When a bag of canned milk that looks and feels like a plastic bag is standing in front of you, it is not only the uniqueness of the bag type that attracts your attention, but also because there is such a line of eye-catching words on the bag: Sustainable Packaging .
When the reporter visited the office of Eklin Co., Ltd. in Beijing to interview the inventor of sustainable packaging, Ok Russen, he filled the table with various kinds of bags. As Sen said, these may seem ordinary. The bag is actually different, it is made of calcium carbonate as the main raw material, is environmentally friendly products.
Inspired by egg shells In 1975, the inspiration of Oak Russen’s invention of this product came from egg shells. However, it took him 25 years to convert this inspiration into today's commercial food packaging.
Oak Ruth has long been engaged in research and development in the plastics field. The purpose of the initial development of the product was to use industrial parts near the engine of the car, because at that time the temperature of the plastic was not good and the speed of the car could not be improved. The egg shells inspired Oak Russen: 95% of the eggshell is calcium carbonate. If we can develop a new material based on calcium carbonate, the performance of our products will be greatly improved. So Oak Russin uses the composition of the egg shell as a model, uses a large amount of polyolefin to fill the calcium carbonate, and after years of experimental research, he has finally developed a brand new “Eklin†material—the product contains up to 70% calcium carbonate. Temperature reached 190 °C. In the 1980s, this new material was used in the automotive industry. Since then, through continuous technological improvements, this environmentally friendly material was used in food packaging in the 1990s. At present, this material has been used by Ecolean in many complete packaging solutions, such as liquid food packaging, wrapping packaging film and heat sealable cover. The three packaging systems meet the growing consumer demand for environmentally friendly packaging.
The natural calcium carbonate is the most important part of the earth's crust. There is a very high purity calcium carbonate below 10 meters. It is an alkaline substance with a pH of 10, which can neutralize the water and soil caused by acid rain. Acidity, therefore, calcium carbonate is a very important material for the survival of the earth. Ruo Sen said, "Eklin" material is based on the most widely distributed nature of calcium carbonate, the use of the adhesive is also non-toxic and harmless to the human body and the environment, in the production process will not produce pollution, and other packaging Materials, such as paper, aluminum foil, plastics, and glass, need to be chemically produced to cause damage to the environment. The biggest feature of "Eklin" materials is that they can be fully degraded in 3 to 6 months under sunlight (ultraviolet rays). Okrug said that he saw a lot of fast food bins on both sides of the Beijing-Shanghai railway. This is unsightly. If these snack boxes use "Eklin" materials, there will be no such problems. He said that they had done experiments and put the "Eklin" snack box under the same environmental conditions. After 3 months, the snack box became brittle like egg shells, and finally it was broken into powder and returned to the soil. Return to nature. Oak Rüssen called this packaging material, which is natural, natural and environmentally friendly, and modern society more environmentally sustainable.
Small-scale energy consumption in production can be recycled. At the request of the United Nations, Ecolean has compared product life cycles with several academic institutions in the United Kingdom and Switzerland: the production of 1 kilogram of paper requires 43 kilograms of water, and it cannot be recycled at all; 1 kilogram of PS requires 5 kilograms of water; 1 kilogram of sustainable packaging material only consumes 1 kilogram of water; materials used to package 1 liter of liquid; and sustainable bags are only half of the carton or plastic bag, that is, the carton The weight is 30 grams, the weight of the Ecolean package is 15 grams, and the resources used are very small; moreover, this kind of sustainable packaging has no memory and the volume of garbage generated is also small. This comparison has caused many national leaders to be shocked.
Oak Rusen said that the consumption of Chinese fast food boxes is very large, and one-time use is very wasteful. At present, Ecolean is currently conducting tests in the sustainable snack box market that can be used 30 to 50 times in China. The snack box can be sterilized by high temperature and resistant to steam at 140°C to 150°C; it can be washed with a dishwasher; it can be used Gamma ray disinfection; degradation under ultraviolet irradiation for 3 months, but as long as it does not directly irradiate UV rays, it can be used for 4 to 5 years.
Stable performance and strong applicability The sustainable material is very pleasant because it can be made as hard as plastic, it can be made as soft as a plastic bag, and its degradation rate can be controlled according to customer's requirements. The proportion of photometric agent is determined. After many years of experiments, this sustainable packaging material has very good temperature stability, can withstand -40°C to -50°C low temperature and 150°C to 160°C high temperature, and its strength will not change; Imagine all the avant-garde packaging materials should have the characteristics: tall and straight, tough, easy to form, flexible, economical and low environmental load; its resistance to light, water, oxygen resistance is better than other materials, can be on all packaging equipment Used to replace plastic, paper and/or aluminum foil.
Oak Rusen emphasized that sustainable packaging materials are particularly suitable for the pasteurization of liquid foods such as milk and fruit juices. Because special products such as health foods contain active substances that are not suitable for ultra-high temperature treatment, but they require a longer shelf life. Generally, the shelf life of pasteurized products after packaging materials can only reach about 10 days, and it is difficult to meet the requirements. If pasteurized with sustainable packaging, the shelf life can reach 35 days. Oak Rusen said that low-temperature sterilization has a small loss of vitamins, and the international demand for foods is getting higher and higher. Therefore, pasteurization is now increasing. In Northern Europe, ultra-high temperature sterilization has basically disappeared. Product. Surveys worldwide show that the ideal shelf life of milk is 20 days in the case of cold chain.
High-quality packaging enhances product value Sustainable packaging is manufactured at a temperature of 190°C. The bag is completely closed, so it is completely sterile prior to filling. The sealed bag design allows the interior of the bag to be exposed to the external environment only at the moment of filling. Ensures a very good hygienic performance; sustainable bags do not absorb water, unlike cartons, which are prone to hygroscopicity and fibers are prone to bacterial growth. In addition, the monomers are removed during the production of the packaging material, so that even when heated using a microwave oven, there is no odor, and the original flavor of the food can be preserved without being damaged by the taste of the packaging material.
Nowadays, sustainable packaging materials are widely used in the packaging of various foods in the world: pasteurized milk, fruit juices, edible fats, yoghurts, edible oils, nutritious drinks, sweets, fast foods...the material can be processed into almost all In the form of imagination, "Eklin" provides the complete concept from the convenience bag to the bottle, from the jar to the box and the packaging film.
Development Goal Based on long-term Ecolean Co., Ltd. has two plants in Sweden, one specializing in the production of liquid food packaging and the other in the production of solid food packaging, mainly to the largest dairy company in Northern Europe and the second largest food company in the world, the United Food of the United States. The company supplies package materials. After thorough investigation and market testing, in May this year, Ecolean's first factory outside Sweden was built in China. Okrug said that China and the surrounding countries have almost 2 billion people in the region. This is a huge market. Moreover, China has very good quality calcium carbonate and PP. Therefore, investing in China is an important issue for us. development strategy. Today we are still small businesses, but our development is fast and our market share is increasing every day. According to our global growth rate, it is expected to become the market leader in 5-7 years. Our plan is long-term.
The rapid development of the food industry and the rapid increase in people’s living standards have caused the packaging industry to require hundreds of tons of disposable packaging products such as plastics, paper, and metals each year. This not only wastes a lot of resources, but also affects the environment during the manufacturing process. Cause serious pollution. Oak Rusen said that China emphasizes sustainable development and encourages the development of clean and renewable energy sources. Our products are sustainable and in line with China's development strategy. Aoki Rusen stated that Ecolean Co., Ltd. is willing to make positive contributions to China's goal of improving the environment and promoting sustainable development.
