A flagship publication of GPC Global and arguably the most detailed publication available on the subject, the acclaimed Recommended Pack Configurations for the bulk transportation of Glass Bottles & Jars series provides a comprehensive breakdown of the packaging materials used in the bulk transportation of container-glassware. Technical data has been obtained from around the globe from international glass manufacturers and manufacturers of individual packaging materials. This edition focuses on the recommended Packaging Specifications for Beer and Beverage Bottles and includes: 1) Detailed Pack Configurations for the bulk transportation of Beer and Beverage bottles. 2) Material Specification data-sheets outlining the recommended specifications of individual components of all pack configurations. 3) Recommended pack configurations based on bottle-shape. 4) Recommended pack configurations based on depalletising systems at the filling-plant. 5) Non-standard and sub-standard pack configurations. All Food and Beverage manufacturers filling in glass bottles and jars should have a detailed ‘Packaging Specification’ for each of their vessels. The detailed illustrations and technical data within this publication make it easy to produce a detailed pack-configuration for individual vessels, and produce detailed specifications for the individual components of those pack-configurations. Do the current packaging materials for your glass vessels meet the recommended guidelines? Compare your glass suppliers specifications to those in the Manual. Are you looking at procuring your glass vessels offshore (China, Asia, Middle East)? If so, it is essential you provide your supplier with the appropriate Packaging Specification to ensure your glass vessels survive the rigors of international transportation, warehousing, storage, and arrive at the filling plant in prime condition. Ensure all pack components meet the “GPC” Recommendations. Are you looking for potential cost-saving opportunities? If some of your packaging materials are 'over-spec' there may be opportunities to reduce costs. This publication will provide a valuable resource for: > Procurement Managers > Quality Assurance Managers > Production/Operations Managers > Quality Systems Managers > Supplier Auditors For those individuals involved in the procurement and handling of beer and beverage bottles, the information provided in this publication will be of great benefit to those seeking to: a) Set relevant and up-to-date pack configurations for Beer and Beverage bottles. b) Set specifications for all individual components of the selected pack configuration. c) Ensure current glass bottle suppliers are providing your glass vessels on packaging materials that meet the required specifications. d) Provide appropriate packaging specifications to new offshore suppliers (e.g. China, Asia, Middle East) to ensure they meet the required quality standards. e) Assess the potential for cost savings where unnecessary or over-spec packaging materials are being utilised. f) Determine recommended pack configurations based on bottle-shape. g) Determine recommended pack configurations based on depalletising systems at the filling-plant. h) View examples of Non-Standard and Sub-Standard pack configurations. The publication will also be of interest to Glass Manufacturers to assess how their packaging specifications compare to other international suppliers of glass packaging.

"This study is a resource and environmental profile analysis (REPA) of nine beverage container options. The analysis encompassed seven different parameters: virgin raw materials use, energy use, water use, industrial sold wastes, post-consumer solid wastes, air pollutant emissions and water pollutant effluents. These parameters were assessed for each manufacturing and transportation step in the life cycle of a container, beginning with extraction of the raw materials from the earth, continuing through the materials processing steps, product fabrication, use and final disposal. The nine container systems encompass four basic raw materials: glass, steel, aluminum and plastic. A fifth basic material is also included in packaging of the containers; this material is paper.--P. 1.

Food Science and Technology: Trends and Future Prospects presents different aspects of food science i.e., food microbiology, food chemistry, nutrition, process engineering that should be applied for selection, preservation, processing, packaging, and distribution of quality food. The authors focus on the fundamental aspects of food and also highlight emerging technology and innovations that are changing the food industry. The chapters are written by leading researchers, lecturers, and experts in food chemistry, food microbiology, biotechnology, nutrition, and management. This book is valuable for researchers and students in food science and technology and it is also useful for food industry professionals, food entrepreneurs, and farmers.

Encyclopaedia of Brewing provides a comprehensive description and explanation of all terms which relate to the science and technology of beer, allied beverages and the brewing and malting processes. The Encyclopaedia’s unrivalled coverage is extensive enough to provide an appropriately detailed description of each term under consideration, supplemented in many cases with diagrams and photographs. Offering an international perspective, the book includes descriptions of the terms used in: the brewing process, from raw materials through to packaging the biochemistry, microbiology and genetics which underpin brewing laboratory methods used for the analysis of beer and raw materials quality assurance/control systems and standards hygiene and cleaning processes small- and large-pack packaging engineering of malting, brewing, packaging and dispense beer flavour chemistry historical context legislation relevant to brewing Encyclopaedia of Brewing is the only book of its kind, and is destined to become the essential and authoritative first point of reference for brewing science.
