Demystifying the Circular Economy for Packaging


 As mentioned on PackagingStrategies.com. With help of Tetrapak, a snapshot is developed which can help us understand - Demystifying the Circular Economy for Packaging.

Packaging, often regarded as what gets thrown out or recycled once a product is used, presents a particularly interesting opportunity for circular economy innovation. The opportunities for business are bountiful, and most brands are employing at least some of the principles of the circular economy in their operations today. These principles are actually sound business practices, including doing more with less.

Offset Printing

A form of printing technology using an intermediate carrier to transfer image from original carrier (such as a plate) to the  substrate . Offset Lithography In this process the image + non image area coexist on same plane. Types of lithograpgu  - di-litho and waterless lithography. Types of offset lithography - sheetfed and web-offset lithography. Offset printing is widely used in modern printing presses. It is described as when 'positive image' on plate is inked and transferred (offset) from plate to a rubber blanket. Blanket captures mirror image of plate.  The blanket moves the image to substrate making the image. In Offset printing, it is based on fact that oil and water do not mix. The offset process employs a planographic plate mounted over press cylinder.  Offset presses makes use of 3 cylinders: Plate, blanket and impression cylinder.
