Packaging components principles

As described above, individual packaging components will invariably contain complex mixtures of chemical entities (e.g., additives and oligomers), many if not most of which are at relatively trace levels (i.e., pg/g and lower). The principles of Trace Organic Analysis, as developed in the environmental, geochemical, and bioanalytical fields, can be applied to the problem of identification and quantification of these individual chemical entities, whether as extractables or as leachables.f The general process is as follows ... 

Technologically it is important that smart battery packages, featuring power management by electronic devices within the battery package, are becoming a necessity due to the sensitive charging characteristics of Li and Ni-MeHy batteries, it should be noted that the same principles at a fraction of the cost have been successfully applied realized by simple reversal protection and overflow components by the low-cost RAM batteries. 

Since full analyses are carried out, a lot of data are generated. Every parameter is reviewed for trends that signal product aging or outright decomposition of the active principle this can be as cosmetic in nature as discoloration or as potentially hazardous as buildup of toxic derivatives. If the drug substance is an ester, for example, hydrolysis, particularly if moisture penetrates the primary packaging material, will decompose the compound into its acid and alcohol components. From a pharmaceutical or medical viewpoint, even if there is no toxicity issue involved, this will result in a loss of bioavailability. Even this is to be avoided because subpotency introduces therapeutic uncertainty and can go as far as lethal undertreatment. 

Components can be treated as robustly packaged objects.25 This might mean that a component comes with a test kit, that it is designed to be fairly defensive against its interlocutors that do not observe the documented preconditions, that it executes in its own space, and that it can cope with intermittent failure of its neighbors. All the principles we have discussed hitherto are therefore just as applicable within a single programming space as they are between objects that are distributed all over the planet. 

A key to identifying and applying pollution prevention principles is to understand the total life cycle of a product or material. From an ultimate disposal view, identify and discuss potential opportunities for pollution prevention for a juice pack of orange juice. Note that both the packaging and content are components of this popular product.
