Pulp Fibre Capping and Closure Solution for Pulp Fibre Bottles

该项目将研究开发一种可回收、可生物降解的包装解决方案原型，为塑料包装提供替代品。最初的重点将是用模塑纸浆替代容器中的PET。该项目建立在迄今为止大量研究工作的基础上，这些研究工作为容器的制造及其涂层提供了解决方案，以容纳液体。为了在商业上可行，整个产品需要可回收/可堆肥，因此需要努力建立可持续的封闭解决方案和相关的制造工艺，以可比的成本满足快速消费品行业所需的生产量，产品精度和质量标准。NRL将在整个项目中与主要行业利益相关者合作，以确保设计出市场可接受的解决方案。

This project will undertake research into the development of a prototype recyclable, biodegradable packaging solution which provides an alternative to plastic packaging. Focus initially will be on replacement of PET in containers with moulded paper pulp. The project builds on considerable research work to date that has established a solution for the manufacture of containers and for their coating in order to hold liquids. To be commercially viable, the whole product needs to be recyclable/compostable, hence effort is required to establish a sustainable closure solution and associated manufacturing process that can meet the production volume, product accuracy and quality standards required by the FMCG sector at a comparable cost. NRL will work throughout the project with key industry stakeholders to ensure a market acceptable solution is devised.
