Packing material resources

Ratios of wood chip from palette, crating or packing material, concrete-form plywood, and others were 18%, 14%, 13%, and 4%, respectively. Mills that can use this type of recycled wood were limited. They selected the waste wood resources according to their own locations. 

The modular approach is based upon the current capacity of the OPCW in terms of offers of assistance by States Parties (in the form of material and personnel), and the capacity of the Secretariat to store, maintain, transport, and distribute the items and resources most likely to be needed should a CW-related emergency arise. The components of this approach would involve a central stockpile of resources and equipment in the Organisation s headquarters, available for immediate dispatch to a requesting State Party, and in addition, stockpiles of resources which have been offered by States Parties and organised in the form of modules. The modules would be categorised into basic assistance modules (BAMs) for emergency assistance, and specialised assistance modules (SAMs) for supplementary and humanitarian assistance. The Secretariat would store BAMs and a very limited stockpile of humanitarian assistance, while both BAMs and SAMs would be stockpiled by the States Parties. The basic module could consist of pallet-packed items, ready to be airlifted within 12 hours after the request for assistance has been received. The BAMs in the headquarters stockpile will be identical to the BAMs stored by States Parties. This will facilitate identification, packing, dispatch, and the delivery of assistance. 

When introduced into the space between layers or in the middle layer of a multilayered film (Fig. 2.3e) the Cl can be isolated into the packing space at a controlled rate to ensure the rustproof environment, on one hand, and sufficient resource of the film material and safety, on the other [3[. 

Starch is a renewable resource and is biodegradable. It can be an important raw material to make environmentally friendly products. The National Starch and Chemical Co. developed an extrusion process to make dry starch foam. The starch foam behaves like the styrene form and can be used as its replacement in the packing industry. After usage, the starch foam can be dumped into a sink...
