"PACKBEST 20-21"PACKBEST - INVESTIGATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF WAVE PROFILES ON THE BEHAVIOR OF CORRUGATED CARDBOARD PACKAGES DURING TRANSPORT OPERATIONS. DESCRIPTIONCorrugated cardboard packaging is used extensively by practically all industrial sectors for the handling, transport and storage of goods. If we take into account the segregation by materials used in the manufacture of containers and packaging, those made with paper and cardboard represent 35%. In addition, experts expect sustained growth in demand between 3,5% and 4,0% until 2023, due to the versatility and performance of the material and its sustainability, among others. OBJECTIVESThe general objective of the PACKBEST project is to improve and optimize corrugated cardboard packaging for transport by understanding the influence on their performance of the raw materials used, especially corrugated papers, and the wave profile. EXPLANATORY VIDEORESULTS OBTAINEDYear 2021: The results obtained by carrying out the PACKBEST project are given by the exhaustive characterization of the corrugated cardboard that makes up the packaging. Corrugated cardboard packaging has also been characterized depending on its use. On the other hand, the relationships between the physical-mechanical characteristics of corrugated papers, corrugated cardboard sheets and the transport behavior of corrugated cardboard packaging have been determined, focusing the research on packaging for fruits and vegetables and for products frozen. Finally, proposals have been formulated for the improvement and optimization of corrugated cardboard packaging, focused on the selection of component papers.
