Transition to Aseptic Packaging Solutions **Aseptic packaging** is gaining traction in the packaging industry, particularly noted in recent publications such as #Packaging Digest. This shift is driven by the demand for sustainable and efficient packaging solutions, with many popular brands transitioning from traditional hot fill methods to aseptic packaging. Aseptic packaging involves sterilizing the product and the packaging material separately before filling and sealing them in a sterile environment. This process ensures that the final product is free from microorganisms and can be stored at ambient temperatures. Advantages of Aseptic Packaging 1. Extended Shelf Life:   - Products can remain shelf-stable without refrigeration for longer periods, reducing food waste and energy consumption. 2. Sustainability:   - Often uses lighter materials compared to traditional packaging, reducing transportation costs and carbon footprint.   - Many aseptic packages are recyclable. 3. Efficiency:   - Can handle a variety of liquid and semi-liquid products, enhancing production versatility. Offered Free by: #Husky Technologies With support from industry leaders like Husky Technologies, companies can effectively adopt aseptic packaging solutions and enhance their product offerings.

Plastic bottles are grabbing the headlines again, with more research linking them to health conditions.    A groundbreaking study from the Department of Medicine at Danube Private University Austria (DPU) reveals that drinking bottled water can raise blood pressure due to microplastics entering the bloodstream.   This research adds to the thousands of peer-reviewed studies proving the links between plastic and human health. From cancer to infertility, the list of diseases associated with plastic and its chemicals goes on.   Instead of focusing on the recyclability of plastic bottles with new bottle caps, policymakers need to prioritise cutting plastic pollution at the source.   With a million plastic drinking bottles purchased every minute, it is essential we demand actions that equate to the urgency of the issue.    Policymakers must reimagine our relationship with plastic, listen to the science and rise to the challenge.

https://lnkd.in/d8-chTxn The global microplastic pollution issue, as a result of the indispensable usage of microplastics in building materials, packaged food, medical products and consumer goods, poses significant health problems for the population. These small particles can penetrate intact cell barriers in the intestines and alveoli, thereby entering the bloodstream. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the effects of reduced plastic consumption on blood pressure. Eight adult and healthy participants abstained from consuming commercially produced bottled beverages and restricted their primary fluid intake to tap water. Blood pressure was measured on both sides before, after 14 days and after 28 to 30 days of this partial plastic diet. Women exhibit a significant change in systolic blood pressure on the right arm after 2 and 4 weeks, while the left arm demonstrates no significant changes in blood pressure. On the contrary, in men, systolic blood pressure values on both arms show no significant alterations, attributable to the high variability across the three participants. Moreover, no significant differences in systolic blood pressure were observed when analysing the entire cohort. Significant findings are evident only at the two-week mark for diastolic blood pressure for all participants in both arms. When considering diastolic blood pressure separately for women and men, men again show no significant changes in blood pressure on either arm. However, women exhibit a significant decrease in diastolic blood pressure on the left arm after 2 weeks and a statistically significant decline in diastolic blood pressure on the right arm after both 2 and 4 weeks. The results of the study suggest, for the first time, that a reduction in plastic use could potentially lower blood pressure, probably due to the reduced volume of plastic particles in the bloodstream. To confirm this hypothesis, a larger sample of male and female participants must be examined, ideally with the monitoring of plastic concentration in the blood.
