Decision opens door for recycled board in liquor packaging

摘要

The paper packaging industry's environmental council (PPEC) has scored a major breakthrough by persuading the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) to change its shipping rules for wine and liquor boxes. Effective immediately, the LCBO will allow its suppliers the option of using the edge crush test (ECT) as an alternative to the burst strength (or Mullen) test that it has used for more than 20 years to assess the delivery performance of corrugated packaging.
