New Packaging Laws Go Into Effect In France New laws, including a ban on plastic packaging for several fruits and vegetables came into effect in France on New Year’s Day. The measures aimed at reducing pollution will also prevent manufacturers from dumping certain clothing, hygiene and furniture products that have not been sold. “It is estimated that in Europe, out of the eight million tonnes of plastic produced per year for sin- gle-use packaging, 1.5 million tonnes could already be removed,” said Armand Chaigne, Director of In- dustrial Markets at packaging firm DS Smith. “That represents about 70 billion units of single-use plas- tic packaging about $7.9 billion of additional turn- over potential for cardboard.” Beverage Industry Aims To Be Renewable By 2030 Beverage carton producers have pledged to make cartons from 100 percent renewable and recycled material and cut down on their plastic consumption by 2030 to increase their sustainability and help meet global climate goals. The pledges are part of the industry group Alli- ance for Beverage Cartons and the Environment’s roadmap to 2030. The plan includes reaching a 70 percent recycling rate and a 90 percent collection rate by the end of the decade, as well as improving product design to increase circularity and decarbonizing the value chain in line with the goal to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Propanol Market To Rise Through 2025 The global propanol market is projected to rise from its latest evaluation of $2.19 billion in the year 2016 to reach the valuation of $2.68 billion at the end of the forecast period i.e. 2025, according to a new report by the Transparency Market Research. The report also predicts that the global propanol market will expand at a steady growth rate of 2.3 percent over the forecast period of 2017 to 2025. Products in the global propanol market i.e. pro- panol, is a colorless alcohol solution. These con- sist of two distinct types of isomers i.e. N-propanol and isopropanol. N-Propanol is used as solvent in various printing ink applications, most notably in flexographic printing.
