Estimation of material cycles to packaging and containers in the near future by using a material flow model.

Abstract

Developed the material flow for packaging and containers can consider factors relating to the use of packaging and containers material flow model, scenario estimation of waste packaging and containers in the near future (2030 ), generation, processing and recycling processes. Packaging and containers material flow model is a model estimated from the material balance of material available to meet the demand for these from those containers and packaging and food in the contents of the demand for change considering effect of virgin materials manufacturing, recycling materials, import and export materials demand and CO2 emissions also incorporates together.Set the 2 contrasting social scenarios in case calculated using containers packaging model as society changes, and/or material demand of each made estimates of the waste and recycling situation. Assume the measures of sound material-cycle society in addition to the social scenario as a countermeasure scenarios and evaluate the effects of those measures.
