AIP PROVIDES TRAINING FOR 400 PEOPLE DURING PROPAK ASIA BANGKOK – JUNE 12 TO 15

F

ollowing on from the success of the inaugural ProPak Philippines in Manilla in February, where the AIP education team presented forums and training sessions to over 600 attendees, the AIP was invited to the largest packaging tradeshow in the ASEAN region – ProPak Asia in Bangkok in June. Breaking all records ProPak Asia 2019 attracted 52,000 visitors across the four-day event from over 80 countries.

National Food Waste Strategy

GLOBAL PACKAGING FORUM @PROPAK ASIA

Over 380 people from 19 countries attended the inaugural Global Packaging Forum For ProPak Asia 2019 in Bangkok, Thailand organised by the AIP and Informa Markets. 21 speakers from 12 countries discussed regional and global trends in Sustainable Packaging, Biodegradable and Compostable Packaging, 2025 Sustainable Packaging Targets, how the industry can help minimise Food Waste, Save Food Packaging Design, trends in digital printing and flexible packaging, robotics and more.

The Global Packaging Forum was a blend of speakers and panellists discussing regional challenges and trends.

Not surprisingly, the challenges were similar but so were the collective solutions. There were six regional states of the industry reports, from Philippines, Thailand, Italy, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and India. Attendees came from Australia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, England, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Liberia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Pakistan, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, United States and Vietnam.

NEW MEMBERS The AIP would like to welcome the following new Members.

AIP: PEAK PROFESSIONAL BODY FOR PACKAGING EDUCATION & TRAINING IN AUSTRALASIA

AIP PROVIDES TRAINING FOR 400 PEOPLE DURING PROPAK ASIA

The forum was opened by WPO President, Pierre Pienaar FAIP, CPP, who in his keynote address highlighted the current trends, challenges and issues affecting the world of packaging. At the outset, he asked the audience to consider whether they really know their customer's needs and pointed out that they should view the full supply chain under the broad umbrella of 'customer'.

My favourite take out was a quote from our own Joe Foster – “the barrier to innovation is a lack of imagination”.

We are grateful to the six members of the WPO Board who kindly gave of their time and knowledge to speak at the forum including Pierre Pienaar, Chakravarthi AVPS from India, Ariana Susanti from Indonesia, Rohan Victoria from Sri Lanka, Paolo Bunag from The Philippines and Nerida Kelton from ANZ. I am also grateful for the industry associations from across the globe that supported this inaugural event without hesitation – Asian Packaging Federation, Indonesian Packaging Federation, UCIMA, Philippines Institute of Packaging, World Packaging Organisation, TISTR and ACIMGA. As one of the attendees said ”Beautifully organised event, have to say that the GPF was one of the best regular seminars/forums I have attended and hands down the best for an association which looks after individuals.

Makes me proud to say I’m a member of the AIP!” I do wish to single out members of the Philippines Institute of Packaging (PIP) and the Indonesia Packaging Federation(IPF) who not only participated in the forum had members travel from both countries to be part of the half-day training course. The AIP’s presentation at ProPak Philippines was sufficient for them to engage more closely with us in Packaging education. Plans are already underway for a return to ProPak Philippines in 2020 and share in programs with PIP.

INTRODUCTION TO SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING DESIGN TRAINING COURSE

The Institute also ran the new Introduction to Sustainable Packaging Design half-day training course with attendees from Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia.

The core objective of the AIP is to provide packaging education and training to the industry, and this means taking our programs wherever they may be needed. Philippines and Thailand are locations where there is a need for packaging education and on a much larger scale than the audiences here in Australia and New Zealand.

AIP PROVIDES TRAINING FOR 400 PEOPLE DURING PROPAK ASIA During the training course I was also fortunate to present a membership certificate to our latest member Dr Viel Jose, who is based in The Philippines. The key take out was the actions taken by governments in the region to change the way waste packaging is being handled and limiting the amount of waste packaging being sent to them from other countries, which includes Australia.

As Education Coordinator, it was a delight to see the keenness that so many people in the ASEAN region have for the knowledge the AIP has to share. The AIP is respected in these locations and there is an education vacuum that we can fill. Many of the attendees reminded me of the tertiary education that they had undertaken in Australia and how valuable that was to their careers. As such, they regard the Australian education quality in the highest regard.

T he AIP stand at the event was well patronised with a wide variety Ralph Moyle & Dr Viel Jose of interest in our education programs and Diploma in Packaging Technology, Certificate in Packaging and on-line training courses. There was also a pleasing interest in how the AIP can organise events such as the Global Packaging Forum in other regional cities.

The week was full of takeaways and learnings and the AIP looks forward to being a part of ProPak Asia 2020 and bringing an even bigger educational footprint to the event. The 2020 Global Packaging Forum planning is underway and we look forward to making it bigger and better.

Ralph Moyle FAIP, CPP Education Coordinator Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP)

WPO PRESIDENT OPENS INAUGURAL GLOBAL PACKAGING FORUM ProPackAsia 2019 is an important event in the South East Asia Packaging calendar. Certainly not one that is to be missed. This exhibition just gets bigger each year with more exhibitors as well as attendees. The encouraging aspect is that it is widening the net of those coming from outside the immediate area. It was also good to see the packaging component aspect increase this year, always an encouraging sign for me. I was also glad to see so many of the World Packaging Board members present.

This exhibition was again a great opportunity to network, and as always one meets new people that are always valuable additions to one's network of global contacts. I always marvel at the location of ProPackAsia exhibition. BITEC location could not be any easier.

It is on the main train (BTS) line about 20 mins from Bangkok CBD. For the first time the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP), in conjunction with ProPak Asia, launched the Global Packaging Forum and what a great success. Having a wide spectrum of packaging presenters across all sectors from all over the world and more than 380 delegates, this can only bode well for the future of such events.

I found this Forum inspiring from an information gathering perspective and challenging in the sense of questioning whether we are doing the best that we can about the influence that each of us individuals have on the packaging society. Another positive aspect of this forum was the abundance of questions levelled at the speakers during Q and A time.

We need more such events in South East Asia as we strive for sustainable packaging through various forms of education.

It is only through packaging education in its various forms that will ultimately be the solution to packaging waste and also reduce food waste in its path.

ProPack Asia 2019 was a lot of fun and it is the fun that makes us all motivated to do better and achieve greater results. I welcome more next year, let's make it 620 delegates in 2020.

AIP EDUCATES ON TRENDS AND TECH AT GLOBAL FORUM

T

he forum was opened by WPO President, Pierre Pienaar FAIP, CPP, who in his keynote address highlighted the current trends, challenges and issues affecting the world of packaging. At the outset, he asked the audience to consider whether they really know their customer's needs and pointed out that they should view the full supply chain under the broad umbrella of 'customer'.

Sustainability, e-commerce, food waste, packaging waste, smart packaging, and the future factory were among the top talking points at the stand-out Global Packaging Forum co-organised by the Australian Institute of Packaging and UBM at ProPak Asia.

Over 400 delegates registered to attend the forum, which was ably chaired by the AIP's Ralph Moyle.

The forum was opened by WPO president Pierre Pienaar, who in his keynote address highlighted the current trends, challenges and issues impacting the world of packaging. At the outset, he asked the audience to consider whether they really know their customer's needs, and pointed out that they should view the full supply chain under the broad umbrella of 'customer'.

Picking up on a theme that was to feature in most presentations of the day, that of sustainability, he asked, "Are you packing for your customer in such a way that they will be inclined to re-use, recycle and repurpose their packaging? Have you reduced the packaging in the first instance?"

Throughout his talk, whether touching on the digitalisation of retail, the issue of food waste or the importance of designing for sustainability, Pienaar emphasised that packaging is not the problem, it is part of the solution.

And this set the stage for the presentations and discussions that ensued, wherein the challenges of packaging waste, food waste, the unjustified demonisation of plastic, and exciting developments that are shaping the future of packaging both in the factory and on the shelf were unpacked in informative and enlightening detail.

There were six regional state of the industry reports, from Phillipines, Thailand, Italy, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and India, which highlighted packaging challenges and innovation specific to these markets. Plastic waste was obviously a key talking point, but it soon became clear that plastic is still a vital packaging material, and that while alternative materials are being developed and explored, finding 'reuse, recycle and reduce' solutions are imperative.

On the advanced technology front, we heard from ABB's Alan Spreckley how robotics and automation are reshaping the food and beverage industry factory, and from HP's Yoav Lotan how digital printing is unlocking the consumer engagement capability of packaging. Joe Foster of OF Packaging presented on the future of flexible packaging with passion and flair, stating that "the barrier to innovation is a lack of imagination" and showing examples of exciting new Joe Foster of OF Packaging gave an excellent presentation on developments in pouch technology that made it clear the future for flexible packaging. the flexible pouch is in no danger of extinction.

AIP EDUCATES ON TRENDS AND TECH AT GLOBAL FORUM Sustainability, and the journey towards the muchvaunted 2025 targets, was covered in an excellent presentation by MC for the day, Ralph Moyle, as a prelude to a series of talks on the topic by the PMMI's Tom Egan from the US, Tetra Pak Thailand's Supanat Ratanadib, and Steve McCormick from Parkside Flex in Malaysia. All drummed home the point that 'reduce' should be the first focus, that there is no one size fits all solution, and that recycling should be considered the last line of defence. Also, data should be used to inform decisions on material choices.

These points were reiterated to some extent in the final session of the day. Andrew Manly of AIPIA kicked the session off with a whistlestop journey From left: Tim Grant, Nerida Kelton, Surendra Soni, Warwick through some of the latest developments in active Armstrong and Ralph Moyle. and intelligent packaging that are helping drive sustainability and save food waste. Warwick Armstrong of Plantic Technologies spoke about his company's awardwinning plant-based compostable and renewable materials; Tim Grant of Lifecycles explained the value of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and how it's increasingly being adopted by brands to inform packaging choices. Surendra Soni of Sealed Air took delegates through some of the award-winning packaging innovation that is saving food waste, and Nerida Kelton of the AIP shared news on a new Save Food Packaging Consortium project in the Fight Food Waste CRC program.

The day was closed by Pierre Pienaar, who stressed the importance of events like this for sharing information and providing inspiration to move the industry forward in its efforts to make positive change and deliver packaging that will continue to improve the lives of all people.

2019 FOODBANK WAREHOUSE VOLUNTEERING PROGRAM

WHAT:

VIC

The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) is pleased to advise that it will now also be working with Foodbank Victoria and their innovative Warehouse Volunteering Program.

Hunger In Victoria. Hunger is a hidden crisis in Victoria and across Australia.

Foodbank Victoria believes every Victorian deserves healthy food, yet 1 in 10 don’t know where their next meal is coming from and 1 in 7 Victorian children go to school hungry. Each month they source and distribute food to 134,000 Victorians who rely on their food assistance, including over 38,000 children.

They collect surplus food from across Victoria, weigh it and sort it into orders, then distribute it among our community partners to feed hungry Victorians. Their total distribution during 2015-2016 was 10.4 million kilos – or over 18 million meals.

SO HOW CAN THE AIP HELP FOODBANK VICTORIA? Join our AIP Warehouse Volunteering Program; either as an individual, with your staff and colleagues, or even with your families. The AIP will work directly with Foodbank Victoria to book in some days where our volunteers can visit the Yarraville Warehouse and help pick and pack on-line orders and mixed grocery boxes. The day will start with a formal introduction on how Foodbank Victoria works and information on their charity partners.

So how can YOU get involved?

The AIP Foodbank Warehouse Volunteering Program will provide you the opportunity to better understand how Foodbank works and will be a combination of picking and packing of on-line food orders and packing mixed grocery boxes. The on-line orders have been placed by many of the 470 charity partners who look after the thousands of Victorians currently experiencing food insecurity. The mixed groceries items are donated by school students, community groups, clubs and corporate organisations who run food drives to provide the ingredients for the food boxes. Their charity partners are able to order these boxes which they then pass on to those families or individuals who need that extra help with grocery items. Each volunteer would have the opportunity to work in both areas.

SOLPACK 3.0 – SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING ON STEROIDS

H

amburg Germany was the venue for the third SOLPACK event, hosted by Pacoon, providing a wealth of content on sustainable packaging design interspersed with a strong Australian presence.

A couple of personal stories shared by presenters indicated that the European packaging industry has arrived at sustainable packaging as the new normal.

Ansgar Schonlau, MD of Maag said that even as late as 2015 when a client asked for ‘sustainable packaging' he 'ignored the question hoping they weren't really serious!'

Ansgar is now personally committed to helping create a circular economy.

A key feature of SOLPACK was a program curation that merged high level discussions about circular economy principles and pathways with technical presentations that stretched my engineer's brain – thank goodness the German translators were so technically adept although my guffaws were oddly delayed in responding to the punch lines!

Working in conjunction with the AIP, Pacoon arranged a display of some of the 2019 PIDA winners including Lewis Road Creamery’s 100% rPET bottle produced by PACT Group and Lewis Road Creamery, Impact International, Punchbowl Packaging, Plantic, SPC, Danone, PACT Group and Mix Limited, Don KRC and Metalprint, Ranpack, Stay tray, Sealed Air, and Flavour Creations.

This prominent display, along with presentations by Brooke Donnelly, CEO Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation and I ensured the European delegates no longer just see Australia and New Zealand as great holiday destinations - our packaging industry should be extraordinarily proud of the leadership it is showing in delivering sustainable packaging outcomes.

The first day of the conference covered plastics and the second day covered paper. Brooke's excellent presentation brought many in the room to ask why Germany 'hasn't got an APCO' to bring all of the packaging supply chain together to work on collaborative actions.

SOLPACK 3.0 – SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING ON STEROIDS

EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) schemes appear to result in a compliance mindset, like completing your tax return, whereas in contrast, over 200 businesses have voluntarily joined APCO’s Packaging Recycling Label Program in just 12 months; we should not underestimate how well we are placed to achieve the 2025 targets and in the process, show other nations how it can be done.

Paul Klymenko, CEO of Planet Ark attended Day 2 at SOLPACK having attended the World Circular Economy Forum in Helsinki. Paul had the opportunity at our stand to provide delegates with a sneak preview of the latest version of PREP, which integrates the ARL artwork and includes a reporting dashboard to allow companies to track their progress towards the 2025 recyclability goal.

Whilst we may be ahead in some areas, we are of course behind in others. In Europe the paper industry is represented by many vocal institutions willing to broadcast the needs and problems experienced by their member organisations. As a result, pack designers are more aware of the technical aspects they need to consider, such as the choice of adhesives and inks to minimise the degradation of recovered fibres. Mr Andreas Faul from INGEDE said “There is plenty of recovered fibres suitable for brown boxes but we need to design out issues so more white fibres can be recovered".

A key SOLPACK takeaway for me was the value of conversations around the details involved in creating a circular economy. By its nature, this aspirational goal will require cooperation along the whole supply chain and an increase in transparency. Yes, parts of this change will be disruptive and so we need to be mindful of the pain that will be experienced in some quarters. Conversations, ahead of arguments, should allow the time and space for everyone to adapt to this new world of sustainable packaging.

Plastics derived from renewable sources is gaining traction. In the 2019 PIDAs we saw Impact International collect awards for their hand cream tubes made from sugar cane and at SOLPACK we learned from Superseven about their use of renewably sourced plastics for flexible pouches. A key feature of this category is that the polymers are generally derived from waste products and are the same as standard polymers so they can be designed to be recovered in the kerbside or drop-off recycling systems and be manufactured as carbon neutral – difficult to argue this approach can’t be made more sustainable although they could be used to create a reusable pack!

Anthony Peyton is the Director of PREP Design, which developed the PREP platform to help the packaging industry design recyclable packaging for the Australian, New Zealand and UK markets. PREP is available to members of APCO and the results underpin the Australasian Recycling Label on-pack claims. The AIP is now running training workshops on the ARL and PREP to assist the industry representatives to learn more about this program, which is driving progress toward the 2025 National Packaging Targets.

THE CLEAN ENERGY REVOLUTION IN PACKAGING

SMART BUSINESSES ARE NOW REDUCING THEIR OPERATING COSTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AT THE SAME TIME

By Choice Energy

The packaging industry faces multiple challenges inclusive of the use of alternative packaging material, minimising food waste and reducing plastic usage. In Australia, businesses have been caught in the middle of an energy crisis, and have struggled to keep operational costs down in a country that has the world’s most expensive energy. According to the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission, many manufacturers have complained that rising energy prices have hampered their international competitiveness, adversely affecting their long-term growth. Of equal concern to these businesses, is incorporating sustainable practices in their operations model, beyond their products.

As a Gold partner of the Australian Institute of Packaging, energy management firm Choice Energy is continually working with members to regain control over their energy costs and reduce their environmental footprint.

Use less energy from the grid Rooftop solar is often the perfect solution for manufacturing businesses looking to reduce their costs and carbon footprint. Solar generation, which is effectively free power, can offset the majority of a business’ daytime power usage.

It does not interrupt the flow of operations either, making it an ideal energy efficient solution for packaging companies.

The system can be paid for without a budget through a variety of funding options. Utilising government funding, along with the savings on electricity bills, can enable businesses to have neutral or even positive cash flows from day one.

Solar energy is clean and renewable but with a flooded market of cheap solar providers, business owners need to ensure they select a reputable solar installer which guarantees the energy generation and covers the cost if the system isn’t performing as predicted.

AIP member, Recyclable Packaging is a food and packaging manufacturer based in Victoria and a high energy user. As a result of company expansion and advanced manufacturing conducted on site, Recyclable Packaging engaged Choice Energy to see if they could reduce their impact through solar.

It was identified that a 165kW system would allow Recyclable Packaging to generate its own energy, offsetting close to 215 MWh of annual energy consumption and resulting in savings of close to $70,000 per year.

Pay less for the grid energy you use An energy broker will review a business’ current energy usage, and determine whether there is a better retail rate available based on their energy use. They’ll negotiate on the business’ behalf, present them with the best available offers which the business owner can review and choose to take up.

As an energy firm, Choice Energy was also able to negotiate a new retail rate for Recyclable Packaging saving them $155,255 over four years, an annual saving of $38,814.

Many businesses believe that network charges are simply passthrough charges. The truth is, however, three out of ten commercial businesses are on the wrong network tariff due to their usage patterns reflecting a different demand profile.

Getting this wrong is costly as this can often be the biggest part of the energy bill.

supplying only the power the business requires. However, a poor power factor is indicative of an imbalance in the apparent power the business is being supplied. A simple power factor correction unit will ensure that a business will receive extra power, as required.

“Choice Energy provided Recyclable Packaging with the most competitive professional advice of all those who tendered for the business... The project had some difficulties which were all handled by them without any further stress put on me. We were so impressed by their candour and the result, and have since contracted with Choice for a 4-year supply agreement taking us into 2023 at a very acceptable price.”

CAN YOU HELP THE AIP MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

A

s you may be aware the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) have spent their Christmas Party every year for the last eight years with a twist. The Members pack Foodbank hampers for people who need some assistance from their community at Christmas time.

In 2018 over 200 people packed 1400 hampers for Foodbank to provide to those in need during the holiday season. The hampers included 1000 family hampers and 300 ladies packs. The total valuing over $120,000 worth of items that were either donated, or the funds raised for, by the Association and the wider industry.

Over the last eight years, the team has packed 8000 hampers to the value of close to $900,000 for people in need and they look forward to packing even more hampers in 2019.

All of industry is invited to donate items to the hampers, funds or attend and also participate on Friday the 6th of December at Eagle Farm Racetrack.

With this, it is that time of year again where the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) are starting to develop the plans for the items that will be in the family hamper and the women’s hampers for our annual Foodbank Hamper program. This year we have plans to also add a children’s back-to-school hamper which will include stationary items.

SO HOW CAN YOUR BUSINESS HELP US?

Your company can decide whether they would like to donate items to one, or both of the hampers with the quantities being 1000x for the Family Hamper and 300x for the Ladies Hamper packs. Any product donations - even if less than these quantities mentioned - are greatly appreciated as we use financial donations to help make up the difference.

OR

You could encourage your staff and colleagues to help you collect one of the nominated items on our wish list during the next 5 months, purchase the items, or donate funds towards the items. As above any product donations - even if less than these quantities mentioned - are greatly appreciated by your staff.

OR

You can simply provide volunteers on the actual packing day.

Please find below a video of the actual packing day. http://aipack.com.au/about-us/helping-foodbank/

We also have the ability to accept the physical goods from now as we have a warehouse in Queensland that kindly provides us with space for our hamper items.

We do hope that you join us in 2019 for this wonderful program and to help us meet the $1 million mark in donations.

Should you have any questions or wish to discuss this further please email info@aipack.com.au

THINKING ON THE BOX: DESIGN ON-PACK INFORMATION ATTRIBUTES TO INFLUENCE CONSUMERS’ FOOD WASTE BEHAVIOUR The AIP are pleased to advise that PhD student Wanjun Chu has undertaken his first paper and presentation on date-labelling. The Institute would like to thank all of the AIP members who assisted with the interviews and research for this project.

O

n-pack date-related labelling is one of the most direct information carriers used by food industry to communicate product shelf-life attributes to consumers. However, it has also been identified as one of the major factors that contributes to consumer food waste problems.

Taking a design for sustainable behaviour perspective, the present study aims to systematically explore the interplay between on-pack date labelling and consumer food waste behaviour. A comprehensive literature review, in-depth interviews and design workshops with 12 general consumers and 10 food industry practitioners regarding the design and use of date labelling communication system and its relation to food waste were conducted in the study.

Through applying an activity theoretical lens to analyse the literature and empirical results, we found that consumers’ interaction with date labels and storage information in their food consumption activity is highly influenced by their shifting motivations, the changing sociocultural contexts, and the dynamic interplay between the use of internal sensory perceptions and external on-pack date labels. Based on these insights, we identified 7 design opportunities and implications to improve the current on-pack date labelling communication system.

Following that, we developed an AR-based mobile digital prototype which mediates consumers’ interaction with on-pack information attributes in their food consumption activity systems. This paper presents the preliminary analytical results of the literature review, interviews and design workshops with a brief introduction to the prototype concept design and development...
