  2. Sustainable Packaging Initiative the IMPACT Center Research Education Industrial Partnership Advanced Processes Sustainable Packaging Degree Programs Research Collaboration • Technical & quality services • Advisory Board: ESPRI • Industrial partners • High pulping yield • Minor  Major • Courses • Undergraduate • Graduate • Advisory Board: SPPF • Academic partners Bio-based Materials • Biorenewable • Functional Internship Program Technical Analysis • Co-op/internship program • Characterization • Performance testing Economic & Environmental Evaluation • TEA/IMPLAN modeling • LCA

  3. Sustainable Packaging Initiative Research Development of sustainable packaging materials, package design, and best environmental performance Innovative Biopolymer-based Packaging Materials • Light-weighting of paperboard • Functional materials • Nanocellulose;nanolignins; biopolymers; electro-conductive or stimuli-responsive materials Advanced Manufacturing Processes • Development of pulping process for enhancing productivity & strength • Recycled OCC furnishes – fines, other components • Economical evaluation (TEA & IMPLAN modeling) High-Performance Packaging Materials • Complete utilization of biomass- producing high-value chemicals & value-added co-products from biomass • Modeling & performance improvement – strength, barrier resistance, moisture sensitivity

  4. Sustainable Packaging Initiative Education The ESF IMPACT center will address technical packaging challenges through research and training students with knowledge and skills to meet societal and company sustainability demands • Expected Outcomes • New Packaging Science courses and programs • Increased student enrollment and career opportunities • Essential • Knowledge • Practical • Education • Broad • Scope Fundamental Knowledge & Applications of Packaging Materials and Processes Industry-related Courses, Collaboration, and Career Opportunities Multidisciplinary Programs (MCR, RMS, PSE, FCH, and ENS)
