Spain decided to take a new tax for plastic products

Recently, the Spanish legislature has approved a new tax on disposable, non-reusable plastic packaging, which will take effect from January 1, 2023. The new tax is wide-ranging, levied at 0.45 euros per kilogram of non-recyclable plastic packaging, and is expected to generate around 724 million euros a year for the government.


The design of this rate is similar to the new plastic packaging tax approved in Italy, which is also expected to come into effect on January 1, 2023.

However, there are bigger differences compared to the plastic packaging tax that has been in effect in the UK since 1 April 2022.

The new tax will affect most industrial and consumer goods businesses: applies to the manufacture, import and living area purchases of non-recyclable plastic packaging that end up in the Spanish market; covers (empty) packaging material itself and transactions in packaging products; applies to primary, Secondary and tertiary packaging.


RISING FORTUNE PACKAGING has been in the paper packaging field including designing, manufacturing and sales for more than 20 years.

According to the statistics of research export M Garside, In 2018, each person in US used 5 pcs of plastic bag per day, and the entire USA had used more than 580 million pcs of plastic bag per year, the total production of polypropylene in USA reached 7.7million tons. In order to deal with the environmental damage caused by random discarding plastic waste, The United States has strengthened the recycling and treatment of plastic waste on the one hand, on another hand has introduced the bans and charging regulations on varies types of plastic.


In addition to upgrading the disposal of waste plastics and increasing recycling to solve the possible pollution caused by plastics, the United States has also formulated bans and charging regulations for various types of plastics from the use end, and has also taken many measures. So far, it is estimated that there are currently about 200 cities in the United States, including many cities such as Seattle, Portland, Oregon, Washington DC, San Francisco, and California, that have banned the use of disposable plastic bags or required taxes.


As the replacement of disposable plastic packaging, the degradable plastic and compostable paper packaging will be widely used in various of fields, like paper packaging with PLA coating is a perfect food packaging solution and friendly to our planet.

Uncover the paper production process How to turn wood into wood pulp?

The wood used for making wood pulp is mostly wood waste with little other utilization value except for specially cultivated tree species. For example, the leftover materials left over from the cutting of plates and bars, the defective wood with too many twists and turns to be unusable, the intermediate wood cut down during the regular cutting and trimming of forests, and the construction waste materials taken out during the demolition of ancient wooden buildings, etc.

Generally speaking, coniferous trees such as pine and broad-leaved trees such as eucalyptus or Acacia are mainly used to produce wood pulp. The fiber of coniferous tree species is long, which is suitable for making products with high strength requirements such as paper shopping bags or envelopes, while the fiber of broad-leaved tree species is short, so the surface finish is good, which is suitable for making printing paper and household paper.

The wood used for pulping must be cut and crushed to make small wood chips, and then boiled with sodium hydroxide solution. The so-called chemical method refers to this process, which can separate cellulose and lignin. Lignin, like glue, binds cellulose together and is the main material to improve the strength of wood. The separated wood fiber is then filtered and bleached to make the wood pulp we often hear of.

For the convenience of transportation, wood pulp is not the same viscous material as slurry as we thought, but the dried and compressed fiber mass. The finished wood pulp looks like cardboard or felt, stacked together. Most paper-making factories do not produce wood pulp by themselves, but purchase from upstream manufacturers. Generally, only large paper-making enterprises will build a full set of paper-making production lines from wood pulp to paper products. More details from https://www.risingfortunepackaging.com/.

What Makes the Best Kids Backpack for School?

How can we choose the most suitable backpack for a school-going child? There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as every child has unique needs. However, we can evaluate the suitability of a backpack for children from several key aspects, such as durability, functionality, comfort, and appearance. While it may be impossible to select the perfect backpack from hundreds of options, if these key aspects meet or exceed expectations, then the backpack, even if not perfect, will be satisfactory.

 

Durability: Children's backpacks face greater challenges than those of adults, as their active nature exposes the backpacks to more complex usage environments. Therefore, durability is the most fundamental requirement for a backpack. Polyester and nylon are the most common materials used for backpacks. They are sturdy, durable, windproof, waterproof, and easy to clean, making them the preferred materials for student backpacks. If you are searching for the most durable student backpack, look for one reinforced at the seams and stress points to withstand daily wear and tear.

Polyester and nylon fabric

Functionality: The backpack should have ample storage space and be waterproof and easy to clean. The storage space should not be too small, as children often need to carry textbooks for class as well as sports equipment. Additionally, there should be a pocket for a water bottle to address children's hydration needs. Considering that many children bring lunch to school, a well-designed waterproof preschool backpack should have an independent lunch pocket that can both insulate and resist oil stains. This lunch pocket is typically made with Thermal Insulation Aluminum Mold, which not only holds lunch boxes but also allows for storing wet clothes after sports activities. Cleaning it is as simple as wiping it with a wet wipe. This design provides strong functionality while being easy to maintain.

Waterproofing is a must, as children cannot take care of a non-waterproof backpack as adults would, especially during rainy days, when they themselves need care.

 

Comfort: Children's bones are still developing, and carrying heavy loads may affect their skeletal growth. Therefore, a backpack with spine protection is essential to ensure comfort when carrying the load. Many reputable book bag manufacturers focus on designing ergonomic features such as padded shoulder straps, breathable back panels, and adjustable weight distribution to improve comfort.

Appearance: Children's aesthetic preferences often lean towards bright and bold colors. It is also important to incorporate reflective strips into the design of the backpack. Safety comes first. A backpack with reflective strips is just passing, but if the reflective strips are cleverly integrated into the overall design, serving both aesthetic and functional purposes, then it can truly be considered excellent.

 

From Plastic Bottles to Backpacks A Win-Win for the Environment and Textile Industry

White pollution has become a concern for all industries, as it affects everyone's living environment. Plastic bottles have been used in various aspects of life and production since their inception, from ubiquitous water bottles to various containers used in chemical and medical industries. It can be affirmed that human life cannot be separated from plastic bottles. However, the molecular structure of plastic bottles is very stable, which means that they typically take 500-1000 years to fully degrade in the natural environment. Therefore, the harm of discarded plastic bottles to the environment is enormous.

 

The Origin of Plastic Bottles

In 1941, British scientists invented polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is now the main material for plastic bottles. They discovered that PET is a lightweight and sturdy material. However, no one thought of using this new material for producing packaging containers until 1973 when an American scientist (Nathaniel Wyeth) invented the technology to make PET bottles and applied for a patent. These bottles are durable, transparent, lightweight, and cost much less than glass. Soon, this type of plastic bottle replaced the glass bottles of that time.

The Harm of Plastic Bottles

Not long after the widespread use of plastic bottles, scientists noticed that plastic bottles began to accumulate in large quantities, especially in the oceans where a large number of plastic bottles were found. In 1980, scientists began to study the decomposition characteristics of plastic bottles, but they found that this material is difficult to decompose in the natural environment and usually takes hundreds of years to decompose in the natural environment. This made them start to recognize the harm of plastic bottles.

In 1997, American marine researcher Charles Moore discovered the Great Pacific Garbage Patch - a massive pollution area mainly composed of plastic waste, with an astonishing area of 16 million square kilometers, almost the size of the entire continent of Africa! This led many countries to establish plastic recycling systems at that time.

The Harm of Plastic Bottles

The Birth of RPET

In 1993, Patagonia in the United States launched products made from recycled polyester fibers (RPET), pioneering the transformation from plastic recycling to textile production.

 

The Process of Making RPET

The main steps in recycling PET into RPET include collection, cleaning, crushing, melting, spinning, and weaving. In this process, other impurities in the plastic are separated, and dirt, glue, oil, and other stains on the surface are cleaned off. Modern recycling technology has been continuously optimized to further improve the strength of RPET, and now the strength of RPET material is almost comparable to PET. RPET is now widely used in packaging and textile industries.

Recycled PU A New Sustainable Fabric Choice for the Backpack Industry

As environmental awareness increases, more and more brands and consumers are paying attention to the application of sustainable materials to reduce the burden on the environment. Recycled Polyurethane (Recycled PU) is one of the eco-friendly materials that has attracted widespread attention, especially in the backpack industry, where more and more companies and designers are choosing it to produce their products.

 

What is Recycled PU?

Recycled PU, also known as recycled polyurethane, is made from recycled PU materials (such as production waste or discarded items) through processing and regeneration. Typically, these PU waste materials go through processes such as crushing, melting, and reshaping to be turned into reusable polyurethane raw materials. This process not only reduces waste generation but also decreases the dependence on new resources.

Recycled PU Recycled PU

Recycled PU not only retains the softness, wear resistance, and waterproof advantages of traditional PU but also has a more environmentally friendly production process. Therefore, recycled PU, which combines environmental protection and high performance, is an important material for the fashion and luggage industry to achieve sustainable development goals.

Recycle PU material

Main Features of Recycled PU

Environmentally Friendly: The production process of recycled PU uses recycled materials, reducing the exploitation of natural resources. This not only lowers the carbon footprint but also reduces the accumulation of PU materials in the natural environment.

High Durability: Recycled PU materials, after modification treatment, maintain excellent tensile and tear resistance, making them very suitable for the frequent use and wear of daily backpack products.

Waterproof and Easy to Clean: Similar to traditional PU, recycled PU has good waterproof performance, making it highly valuable in outdoor backpacks and sports bags. In addition, its surface is easy to clean, facilitating daily maintenance.

Diversity and Design Flexibility: Recycled PU can be customized in different thicknesses, textures, and colors, allowing for a variety of styles and design options, enriching the appearance choices for backpacks.

 

The Production Process of Recycled PU

1.Collection and Sorting: Producers collect waste PU from post-consumer or industrial waste and sort it.

2.Crushing and Melting: The sorted PU waste is crushed and then melted to be reshaped at high temperatures.

3.Filtering and Treatment: Chemical treatment is used to remove impurities and maintain the stable performance of the PU material.

4.Reshaping and Processing: Finally, the material is reshaped into films or fabrics for production, creating the recycled PU materials we are familiar with.

This production method is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly than synthetic PU materials, and it also reduces the dependence on chemicals.

 

Why Choose Recycled PU?

For brands and consumers who focus on environmental protection and social responsibility, recycled PU represents a forward-looking choice. It not only reduces material waste and environmental pollution but also provides a sustainable alternative to traditional materials. Synberry is well aware of the importance of environmental protection to the industry, and we are committed to continuously introducing more recycled PU materials into our future backpack products, making every backpack a contributor to the protection of the Earth's resources.

Why Orange?

If you were suddenly asked what color you think is the most eye-catching, perhaps everyone would have their own answer—black, white, or purple, etc. Clearly, this is not a question with a universally accepted answer. However, if I ask you what else in nature is orange besides oranges, you might not be able to come up with an answer right away. This color, named after a fruit, indeed has its unique qualities. It stands out remarkably in forests, snow-capped mountains, or oceans. This is the fundamental reason why it is used as the international rescue color.

From the 1950s to the 1960s, orange gradually gained international recognition as the rescue color and has been used ever since. It is widely applied to various rescue equipment, signs, and clothing.
