Abstract

A dynamic model has been developed for reused and recycled packaging material flows. It allows a rigorous description of the flows and stocks during the transition to new targets imposed by legislation, product demand variations or even by variations in consumer discard behaviour. Given the annual reuse and recycle frequency and packaging lifetime, the model determines all packaging flows (e.g., consumption and reuse) and variables through which environmental policy is formulated, such as recycling, waste and reuse rates and it identifies the minimum number of variables to be surveyed for complete packaging flow monitoring. Simulation of the transition to the new flow conditions is given for flows of packaging materials in Greece, based on 1995-1998 field inventory and statistical data.

Abstract

An interview with Sabine Lenz, a graphic designer and founder of paper database provider Paper Specs, is presented. Lenz explains the idea behind Paper Specs. She discusses how printers can make sure that their environmental policies will not be interpreted as greenwashing. She also mentions how printers should address the issue of having to stock all the different paper choices.
