ProPak Asia 2016 recorded 40893 visitors with delegations attending from 68 countries over the four day trade show The AIP had the opportunity of being a part of the inaugural Australian Pavilion at ProPak Asia which was a resounding success in its first year Exhibitors within the Australian pavilion ndash which was hosted by the APPMA - included Accupak Adaptapack Confoil HMPS Rhima the AIP and the host of the pavilion

the APPMA Outside of the pavilion APPMA member companies Fibre King Heat and Control and TNA also exhibited In addition to exhibiting in the Australian Pavilion the AIP participated in a briefing session with Austrade to better understand the growth opportunities in the Asean Region we also had the pleasure of meeting His Excellency Paul Robilliard the Australian Ambassador for Thailand at a networking event that was hosted in the Australian Pavilion and Pierre Pienaar was a guest speaker at not one but two seminars that were held alongside the exhibition The AIP had an overwhelming response to their presence at the show and met with many visitors over the four days It was evident that education and training are high on the agenda in the Asean Region The AIP will be working on how the Institute can deliver on education within the region in the not-too-distant-future ProPak exceeded all expectations for the Institute and we look forward to joining the Australian Pavilion again in 2017

AIP HEADED TO PROPAK ASIA 2016 FOR THE FIRST TIME

Pierre with the Australian Ambassador for Thailand Paul Robilliard


Astonishing encouraging and inspiring This would best describe our recent attendance of ProPak Asia 2016 in Bangkok Thailand where the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) had the privilege of having a stand on the Australian Pavilion

We exceeded all expectations on the number of enquiries that we had on our stand during the 4 day event There were times when exhibition visitors were queuing to talk to an AIP representative It was a great event as the AIP really was placed on the Asian packaging stage in terms of what it can offer its members The majority of the enquiries were related to educational studies and opportunities of distance learning The enquiries were from Korea Maldives Thailand Singapore Vietnam Cambodia and China We will see over the coming weeks and months whether enquiries result in new students studying through the opportunities that the AIP offers

Certainly on-line learning was positively received and the most popular course was the Diploma in Packaging Technology course Many that we spoke to had been in the industry in excess of 5 years but have no formal qualification They are therefore finding it hard to move up the chain of hierarchy in their existing company or to move to another company The enquiries were majority from the 25 ndash 35 age group but we even had enquiries from folk in their sixties Those coming onto our stand were appreciative that we had made the effort to be present and show the opportunities that the AIP can offer

ProPak Asia is Asiarsquos largest and most important international food drink and pharmaceutical processing and packaging technology event If the AIP wants to be a player in this region then we need to be present and have a stand at this exhibition There were over 40 000 visitors from 48 countries attending over the four days

A comprehensive list of supporting industry events were featured at the show where we could share experiences and enabling one to advance onersquos knowledge Events such as the PharmaRech Seminar 2016 Thai Packaging Centre and TISTR Conference 2016 The Department of Industrial Promotion Seminar 2016 Asia Food BeverageThailand Seminar Food Focus Thailand Seminar and the Thai Star and Asia Star Packaging Awards 2015

In addition there was also the The 17th Food Innovation Asia Conference 2016 and Asia Drink Conference 2016 where Pierre Pienaar delivered a presentation at each of these two international conferences addressing issues affecting the Packaging industry and the impact of Packaging Design and its effect on cost These conferences were well attended by delegates from across Asia

PROPAK ASIA 2016 REPORTBy Pierre Pienaar (Prof ) Msc FAIP CPP

PROPAK ASIA 2016 REPORT


PROPAK ASIA 2016 REPORT PROPAK ASIA 2016 REPORT

In some of the presentations food technology was high on the agenda where no less than five new food technologies are set to redefine our food and beverage industry as well as our attitude to nutrition Aspects like Bioengineering Food-related Apps Automation Internet Smart machines 3-D printing and Nanotechnology

On show at the exhibition itself there were some useful ideas and tips from machines being exhibited were Bulk x-ray system offering high performance contaminant detection before further value is added to the product thus saving costAnother was a machine that enables continuous all-round inspection with increased precision for eg cracks shell shaped fractures chips broken glass and glass splinters that are surrounded by liquid in the base of bottles

A piece of interesting equipment was the air-based purification system that enables automatic and chemical-free disinfection of surfaces and whole production areas for food and beverage manufacturing factories

High pressure processing (HPP) appears to be on the rise and is the future of food and beverage technology This is a sterilisation method which subjects food and beverage products to intense pressure of 600 mpa for a few seconds to minutes killing all bacteria present It also opens opportunities for innovation like ingredients never before used in food and beverage due to their limitation of being heat-sensitive eg crustaceans molluscs and other seafood

Packaging componentry trends observed was the new closure for the edible oil market delivering both cleanliness and functionality This closure is unique as a flip top press-on closure

In the pharmaceutical sector it was observed that the trends were that blister packaging is certainly becoming more popular due mainly to efficiency safety hygiene and quality Nano-technology will certainly present some new opportunities in enhancing the functionality of pharmaceutical packaging For example 3D-printed electronics that can read temperature information More emphasis will be placed on precision labelling and coding for traceability purposes

In conclusion a rewarding and inspiring 4 days where my take-home focus to optimise efficiency in packaging solutions would bebull Maintain basic functionalitybull Support brand value and packagingbull Communicate the value of sustainabilitybull Packaging solutions that assist manufacturers reduce costs

Sealed Airrsquos sustainable vacuum skin solution for Don KRCs So Tender pork range won top honours in the retail category of the Save Food Packaging awards The inaugural presentation of

the Save Food Packaging awards took place in Melbourne on 1 June at the AIP National Conference gala dinner

The two categories were retail and food services and in the retail category the winner was Sealed Airrsquos Cryovac Darfresh packaging for Don KR Castlemainersquos [George Weston Foods] So Tender fresh pork range

Sustainable solutions for fresh meat are in high demand With all of the resources invested in producing fresh proteins (meats) prolonging freshness is a high priority

Sealed Airrsquos Alan Adams explains that the carbon footprint of 1kg of meat is 370 times greater than the package used to protect it making it vital to maximise product protection

ldquoShelf life extension is critical for retailers and for consumersrdquo he says

Previously GWF used Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) for its fresh meat but the switch to Darfresh has doubled the shelf life

Brand owner SPC Ardmona topped the food services category of the Save Food Packaging Awards with its ProVital easy-open portion-control fruit cup

According to the company healthcare food waste is as high as 30 per cent in the hospital setting much higher than other foodservice environments

ldquoHigh levels of plate waste contribute to malnutrition-related complications in hospital and there are also financial and environmental costsrdquo a spokesperson said

ldquoPackaging accessibility has been identified as a key issue contributing to rates of poor patient nutrition within hospitals in Australia where it is estimated that up to 40 per cent of patients experience some form of malnourishmentrdquo

Under government instruction NSW HealthShare in partnership with Arthritis Australia and Georgia Tech Research Institute began work to improve the accessibility of portion control packaging within the healthcare sector

The need for improvements in accessibility are in response to factors such as Australiarsquos ageing population the need to reduce food wastage in hospitals and improving nutritional standards within hospitals

This work resulted in the requirement for all portion control packs to have an Initial Scientific Review (ISR) Accessibility Rating to predict what percentage of the population can open the product without assistance and to be eligible for use in New South Wales public hospitals

What a privilege for me to have known Annabelle What a very special person Annabelle was In her role as company owner of Brite Koncept as 1st Vice President of the Asian Packaging

Federation and in her role as Chairman of the Packaging Council of Singapore (PCS) she led by example and never feared her responsibility She brought out the best in those with whom she associated both in her business and in the global packaging arena which is where I came to know her She certainly knew what she wanted to achieve and Brite Koncept is testimony to that

Annabelle was a busy lady always perfectly groomed Well dressed and with her mind always racing ahead she still made you feel so good Annabelle simply could not sit still From the first time I met her back in 2011 I knew there was a good friendship between our countries the friendship grew and Annabelle was always the perfect host at our numerous meetings over the years

I loved our lunches together at Changi International Airport whenever I was passing through Singapore She always made time for her World Packaging Organisation (WPO) colleagues She was a lovely presence at our WPO bi-annual meetings somewhere in the world The last time we (WPO) were with

Annabelle was in October 2015 with the Indian Institute of Packaging in Mumbai celebrating their golden jubilee and Annabelle had her usual warm smiling face through that week always encouraging always friendly and always the same Unfortunately she could not be present at our recent WPO gathering in Budapest in May 2016 and her presence was noticeably missed

Annabelle made a difference in the lives of others certainly in her own company and in the global packaging field where she had many friends who held her in very high esteem I recall being invited to speak at a PCS conference in 2015 The attention to detail that she brought to the event coupled with her astute focus on ensuring that her speakers were seen to and looked after was wonderful to see and experience She inspired those at the conference and helped them connect with others Her humility kindness zest for life is something that we on the WPO Board will miss Annabellersquos business acumen was highly respected by all in the World Packaging Organisation She will be sorely missed by her WPO colleagues Not only have we lost a friend but Singapore has lost a true ambassador who was always so proud of her country May she rest in peace

WPO created this new category due to its support to the Save Food Initiative from Messe Duumlsseldorf and FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation) ldquoThe idea is to encourage students to develop new solutions on packaging preventing food waste

The project presented can be new That means it does not need to have previously run for a national awardrdquo explains Thomas Schneider President of WPO

According to WPOacutes Sustainability Vice President Johannes Bergmair from Austria ldquoSave Food is a topic related to the whole supply chain And there are many ways and technologies to work on like logistics ldquofarm to tablerdquo transcontinental routings transit refrigeration storage conditions shelf life extension product handling and more Packaging is just one of them and it is the key element that WPO will focus onrdquo

This new category of WorldStar Student Award only recognises packaging solutions that could reduce food waste Both Student Award and Save Food Student Award had three winners each

According to Matthias Seyfang president of Victorinox Fragrances and winner in two categories - Health amp Beauty and Luxury - and Gold winner in the Marketing Award with the packaging of the perfume Victorinox Ella ldquoI was really impressed by the World Packaging gala ceremony Every detail was professionally and perfectly organised

The content and process of the evening the individual interviews the dinner with excellent food and beverages - all in a beautiful and elegant setting With this award WPO clearly inspires innovative packaging technology as well as motivation education and creativity of students

ARE THERE REALLY PEOPLE GOING WITHOUT FOOD IN AUSTRALIAYes there are but hunger is largely a hidden social problem and many victims suffer in silence Each year two million

people rely on food relief ndash around half of them are children Thatrsquos one in every ten Australians in need

Despite almost two decades of economic growth nearly a quarter of Australians still live in low economic resource

households and 10 live in actual poverty The prices of essentials like food health education housing utilities and

transport have climbed so much in recent years that people who are already struggling are susceptible to sudden

bill shock and financial disadvantage The current economic climate means people are turning to charity who would

never have dreamed of seeking such support in the past So itrsquos not just traditionally vulnerable groups such as the

homeless seeking food relief but also the aged single parents and the working poor

Children a casual worker or an elderly couple could be going hungry in any given street When bills have to be paid

food becomes a discretionary item Some statistics about the unlucky people in our lucky country 105000 PEOPLE ARE CURRENTLY HOMELESS 22 MILLION AUSTRALIANS LIVE IN POVERTY 109 OF CHILDREN LIVE IN POVERTY 1 IN 4 PENSIONERS LIVE IN OR CLOSE TO POVERTY
