The construction industry has a significant amount of waste accumulated on every job site. This study utilizes research on the types of materials that make up waste and the waste management strategies behind it. Waste materials range from building materials, such as lumber and steel, to packaging materials, like plastic and cardboard. This paper co...

In this work, a total of 72 commercial table olive packages obtained from different international markets were analysed to determine their fungal biodiversity. Viable fungal counts ranged from the detection threshold (
Meat and meat products are often consumed in our daily diet, providing essential nutrients. Contamination by chemical hazards, including bisphenol A (BPA) in meat products, is a concern and is continuously monitored. BPA is well-known for its endocrine-disrupting properties, which may cause potential toxicological effects on reproductive, nervous, ...

In the current research, titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles using ethylene ethyl acrylate as compatibilizer are incorporated into low-density polyethylene (LDPE) to generate active nanocomposite films (ANFs) using melt blowing technique. The film properties such as colour, thickness, mechanical and thermal properties, surfac...
The “Sustainable Packaging Logistics” (SPL) approach seeks sustainable integration of the combined “packaging-product-supply chain” system orientated to increase competitiveness. However, characterizing which changes make it possible to guide such design in each company and supply chain is an aspect that has not been covered in the literature from ...

Food-processing and pharmaceutical industries share a lot of stability issues against the same physical, chemical, and microbiological phenomena. They also share some solutions to improve the stability as the use of preservatives and packaging. Ecological concerns lead to the development of tremendous innovations in food. Some of these innovations ...

Good product packaging is one of the fundamental determinants of the quality of a product. Packaging can protect a product, but it can also be used as an indicator so that consumers know the quality level and shelf life of the packaged products. Along with the development of modern packaging science and technology, it is developing into intelligent...

Tobacco manufacturers design and marketed products with appealing sensory characteristics to drive product uptake and continued use. We assessed smokers' and non-smokers' cognitive, affective, and sensory responses to Camel Snus (CS) and Nicotine gum (NG) to gauge future intentions to use. In a single laboratory session, 348 participants (including...
