Avtech proFlight is an easy-to-use iPad app that visualizes flight related weather information like turbulence, winds, temperature, ice and more, all tailored to a single flight’s trajectory and time. Now all pilots can try out the app free of charge for a limited time on AppStore. Niklaes Persson, Head of R&D at Avtech and a commercial airline pilot himself, explains that the proFlight app gives pilots a graphical view of the exact location of the aircraft and the surrounding weather, including invisible turbulence. “To download the flight plan to proFlight, a pilot that is registered in our system only needs to choose the flight number from a list in the app, which then automatically downloads all the needed data for that flight”, Persson says. “But it is much more than just another weather app. Having unique access to Met Office’s 10 km resolution weather data, which our backend servers extract individually for every flight...

Local farmers’ ability to sell biomass to Iggesund Paperboard’s paperboard mill at Workington will return over 1.5 million pounds annually to the local agricultural industry. The initiative has created a totally new source of income for close to 200 farms in Cumbria and Scotland. It was recently given Rushlight Bioenergy Award. The Rushlight Awards is a set of awards designed specifically to support and promote all the latest clean technologies, innovations, initiatives and deployment projects for businesses and other organisations throughout UK, Ireland and internationally. In 2013 Iggesund invested in a biomass-fired combined heat and power plant for the primary purpose of being able to run its paperboard mill on renewable energy. Overnight the mill switched its energy supply from fossil natural gas to biomass, and thereby reduced its fossil carbon dioxide emissions by 190,000 tonnes a year, the equivalent to the annual emissions of...

Профессионалы, занимающиеся пищевой упаковкой, порой ощущают себя связанными регламентирующими нормативами и стандартами. Однако не менее жесткие требования предъявляются и к упаковке медицинской продукции. Такие изделия должны быть изготовлены в стерильной среде и в безопасности доставлены в операционную без риска загрязнения. Несоблюдение этих требований подвергает опасности жизнь и здоровье пациентов медицинских учреждений. Одно из важнейших требований к упаковке заключается в обеспечении успешной транспортировки продукции – импланта или хирургического оборудования, – до кабинета врача или операционной. Многочисленные стандарты, направленные на соблюдение этого требования, регламентируют такие показатели, как герметичность упаковочного материала, пригодность упаковки к процессу стерилизации, прочность запирающих клапанов, барьерные свойства, не допускающие проникновение микроорганизмов, и многие другие. Помимо того, что все эти...

Ряд глобальных компаний заменили или проводят испытания, чтобы заменить материал подарочных карт с пластика на картон. Крупнейшая в Швеции кинематографическая сеть SF Bio сделала решительный шаг и заменяет все свои карты. «Когда наш поставщик карт Megacard предложил нам сделать подарочные карты из картона и тем самым резко снизить их воздействие на окружающую среду, было очевидно, что мы перейдем на новый материал», – объясняет Анна Маркуссон, менеджер по продукции для подарочных карт SF Bio. «Другими словами это означает, что мы постепенно откажемся от использования десяти тонн ПВХ в год, заменяя пластмассу картами Invercote производства компании Iggesund Paperboard, – продолжает она. Замена пластмассы на неископаемый материал – это четкая тенденция, охватившая, в частности, упаковочную промышленность. Переход от ископаемой пластмассы к альтернативному материалу, такому как картон, снижает воздействие компаний на климат. Однако...

Порой бывает весьма нелегко разработать минималистское, элегантное и одновременно простое с виду упаковочное решение. Наглядным примером такой продукции стала картонная упаковка для парфюма Jimmy Choo L’EAU, выпущенного летом 2017 года. За исключением названия бренда и надписи «туалетная вода», упаковка выдержана в бледно-розовой тональности. При этом она прошла двенадцать этапов отделки. Картон марки Invercote производится шведской фабрикой Iggesund Paperboard. Упаковка изготовлена известной французской типографией Draeger по заказу компании Interparfums. Коробка запечатана с обеих сторон офсетным способом. Бледно-розовая запечатка внутренней стороны коробки окутывает бутылочку гармоничной атмосферой. На наружную сторону нанесено слепое тиснение под змеиную кожу и две текстовых строки. Упаковка снаружи заламинирована пленкой с эффектом софт-тач, имеет матовое лакирование, тиснение серебряной фольгой и голографической пленкой. “Мы...
