Food packaging solutions need to be redesigned more sustainable, but determining which solution is ‘more optimal’ a very difficult task when considering the entire food product value chain. Previous papers paved way toward sustainable definition, it far from being commonly accepted or well usable in broad systems domain, further results uninformed choices for made by all stakeholders chain: producers, distributors, practitioners and consumers. Therefore, this work aims first at giving...
Deinking is an important part of paper recycling that involves the removal ink particles from fibres. This industrial process so fibres can be recirculated back into production, which enables better sustainability as fewer fresh are needed. In this study, we examined five different alternative fibre materials agricultural residues and processes for pilot production papers. Papers containing invasive plants (Japanese knotweed), dedicated crops (miscanthus, acacia), (tomato stems), waste (jute...
Sustainability demands circular and material solutions with an emphasis on using local resources. Using alternative fibers from invasive plants agro-residue promotes production in smaller paper mills, which have additional benefits for the environment (protecting species, reducing agro-industrial waste). In electrophotography printing, toner adhesion is a vital quality parameter showing prints' resistance against different mechanical stress, leading to particle detachment. This study tested...
