  1. 1. The effects of weight-based waste tariff on recycling quantities

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Umeå universitet/Nationalekonomi

    Författare :Klara Holmgren; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In this paper, I investigate households’ participation in recycling schemes given the pricing policy applied by the municipal waste management organisation. This study aims to provide insights into the effect financial incentive policy has on the recycling quantities of packaging materials. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Formulation and characterisation of novel edible-packaging for fruits and vegetables

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Författare :Lola Sutton; Katerina Papa; [2023]
    Nyckelord :algae; edible packaging; carrageenan; cucumber; REL; oxidative stress; antioxidants; food engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : This master's thesis investigated the potential of algae raw materials, specifically k-carrageenan and to a lesser extent alginate, as film-forming ingredients for the development of a novel edible packaging solutions. The project involved the testing and characterisation of several active ingredients of algal and plant origins both as extracts and as ingredients in films. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Varnishing of Fiber-based Closures

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

    Författare :Nisha Sunil David; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Varnishing; fiber-based closures; water-based spray coating; packaging; repulpability ; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : This research aims to investigate water-based varnishes and technologies to coat fiber-based closures to attain water barrier properties. To ensure recyclability the repulpability of coated and uncoated lids is tested. The research approach is exploratory. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Plastic Waste to Plate : The Journey of Microplastic into Our Food System

    Kandidat-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för design (DE)
