and coating machines. &ldquoboth companies are important components in the development of pharmaceutical process technology at bosch,&rdquo stressed friedbert klefenz, chairman of the divisional board of management at bosch packaging technology. &ldquothey support the strategic focus of the division by completing the upstream value adding chain.&rdquo last year hüttlin gmbh and manesty generated overall sales of eur 49 million. Hüttlin employs eighty staff in germany, while manesty has a workforce of 110 personnel in england. The lion&rsquos share, or approximately seventy percent, of the sales are obtained in europe. The companies agreed not to disclose the purchase price. The sales agreements are still subject to approval by the competent cartel authorities.
