Britain will introduce biodegradable plastic packaging next month. The plastic packaging is designed to be discarded like orange peel.

The United States has already begun using 100% biodegradable products and has appointed its supplier TIPA to announce some British brand partnerships in the coming months.

Advanced bioplastic materials

In June 2010, Daphna Nissenbaum, a software engineer and CEO, and Tal Neuman, senior vice president of industrial designers and products, set up TIPA in Israel. The company currently has a large R&D team, a bioplastics manufacturing team, a sales and marketing department, and a subsidiary sales office in the United States.

Products include co-extruded high-transparent films for fresh food, coffee, baked products, cereal crushed products, and transparent or non-transparent sealed plastic bags and standing pouches for granola bars, potato chips, snacks, cereals, dried foods, These products have long been sold in the EU and the United States.

Nissenbaum told Bakery and Snacks that TIPA’s vision is to expect soft plastic packaging to have the same end-of-life properties as organic waste, and still have the same consumer and brand expectations for including fresh produce, frozen and frozen foods, and dairy products. The durability and shelf life of ordinary plastic foods.

"Flexible packaging is not made of pure plastic polymer, but made by mixing several materials, which makes it almost impossible to recycle." She said.

“Even though some of the materials used for flexible packaging are biodegradable, the very blending of the materials makes the entire package unsuitable for recycling or composting.”

“The vision behind TIPA is to solve the challenge of creating sustainable flexible packaging by creating advanced bioplastic materials. To do this, our company includes chemical and bioplastic specialists, industrial experts and food engineers.”

"We have created a new era of packaging, packaging food in a natural way."

Nissenbaum added that although bioplastic materials have been around for a long time, they cannot be used successfully in existing production lines, so they can only be used in agriculture, garbage bags or simple applications.

"The task is complicated and full of difficulties"

She said that these materials are often easier to break, more sensitive to heat and humidity, and have poor permeability, yellow color, and lack of transparency.

"The task of developing a biodegradable package from scratch is complex and full of difficulties, not only regulation, but also the lack of existing technology and logistics and business development." Nissenbaum said.

TIPA builds its technology on three steps;

Resin Series - Use existing raw materials in a new way, modify and control their properties, and compound them into resin blends to become new materials with advanced properties.

Membrane Series - The second step is the definition of a co-extruded film of a unique structure (based on a new formulation) to create a film with mechanical, optical and barrier properties similar to traditional plastics such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and the like. It has developed several types of films for stand-alone applications, barrier properties, sealing properties, and printable films for food packaging applications.

Laminate Series - The third step is to design high-quality laminates such as those used in the industry today. The high barrier transparent or coated plates that can be printed and applied in existing machines produce a series of applications such as handbags, zipper bags and the like. The final packaging material can replace conventional traditional laminates for dried and greasy foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, bread platters, snacks, and more.

“It took a lot of development time, but today TIPA has developed the first fully compostable eco-friendly barrier film and laminate with the necessary moisture and oxygen barrier properties to meet a range of food shelf life standards. ”

“This breakthrough makes it possible to replace non-recyclable flexible packaging with organic recyclable/compostable packaging. TIPA packaging can not only be transferred from landfills and incineration centers, but also as an added value, they can be used as energy for production. (such as biogas facilities) or land fertiliser (composting facilities)."

When co-founders Nissenbaum and Neuman started work together six years ago, they wanted to design biodegradable water bags (TIPA means “water droplets” in Hebrew). They hired bioplastics experts to find materials suitable for beverage bags, but six months later they were told that there was no suitable biodegradable material on the market.

Has the same properties as traditional plastics

They believe that if TIPA's biodegradable flexible packaging is to succeed, it must have all the characteristics of traditional plastics in terms of transparency, tensile strength and shelf life. It must also be completely compostable.

"The basic idea is actually an orange peel. A package that will be like an orange peel. A biodegradable package, we can throw it into an organic trash can after eating or drinking its contents," Newman said. .

“We created a flexible food package that, on the one hand, looks and feels like ordinary plastic with the same properties, and on the other hand it becomes bio-degradable after consumption into fertilizer that can be used again for soil fertilization.”

"The food industry implements complex, high-quality machine standards, which makes it difficult to come up with a compostable and effective package that supports both ecological and functional requirements. This is a technical challenge we have resolved."

On June 30th, Nissenbaum will give a speech entitled "Technology to Solve the Problems of Flexible Packaging Waste" at the seminar of Viva Technology in Paris.

PCB Separator

1. The cutting speed of the board divider can be set to high or low.

2. Maximum travel of knife wheel: 600mm.

3. Knife wheel micro-adjustment: 0-2mm.

4. Adjustable lower board knife: 0-50mm.
5. Backstop depth adjustable range: 0-150mm, maximum PCB board cutting width: 150mm, maximum PCB board cutting length: 400mm
6. Thickness: 0.2-3.2mm, maximum thickness between V-slots: 0.25-2.0mm
7. Connecting multiple pieces of PCB board in the solder, folding often hurt the line, or will be broken electronic parts, the use of the board splitter can avoid damage, and can improve efficiency and quality.
8. With the walking knife type board splitting machine to divide, can completely reduce the stress, to prevent the cracking of solder joints and parts breakage.
9. Using the upper circular knife under the flat knife method, PCB board to the board splitting machine under the flat knife, switch a step, the upper circular knife moving across to the set point, the PCB board will be cut off and divided, cut off without stripping, the cut is flat.
10. Slitter knife travel can be set at will with the length of the PCB board forward stopping fixed point, stopping fixed point for 0-100-200-300-400mm.
11. Cutter back with cut-off length stopper, according to the different width of the PCB board to do the adjustment, for no V-CUT slot PCB board can also easily cut the board, accurate not oblique cut.
12. Can fine-tune the thickness of various PCB boards, to solve the problem of PCB board V-CUT slot depth.
