Unveiling the Simulation Packaging Testing Laboratory (SPTL) and Green Packaging Laboratory (GPL)

An Epilogue

One of the important DOST Projects under its Big 21 in 2021 is the establishment of the Simulation Packaging Testing Laboratory (SPTL) and Green Packaging Laboratory (GPL).  This project was funded through the DOST-GIA and implemented by the ITDI-Packaging Technology Division (PTD).   The ‘Unveiling Event’ for these two laboratories will be held on June 20, 2022 at 2:00 pm at the SPTL/GPL site inside the DOST Compound, Bicutan, Taguig.  The Keynote Speaker is DOST Secretary Fortunato De La Peña.  Key players from the private sector and academic institutions are expected to attend the event.

SPTL/GPL

The SPTL was designed based on international standards in developing packaging design, performance evaluation and in developing testing protocols for distribution packaging.  With SPTL, the current capability of PTD in developing packaging design and performance testing of transport packaging will be significantly expanded.  

On the other hand, the green packaging lab or GPL is being established to provide alternative packaging or packaging options to the consumers, and not in any way to discriminate any type of packaging materials.  Green packaging could not be directly equated to biodegradable packaging.  GPL envisions to do research on the following areas:

•           Processes that will reduce energy consumption and solid/liquid waste

•           Materials reduction without compromising product quality and consumer safety

•           Use of indigenous and renewable materials

•           Circular/Recycling technologies

•           Waste utilization

•           Waste disposal

UNVEILING NG SPTL, GPL PARA SA PINOY ENTREPRENYUR

Bicutan, Taguig-Napakahalaga ng papel na ginagampanan ng packaging sa pagbebenta ng isang produkto, dito nakasalalay ang buhay ng isang produkto kung tatangkilikin ba ito ng madla o hindi.

ito ang dahilan sa likod ng aktibidad ngayon dito sa Unveiling ng Simulation Packaging Testing Laboratory at Green Packaging Laboratory.

upang magkaroon ng katiyakan ang mga konsyumer na ligtas ang kanilang mga produktong kinukunsumo sa pamamagitan ng maayos na packaging nito.

ngayon ay nagbukas na ito para sa mga negosyanteng naisip iayos ang packaging nga kanilang mga produkto sa maka agham na paraan.

salaysay nga ni DOST USec. Dr. Rowena Cristina Guevara, nadadaan sa ganda ng packaging ang buhay ng isang karaniwang produkto, nagiging competitive din ang halaga nito at magiging malaki rin ang kita ng negosyante.

ngayong pandemya nag iba ang pananaw ng tao sa pagpili ng produktong bibilhin sa merkado.

ayon kay PCIERRD Exec. Dir. Enrico Paringit, nakikilala ang tayo sa ating mga produkto kaya kailangan ng maayos na packaging ang mga ginagawang produkto mula sa ating bansa.
