PAPER SANDWICH

STIFF, STRONG, LIGHT-WEIGHT PACKAGING MATERIAL

HISTORY

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION _ DEMAND FOR GOODS INCREASED,SO DID THE NEED FOR A LIGHTER MEANS TO TRANSPORT AND PROTECT THEM.

FLIMSY SHEETS OF PAPER CRIMPED INTO REPEATED UNDULGING PATTERN,CREATING MORE RIGID,STRONGER MATERIAL FOR PACKAGING FRAGILE GOODS.1856- EDWARD C.HALEY FILED A PATENT AND USED UNDULATED PAPER ASA LINER FOR TALL HATS

1871 - NEW YORK- ALBERT JONES ADDED A SINGLE LINER SHEET TO ONE SIDE OF THE UNDULATED PAPER AND USED IT TO WRAP JONES’ BOTTLES AND GLASS LANTERNS.

1874 - OLIVER LONG ADDED LINER SHEETS TO BOTH SIDES.THIS IS CORRU-GATED CARDBOARD THAT WE KNOW TODAY.

1890 - BROOKLYN- ROBERT GAIR-PAPER-BAG MAKER INVENTS BY ACCIDENT A CARTON MADE OF PRE-CUT FLAT PIECES

PRODUCTIONPULPING PROCESS

pine treescellulose(plant fibers)

Removing lignin.

CHEMICALS USED IN KRAFT PROCESS (There are 13 other methods of pulping using different chemicals)

SODIUM SULFIDE, SODIUM HYDROXIDE (NaOH)

(most of these chemicals,together with lignin and lye are recycled in a furnace causing air quality problems and global warming)

wood pulp

PRODUCTIONWOOD PUPL IS PUMPED TO THE PAPER-MAKING MACHINE.NEXT PAPER IS FED INTO MASSIVE, STREAM-HEATED ROLLERS AND FELT BLANKETS THAT REMOVE THE WATER.

PRODUCTIONIN ANOTHER MACHINE PAPER IS CORRUGATED AND 3 SIDES ARE GLUEDTOGETHER WITH STARCH GLUE (AND OTHER CHEMICALS) ,THEN BEND AND CUT TO THE APPROPREAT SIZE.

300 feet = 91 m

RECYCLING

RECYCLINGCORRUGATED CARDBOARD CAN BE RECYCLED 7 TIMES BEFORE FIBERS ARE TOO SHORT TO BE USED AGAIN.

RECYCLING 1 TON OF CORRUGATED CARDBOARD SAVES

17 TREES 7 000 gal WATER 462 gal OIL 3 qubic yards OF SPACE IN A LANDFILL

according to PaperTrail.com

31,4 MILLION TONS OF CORRUGATED CARDBOARD ARE DISCARDED EACH YEAR(according to Environmnetal Protection agency)

RECYCLING PROBLEMS

WAXY CARDBOARD BOXES 5% OF THE PRODUCTION

WATERROOF CAOTING APPLYED TO CARDBOARD:

-laminating with plastic film-curtain coating (spraying) an exterior plastic coating to the cardboard-impregnating with hot wax substance. Wax is a petroleum-based product

NONE OF THESE SUBSTANCEC CAN BE RECYCLED !!!
