How much is wasted in plastic tube packaging?
When you throw away these "run out" plastic tube packages, do you notice that a considerable part of them cannot be squeezed out? Do you know how much facial cleanser is wasted? When you visit the mall, you can find that today's facial cleanser, Most toothpastes are packaged in plastic tubes. A face-lifting facial cleanser stands upright on the counter, and it is this packaging design that leads to waste.
To this end, the reporter conducted an experiment to calculate the waste rate of facial cleanser and toothpaste in these plastic tube packages. The experiment found that almost all of this packaging has a waste rate of about 10%. Cut off the cleansing milk that is about to be discarded, and still have a lot of unused facial cleanser in the "shoulder" of the package.
Experimental sample: 120g toothpaste, 150ml women's facial cleanser, (The above sample brand, packaging texture is different, are "disappeared" will be discarded, it is a case of hard squeeze and can not squeeze out)
Experimental tool: desktop electronic scale (unit: g)
Experimental purpose: Through the experiment, the percentage of the residue in the facial cleanser and toothpaste to be discarded is roughly measured, and the waste rate is obtained.
Experiment description:
1. Measure the weight of the sample and record the data as M1 (package quality + residue quality).
2. Cut the sample and check the residue distribution. Wash off the residue with tap water and confirm that it has been cleaned. The sample was again placed on a bench scale and the data recorded was M2 (package quality).
3. Find the net content marked on the outside of the package plastic cosmetic tube manufacturers and record it as M3.
4. Calculate the waste rate: (M1-M2) / (M3) × 100%
experiment one
□ Experimental sample: 120g toothpaste
"How do you usually squeeze your toothpaste? How do you squeeze it? When you run out, the family will slowly push the toothpaste up from the bottom." Miss Li said that the parents of the previous generation saved their habits. Then, a toothpaste used in the last shoulder was squeezed and deformed flat. "This should not be left!"
So, is it really like Miss Li? The reporter put the toothpaste that Miss Li will drop on the electronic scale and measure it, M1 is 10g. Cut the side of the toothpaste shell and there is really not much residual toothpaste left on the tube wall (Figure 12). However, a lot of toothpaste is still deposited at the mouth and shoulders. This toothpaste is made of aluminum and is light and thin. Wash the tube and measure the weight of the package M2 again. The weight is close to 0g.
Experimental results: The residue weight is about 10 g and the waste rate is about 8%.
Experiment 2
Experimental sample: 150ml ladies facial cleanser
This facial cleanser is a plastic tube structure, but the tube is very wide and hard, and the diameter of the cap is large, about 4.5 cm. The owner of the dress used to make the best use of the face, the face of the facial cleanser was squeezed to one side. If it had not had a big fat cap, I would not be able to stand in balance. Place the facial cleanser on the electronic scale and show that M1 is 40g.
Cut the bottom of the facial cleanser and condense a lot of creamy facial cleanser on the inner wall of the bottle. On the shoulder of the tube, there are many deposits. It is not a problem to use these residual facial cleansing five or six times. After the tube was washed, it was weighed again, and M2 was 20 g.
Experimental results: The weight of the residue was 20 g, and the waste rate was 13% (roughly 150 ml was equivalent to 150 g).
The easier it is to squeeze the sample, the lower the waste rate. The degree of extrusion is closely related to the packaging material. The texture is thick and hard, and the extrusion is difficult; the texture is soft and thin, and the extrusion is relatively easy. In addition, the paste is more likely to condense into a mass than the flow, which is a hindrance to continued use.
Through experiments, it can be seen that plastic toothed toothpaste and facial cleanser generally have a waste rate of about 10%. This is still to control the waste rate to the lowest ratio in the case of "eat the milk." If you count the habits on weekdays, you are afraid of wasting more. According to the price conversion of these products, this packaging causes consumers to lose four or five yuan.
