Construction and infrastructural development are the cornerstone of contemporary economic progress, changing landscapes and building the cities of the future. Yet these essential processes of digging up the topsoil can cause unavoidable upheaval, turning green ground brown and leaving large areas of loose soil exposed to the elements. Bare, active build sites are vulnerable and when rain falls...

The network of underground pipelines in the world is the invisible circulatory system of modern industrial civilization moving vast volumes of oil, natural gas, water and volatile chemical compounds over long distances across some of the most difficult topography on our planet. These vital conduits take the form of buried cables resting deep in the Earth's crust, so they are instantly battling...

Over the past several decades, the world of packaging has shifted dramatically from rigid, heavy containers to lightweight and highly efficient alternatives. As consumer goods companies seek out materials to help protect their products from embrittlement due to environmental exposure, they also look for materials that can provide a creative blank canvas for brand narratives. In this pursuit of...

The global logistics world is rapidly evolving as companies are seeking to reduce their carbon emissions while maintaining operational capabilities. If you were to transport cargo anywhere, there would be plastic wrap or other similar lines of single-use packaging material that provided structural integrity but resulted in a plethora of environmental degradation spanning an epoch. The...

Over the last few decades, the world of industrial packaging has changed dramatically from traditional burlap, jute and heavy-duty paper to stronger and more affordable synthetic materials. Polypropylene (PP) woven bag – the product packaging medium that is taking the world by storm, transforming even the basket as we know it for commodities storage and transport, etc. They take advantage...

A product goes from the factory floor to the end consumer through an intricate and turbulent ecosystem of logistics, where physical dangers lurk around every corner. Industrial pallet loads - often weighing in thousands of pounds and stacked several feet high - are forced to endure a continuous barrage of vibrations, jolting movements, hard turns, and environmental stressors on their journey....

Urbanization and infrastructural development in India are racing at lightning speeds, transforming multi mile swathes of land into a scene from an operating theatre. Although a couple of these projects represent economic development, 18 000 hectares of topsoil are left exposed to wind and rain, making them easy prey to soil erosion. When rain falls on an open, disturbed job site this breaks...

The foundation of the global energy and utility infrastructure consists of colossal pipe networks that transport water, oil, gas, and chemical resources across the world's most adverse terrains. These pipelines are designed to endure both interior pressures and environmental forces at work for many decades of continuous service, but maintaining their structural integrity is the top concern of...

The global packaging environment is undergoing an enormous evolution as a result of rapidly shifting consumer habits, stringent environmental guidelines and the perpetual temptation for brands to turn heads on retail shelves. In the midst of this evolution, Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) material has turned out to be a progressive solution that is changing how products are preserved,...

In recent decades packaging has undergone radical changes, moving from natural fibers such as jute and cotton to highly engineered synthetics. Fijobs: White Paper on Seven Rules for Great Product Packaging — In the current industrial environment, businesses around the world are looking for packaging materials with the best strength-to-cost ratio and structural integrity. Of all the...
