Seeking Non-Persistent Liquid Containment Solutions for Paper Packaging

We are searching for non-persistent and liquid containment barriers for recyclable pulp packaging, which is compatible in a recycling paper stream. P&G has two key 2030 packaging design goals: 100% of our packaging will be recyclable or reusable; reduce our use of virgin petroleum plastic in our consumer packaging by 50% also promoting the use of responsibly sourced bio-based materials and circular materials. P&G considers packaging to be recyclable if there is at-scale collection, sorting, processing, and end markets for the material and format in at least one geography. We do not consider waste to energy and conversion to fuels as suitable end markets to satisfy this definition. Pulp-based packaging can be consumer preferred. Most applications in Beauty require packing to have liquid formulas. However, paper is inherently porous and hydrophilic and therefore only supplies limited barrier. To get around these limitations, paper must be combined with other coatings to deliver the packaging functionality.

Ancillary device for water rescue and lifesaving. This small, light device is worn as a waist bag and self-inflates by means of a CO2 cartridge just before making contact with the bather in distress. The device fits snugly around the lifesaver’s waist, generates no resistance for swimming and leaves their hands free in order to carry out preventive lifesaving tasks. Its strong buoyancy once inflated makes it suitable for rescuing heavy or multiple victims.
