“…The temperature variation has a big effect on the microbial growth and chemical properties of the food products and it should be included in the estimation of the main food parameters such as shelf life and risk of illness (Gospavić et al, 2012). The recycling of packaging waste is the primary objective of the community with clear targets set in the European law (Massarutto et al, 2011). The rejects of packaging waste sorting plants should be mainly composed of packaging plastics (PE, PP, PS, Pet and PVC).…”

Packaging is an important instrument of commerce and trade in the world, it plays essential role in increasing sales and export and thus it maximizes profits generated in enterprises. Hence, the appropriate packaging for the producer generates necessary incentives for production, partly preserves them against zany opponents, and finally provides the customer with much more variety and choosing the right products. Packaging in fact, is a major contributor to the performance of customer relationship management. This survey determines five packaging factors influencing on export development including communications, infrastructure, awareness, design and technical extraction. Through the implementation of principal component analysis, the effective role of packaging components on exports is measured. Exploratory research model indicates that all five packing components were effective in export development of food industry.

Abstract:The recycling of packaging waste is an objective of the Community with clear targets set in the European law. The study of the institutional arrangements, recycling systems and of the costs that resulted from this environmental policy represents an ongoing effort. While each member state has currently its own packaging waste management system, there is still a lack of evidence regarding the actual costs of recycling and on how these costs have been distributed among stakeholders. This paper addresses the Portuguese framework and discusses the financial transfers undertaken by the entity that manages the Green Dot scheme. For this purpose, we use data from the entities in charge of selective collection and sorting of household packaging waste

“…Contudo, a reciclagem não tem só vantagens (MASSARUTTO; CARLI; GRAFFI, 2011). É bastante evidente que esse processo tem custos diretos acrescidos para os agentes dos setores público e privado (que se podem traduzir, por exemplo, em preços de produtos embalados mais elevados ou num acréscimo das tarifas ou impostos afetos à gestão de resíduos sólidos urbanos).…”

A reciclagem de resíduos de embalagens é um grande objetivo da União Europeia. A legislação comunitária impõe metas muito ambiciosas relativamente às taxas de reciclagem a atingir por todos os Estados-membros. Por conseguinte, a análise das operações e dos custos acrescidos que resultaram dessa política ambiental constitui um relevante tópico de investigação. Uma vez que cada Estado-membro tem seu próprio sistema de reciclagem, existe uma clara falta de informação acerca dos custos reais das várias etapas do ciclo de vida dos resíduos e de como esses custos têm sido distribuídos por todos os intervenientes.Este artigo caracteriza o caso português e discute as transferências financeiras feitas pela organização que gerencia o Sistema Ponto Verde. Essas transferências são posteriormente comparadas com os custos reais dos prestadores locais (operadores de resíduos), pelo que é possível discutir a eficiência e justiça do sistema. Conclui-se que cada tonelada de resíduos de embalagens triada custa cerca de 289€ aos prestadores de resíduos (custos de investimento, operação e manutenção com a coleta diferenciada e processo de triagem). Se os custos evitados com a coleta indiferenciada e a destinação final desses resíduos forem contabilizados como benefícios do sistema, então os benefícios correspondem a 127% dos custos totais. Contudo, se os custos evitados com a coleta indiferenciada e a destinação final não forem considerados, os benefícios dos prestadores de gestão de resíduos cobrem apenas 77% dos seus custos. disposal of this waste are accounted for as benefits of the system, then the total benefits correspond to 127% of the total costs. However, if these "opportunity" costs are not considered, the benefits of the waste management operators only cover 77% of the costs.
