• Innovation to advance and scale up new tech- nologies that make recycling and recovering plastics easier and create value from post-use plastics; • Education and engagement of governments, busi- nesses, and communities to mobilize action; and • Clean-up of concentrated areas of plastic waste in the environment, particularly the major conduits of waste, such as rivers, that carry land-based waste to the ocean. ICPF Provides Awards To Expand College Programs In 2008, the International Corrugated Packaging Foundation installed a CAD table and design software at Millersville University (MU), Millersville, Pennsylva- nia, to introduce a packaging design program for the University’s graphic design students within the uni- versity’s Department of Applied Engineering, Safety & Technology. Upon receiving an award request this past year from MU, ICPF placed a TMI crush tester and a TMI burst tester to initiate new corrugated test- ing lab courses at the university that will commence this winter/summer 2019 semester. As part of the award agreement, Millersville Univer- sity additionally purchased a densometer and a TMI cobb sizing tester to add to the lab. In addition to providing MU design students further knowledge on corrugated materials, the testing lab also will be used for early outreach and education for Pennsylvania high school STEM students that is provided each summer by MU’s College of Technology and Science. Indiana State University (ISU) also conducts a packag- ing design track within its graphic communication pro- gram that is administered under the College of Technology.The university applied to ICPF’s university packaging award program this past year as well. Indiana State will be provided up to $126,375 over three years to expand its corrugated packaging curriculum, to cre- ate new certificate programs for corrugated sales, corru- gated design and structural design, and to conduct annual outreach to recruit upcoming high school gradu- ates into ISU’s packaging design program. The short- term goal for the end of the second year is a 25 percent or more increase in the annual number of ISU students being prepared for a corrugated packaging career. The assistance provided to Millersville and Indiana State is a part of the ICPF’s 2018 - 2021 Corrugated Packaging University Endowment Awards program in which ICPF’s 25 partner universities, as well as other colleges around the country were invited to submit pro- posals to expand or create new corrugated curricula.
