Communication and Biodegradable Packaging Relationship: A Paradigm for Final Disposal

Solid waste generation is estimated to increase from 1.3 billion to 2.2 billion tons by 2025, causing environmental, social, and consequently public health problems. The biggest problem in this regard involves the inadequate disposal of waste, and in emerging countries like Brazil, it is sorted less waste for recycling or composting. In this context, plastic packaging is more complex due to the high polymer composition, as well as low recycling rates. Bioplastics appear as alternatives because they are mostly biodegradable. Given the various functions of packaging and a systematic review of the literature, the aim of this study was to discuss the communicational aspects directly related to bioplastic packaging and to present how the communication function in packaging can contribute to providing relevant information to consumers, to minimize the problem of improper disposal. This paper concluded that communication, whether in plastic or bioplastic packaging should be an agent of environmental education. Thus, promoting essential actions in the people such as non-generation, reduction, reuse, and recycling of waste, consequently, generating a solution cycle that allows the development of a circular economy

A perspectiva da indústria 4.0 sobre a filosofia de gestão Lean Manufacturing/ The industry 4.0 perspective on Lean Manufacturing management philosophy

O Lean Manufacturing é uma filosofia de gestão amplamente conhecida que visa melhorar continuamente o valor agregado de produtos e serviços na perspectiva dos clientes à medida que elimina os desperdícios. Após aproximadamente 60 anos, as inovações tecnológicas concedem espaço para um novo modelo denominado Indústria 4.0. Assim sendo, por se tratarem de abordagens distintas, este artigo tem o propósito de integrar os conceitos e ferramentas da Indústria 4.0 e do Lean Manufacturing. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica para identificação dos principais conceitos sobre os dois modelos, possibilitando a exploração de suas relações. Os resultados mostram que o Lean Manufacturing e a Indústria 4.0 não são técnicas semelhantes e tampouco competem entre si. Pelo contrário, são modelos que se complementam e fortalecem principalmente a questão de integração

O consumidor brasileiro como barreira para implementação de inovações tecnológicas em embalagens de carne bovina in natura

The aim of this paper is to analyze how the Brazilian consumer can influence the implementation of new technologies in innovations in fresh- beef packaging. The research method used consisted of interviews of experts working in research and industry, preferably those working with packaging and, whenever possible, with beef. It was observed that the Brazilian consumer can influence and even be a barrier to the implementation of new technologies in fresh beef packaging, due as much to their culture of resistance to change as to their persisting practice of basing purchasing decisions solely on the price. Hence, the industry manages its packaging- related activities based on cost, making difficult the introduction of new technologies in packaging. Other factors that contribute to this are the lack of relevant knowledge and the neglect of information sharing in the chain

See Now Buy Now: Desafios e Oportunidades no Desenvolvimento de Novos Produtos de Moda Sustentáveis do Mercado de Luxo na Era das Mídias Sociais

Digital Transformation and social media have influenced retail advertising and created new forms of commerce, consumers are constantly accessing Facebook, Instagram and Twitter as well as various applications to make immediate product purchase decisions. In this market scenario where consumer interaction and immediacy became important items to be considered by fashion brands, the "See Now Buy Now" (SNBN) business model emerges as a response to this new market. This change, where the product is available for sale right after the runway show and collections launch, causes alterations in supply chain planning and the whole process of new product development, requiring a more flexible and adapted NPD (new product development) with new processes and timelines. Thus, this article aims to propose a holistic, hypothetical and sustainable NPD model based on the Agile Stage-Gate theory, within the SNBN theme, with the interaction of the lead user as the process development metric.A transformação digital e as mídias sociais influenciaram a publicidade varejista e criaram novas formas de comércio, os consumidores a todo instante estão acessando o Facebook, o Instagram e o Twitter, bem como vários aplicativos para tomar decisões imediatas de compra de produtos. Nesse cenário mercadológico onde a interação do consumidor e o imediatismo se tornaram itens importantes a serem considerados pelas marcas de moda o modelo de negócios See Now Buy Now (SNBN) surge como uma resposta a esse novo mercado. Essa mudança onde o produto está disponível para a venda logo após os desfiles e lançamentos de coleções provoca mudanças no planejamento da cadeia de suprimentos e de todo o processo de desenvolvimento de novos produtos, exigindo um Processo de Desenvolvimento de Produto (PDP) mais flexível e adaptado aos novos processos e prazos. Assim, esse artigo tem o propósito de propor um modelo holístico, hipotético e sustentável de PDP baseado na teoria Agile Stage-Gate, dentro da temática do SNBN, tendo a interação do usuário líder como métrica de desenvolvimento do processo

Integration practices for the technological innovation of products: Case studies at two large technological companies

Studies on innovation and technology management have emphasized the importance of integration between the research and development (R&D) department and others involved with the product development process (PDP) as a relevant practice for the good performance of technological innovation of product activities. This study addresses the topic of transfers of technologies to new product projects and also integration practices between the R&D department and others involved with the PDP.
