Potential Routes to the Sustainability of the Food Packaging Industry

Plastic packaging of food products has a significant impact on the sustainability industry and trade. The article presents selected problems surrounding production plastic for storage distribution that might cause disruptions in implementation sustainable production. An important question regards extent to which produces this complies with requirements. present work consists an investigation observed manufacturing company located Poland, is part global corporation. waste management was analyzed compared requirements closed loop economy. quantities raw material processed defined period were analyzed. During period, 0.05% monthly non-recyclable waste. quality seems be responsible majority wastes. Therefore, role SAP (Systems Applications Products) use lower batches indicated. On other hand, possibility converting wastes into liquid or gaseous fuels suggested. In addition, paper investigates efficiency machine film bag line three-shift system. Process losses reliability indicators such as overall equipment (OEE) its components, mean time between failures (MTBF), failure repair (MTTR) determined. OEE values each change individually exceeded 80%.
