IMPFT154K Principles of plastic and cellulose films for food and drink
Overview
This standard is about the principles of plastic and cellulose based packaging material for food and drink. It is about understanding the source, use and suitability of these films and material to the food and drink sector. This standard is for you if you require a detailed understanding of plastic and cellulose packaging material for food and drink products.
You need to know the origins and source of raw material for the material and how it is processed for use. You need to understand the types of material available and its functions. You also need to know the importance of the material in marketing and labelling of products and the issues around its disposal and sustainable use.
Knowledge and understanding
You need to know and understand:
1 what the origins and sources are of plastic and cellulose packaging material
2 functions and properties of different thermoplastic and their applications for food and drink
3 how plastic and cellulose packaging materials can be used as part of a sustainable policy approach to packaging material
4 what the business advantages might be for using plastic and cellulose packaging material over other types of packaging material
5 what the limitations and regulations are in the use of food safe packaging material
6 the structure of cellulose and its properties in providing a packaging medium
7 how cellulose is processed into food safe packaging material
8 the purpose of cellulose packaging of food products
9 the grades of cellulose film available, their functionality and use of codes
10 the typical uses for cellulose packaging material for food products
11 the suitability of cellulose based packaging material in the freezing and storage of food products
12 how polythene films are made
13 the properties and functionality of low density and high density polyethylene films
14 how polypropylene films are made
15 the properties and functionality of cast, oriented and coated oriented polypropylene films
16 polyethylene terephthalate (PET) properties, functionality and use
17 the properties and functionality polyvinylchloride and polyvinylidenechoride films and their use as cling films
18 how polycarbonate packaging material is made
19 the properties and functionality of polycarbonate packaging material
20 the typical uses for polycarbonate packaging material for food and drink products
