Creative and Environment-Friendly Packaging Designs

The consumers thought this is the wonder material, the material that’s great for the environment. It’s cheap to produce, easy to work with, and it doesn’t hurt any trees! It was during the time where trees were being cut down indiscriminately; so people were happy that plastic was used for packaging and not paper in order to save the trees. Plastic was believed to be the material that can save Mother Earth. Fast forward years later and we see the immense effects of using plastic. We’ve probably heard of environment-friendly packaging design in the packaging industry. I admire creative and environmentally friendly packaging.

Random Videos. Nanotechnological innovations can improve water purification. Research teams are trying different approaches within the nanotechnological field to improve water membrane technologies.

Nanotechnological innovations can improve water purification

One of these is to improve water purification by using nature’s own water-transporting channels, aquaporins. However, constructing suitable membranes for industrial processes is a challenge. Membranes for water purification are used in many applications and different types of membranes are being developed at the moment. No membrane can filter and purify water entirely, but improvements using novel kinds of membranes are made. In the European Commission-funded project MEMBAQ (Incorporation of Aquaporins in Membranes for Industrial Applications) researchers are taking advantage of a unique structure nature has already created, when they are developing a nanotechnological invention.

The main challenge at the moment is to make membranes applicable to industrial processes. Explore further: New light on novel additive manufacturing approach. New 'Metamaterial' First to Bend Light in Visible Spectrum.
