本文是为商业包装行业建立包装回收指数(PRI)的第一步。这一指标分为两部分，第一部分是指商业包装建设中“回收材料”所占的百分比。第二部分是指消费者在使用后可以回收的包装的百分比。PRI的目的是构建一个简单的标签，通过考虑总热力学吞吐量来指示商业包装的“绿色”。在弗雷德里克(1995)工作的基础上，这项工作试图通过将熵而不是价格作为效率的衡量标准来纠正社会对产品使用的误解。本文使用来自威斯康星州奇佩瓦瀑布的Kell Container的包装数据来开发上述初始指数。
This paper is a first step toward building a Packaging Recycling Index (PRI) for the commercial packaging industry. This index has two parts; the first part refers to the percentage of "recovered material" in the construction of commercial packages. The second part refers to the percentage of the packaging that may be recycled by the consumer post use. The purpose of the PRI is to construct a simple label that would indicate the "greenness" of commercial packaging by considering total thermodynamic throughput. Building on the work of Frederick (1995) this work attempts to correct societal misunderstandings about product usage by looking at entropy rather than price as a measure of efficiency. This paper uses packaging data from Kell Container in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin to develop the initial index as described above.
