Biaxially Oriented Polyamide, or BOPA films, are extremely lightweight, environmentally friendly and offer a high degree of protection to goods while in transit. They can also withstand extreme environmental conditions, making them an ideal choice in packaging perishable commodities such as foodstuffs. They also help eliminate moisture, prolonging their lifespans.

A number of green spaces are anticipated for the BOPA films market across major end-use industrial verticals. Domains such as consumer goods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals are also adopting them to offer sustainable packaging solutions. In the pharmaceutical sector, these are employed to make blood & parental nutrition bags.

These widespread applications will generate favorable growth conditions for the BOPA films market in the future.

«Heightening demand for flexible packaging solutions is generating opportunities for manufacturers to introduce new solutions by incorporating recycled and sustainable alternatives to acquire a competitive edge,» says the FMI analyst.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The majority of Americans in Generation Z, ages 18 to 24, reported they first experienced chronic neck, shoulder or back pain when they were younger than age 16, according to survey results released today from the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about the value of chiropractic care.

To view an infographic of the survey findings, click here.

To manage this pain, 200 surveyed Americans indicate that 44% embrace a combination of drug-free, natural pain management methods, such as chiropractic care, massage and stretching, as well as conventional methods such as visiting a medical doctor and/or taking medication.

The top reason Generation Z pursues non-conventional pain management methods is effectiveness. Nearly 31% of survey respondents stated the efficacy of drug-free, natural pain management methods was a more important deciding factor than cost (24%) and convenience (20%). That is also likely part of the reason why more than 63% of survey respondents reported being «somewhat» or «very» interested in chiropractic care while 17% have already received such care.

«We are very encouraged by the results of our survey, which explores an only marginally studied topic among this younger generation,» said Sherry McAllister, DC, executive vice president of the F4CP. «Younger Americans seem to be recognizing that pharmacological pain management methods alone deliver only short-term relief without addressing the underlying causes of chronic neuro-musculoskeletal pain that can often start at an early age. Hopefully, the awareness of the effective, long-term pain relief and mobility benefits of chiropractic and other types of non-pharmacological care will continue throughout their life to relieve pain, but also to prevent it and its associated causes.»

Pain experience starts young
When asked about their neck, shoulder and back pain, 18% of survey participants reported they first felt pain before the age of ten; 36% between the ages of 11 and 15 and 37% first felt discomfort between the ages of 16 and 20.

School sports and other frequent physical activity poses an added risk of injury or damage to joints, ligaments and tendons leading to pain. While parents or other clinicians may attribute pain at this young age to «growth spurts» or «growing pain,» it is best to err on the side of caution and get helpful advice to ensure patient health.

Generation Z’s early pain onset demonstrates the importance of engaging in a careful consultation with a qualified clinician, like a doctor of chiropractic (DC), who specializes in neuro-musculoskeletal pain to carefully determine the root cause and develop an evidence-based plan to alleviate the pain and protect the affected area.

«For most younger patients, pain relief and recovery can be accomplished through safe, drug-free care methods where they can then continue to participate in sports and other activities and improve their performance,» Dr. McAllister explained. «This is another reason why so many professional sports teams and the U.S. Olympic athletes have a doctor of chiropractic on their training staff.»

Other noteworthy results from the survey include:

• Poor sleep posture caused pain. While technology has been identified as a contributor to neuro-musculoskeletal conditions such as «tech neck», nearly three-quarters (73%) of Generation Z survey respondents reported their chronic pain was caused by their sleep position, followed by sports or exercise (45%) and carrying a heavy bag (39%).
• Pain is medium and mostly not improving. More than half (54%) of respondents classified their risk for persistent pain as «medium.» Meanwhile, only 36% of survey respondents said their chronic pain is improving while the remainder reported it is getting worse (36%) or staying the same (28%).
• Chiropractic care should be covered. Generation Z not only embraces chiropractic care, but they believe health insurers should pay for it, too. Nearly 64% stated they believe chiropractic care should be covered by insurers, followed by physical therapy (61%); and massage, cupping, reiki and reflexology (50%).

«While chronic pain is mostly associated with older adults, the results of this survey indicate that as an industry, healthcare providers need to recognize and address the early signs of muscle and joint dysfunction much sooner in younger patients,» Dr. McAllister concluded. «With a safe, effective and drug-free care plan in place, providers can help establish the habits and behaviors that guide younger patients toward a lifelong path of optimal health and well-being.»

Survey details
Respondents to the random, online survey of 200 U.S. consumers conducted in late June 2020 were 58% female and 42% male. Respondents ranged in age from 18-24.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Iowa employers seeking job-ready talent now have a FREE resource to post jobs: the Iowa Community Colleges Jobs Consortium website, powered by College Central Network, Inc. (CCN).

The (https://CollegeCentral.com/iaccjobs) website makes it both FREE and easy for all employers—large and small, public and private—to register just once and then post an unlimited number of jobs to Iowa’s community college students and alumni! This is an extraordinarily useful resource for employers hiring in today’s climate, even with temporarily closed or restricted campuses, and students having to return home.

Employers posting jobs today can simultaneously reach tens of thousands of job seekers from Des Moines Area Community College, Eastern Iowa Community Colleges, Hawkeye Community College, and Iowa Valley Community College District.

Joy Miller, CCN’s Career Services Central® National Sales Manager explains, «As we enter the fall semester, employers still need to target timely job postings in response to COVID-19.»

In addition, organizations are looking to hire college students and alumni willing and able to jump in to meet their state’s, regions’, or cities’ specific hiring environment. The timing now is ideal, with Iowa’s community colleges well positioned to help their State’s economy rebound fast, and to quickly fill the State’s hiring needs in an era of rapid economic and technological change.

«Many employers post jobs at the closest community colleges,» Miller added. «But, with the Consortium, there is a synergy. Employers can easily extend their reach without additional effort. Posting just once, they can go statewide or target a specific combination of regional Iowa community colleges.»

CCN’s Career Services Central® is the exclusive online career office management platform for career centers at all schools participating in the Consortium. Joy Miller sums it up: «Community colleges can have a great impact on the State’s economy. The Iowa Community Colleges Jobs Consortium website allows employers to easily recruit the state’s home-grown entry-level talent by removing as many barriers as possible, simplifying the hiring process. This is especially critical given the added current complications of closed campuses and remote learning.»

With more than 23,000 undergraduates*, Des Moines Area Community College is the State’s largest community college. According to Sara Clayton, Career Center Coordinator at the college, «Graduates of Iowa community colleges overwhelmingly pursue employment in state, making up a large proportion of Iowa’s workforce and contributing directly to the state’s economic growth. This new jobs Consortium will allow our employer partners to tap into the talented pool of Iowa community college graduates in an easy, efficient way.»

Rob Schadt, Academic Advisor & Career Services Coordinator at Eastern Iowa Community Colleges stated: «Recruiters like the ease of posting just once to access the talent at all Iowa Consortium members’ community colleges. Our graduates have the skills, and they are eager to move directly into the local workforce now.»

Schadt added: «Our colleges train our State’s students to mesh with Iowa’s needs, and our graduates are who today’s employers are looking to hire. Employers who post to the Consortium are specifically looking to hire students and alumni who want to work in Iowa. It should be noted that our community college graduates almost exclusively accept job offers in the state, and that makes this a workforce win-win.»

Rachel Evans, Career Services Center Coordinator at Hawkeye Community College emphasized, «Signing up just once provides an employer with unlimited posting opportunities statewide! The Consortium is able to offer a fast, user-friendly, and streamlined resource to access talent with a single registration.»

Evans added, «There is a broad range of talent that graduates from the Consortium’s colleges bring to the workforce, including automotive technology, business, child development, computer information systems, healthcare, manufacturing, education, construction, and much more.»

MaryAnne Zanella Nickle, M.ED., Dean at Iowa Valley Community College District, pointed out, «Job postings are free of charge to all Iowa employers. This is a useful and free resource that can connect you with qualified students and alumni across the state. Iowa’s emerging two-year graduates, funded by Iowans to specifically meet the needs of the state’s workforce, finally have a much-needed path for our state’s employers to hire and retain local community college talent!»

Nickle added: «Our Consortium’s combined undergraduate reach in Iowa is huge and will continue to expand as additional colleges join in. The Consortium will deliver our State’s employers a diverse mix of qualified students and alumni who are highly skilled and motivated to jump right into our workforce!»

Statistics show that approximately 47,909 students attend Iowa community colleges.*

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 5, 2020   Fresh consumer research and travel data from Vrbo® indicate a new fluidity in how families are vacationing the rest of this year. Call it the rise of the Flexcation, an emerging travel trend where families book vacation rental trips later in August, September and October, consider staying longer to mix work and play, and often get better value in high-demand locales.

Key findings from a nationwide Vrbo survey of families point directly to a Flexcation mindset [1]:

• 50% of those surveyed agreed that flexible school schedules provide more flexibility in vacationing, while 48% said they can work from anywhere
• 21% of respondents said that working from anywhere creates big opportunities for travel during the second half of 2020
• 67% said «I just need a change of scenery» when asked why they might take a family vacation through year-end, suggesting new motivation for getting away apart from traditional seasonal trips
• Vacation rentals ranked first among types of vacations respondents say they want to take now through December, specifically to «spend time with family and friends (they) haven’t seen»

«This summer, we’ve seen countless families switch to road trips and rent private vacation homes instead of taking traditional vacations. What’s interesting is the shift in when people are traveling and how families are blending vacation time with working from home or remote learning,» said Vrbo president Jeff Hurst. «Families can use this flexibility as an opportunity to travel outside of peak seasons and try new experiences, like seeing the mountain leaves change, catching the first snow of the season, or visiting the beach when it isn’t as hot.»

Longer Stays, Uncrowded Destinations, Good Value

Recent Vrbo travel data indicates families want to take longer vacations – interest in one-week and three- or four-week stays have grown relative to the total number of searches, up 25% and 15%, respectively, compared to the same time last year [2].

Flexcationers who wait until later in the season to visit top destinations are also being rewarded with attractive prices. Popular destinations such as Cape Cod, MA; Cape May, NJ; and Ocean City, MD are experiencing both a drop of at least 20% in average nightly rates and fewer crowds for the months of August through October compared to prime summer travel dates [3, 4]. Prices for vacation rentals typically drop during shoulder season, the time period after Labor Day and before the holiday travel season. Families who are not tied to strict in-person school or office commitments can benefit from fewer crowds and lower prices by choosing later travel dates.

Flexibility and Family Vacations: Reestablishing Balance
In addition to allowing families to get away during months they might not traditionally travel, Flexcations also can give them a break and an opportunity to relax. After months of sheltering in place, a change in scenery is an ideal way to reestablish a healthy sense of balance.

According to an NYU study, people feel happier when they have more variety in their daily routines – when they go to novel places and have a wider array of experiences.

«Though this year has been incredibly difficult for families, it’s inspiring to see how they have become resilient and resourceful by choosing alternative ways and dates to take vacation,» said Lish Kennedy, vice president of brand marketing at Vrbo. «More flexibility in our work and school schedules is allowing families to enjoy a welcome change in their surroundings and a relaxing break together.»

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Purina’s robust portfolio of pet care products for dogs and cats is now getting to pet food bowls and litter boxes in a more sustainable way. Known for trusted brands spanning dog food, cat food, treats and litter, Purina announced today it has reached the company’s 2020 goal to achieve zero waste for disposal across all manufacturing operations and its corporate headquarters.

«Purina is passionate about pets and the planet, and sustainability is a central factor in our operations and product development,» said John Bear, Vice President of Manufacturing. «I’m incredibly proud of the effort it took to accomplish this goal of being zero waste across our operations. This achievement is a testament to the passion and commitment of our more than 8,000 employees across the country who are working to create a better world for us to share with our pets.»

Achieving zero waste for disposal means that all 21 of Purina’s manufacturing sites and its St. Louis Headquarters have found ways to derive benefits from materials that would have otherwise been discarded. All locations now recycle, reuse, recover or compost waste from daily operations. In certain cases, locations also may utilize destinations that convert waste to energy to generate power. Purina products feed 49 million dogs and 66 million cats every year, so reaching 100 percent across all Purina brands and factories was no small feat.

The company-wide commitment was achieved thanks to local teams and local solutions. Each site began with an in-depth review to understand its waste streams. This fueled passion within the facility to identify solutions and improve processes to minimize waste generation at the source while also identifying credible vendors that could support efforts to handle remaining materials in a sustainable way. Some of the materials from Purina facilities even transform into the company’s Yesterday’s News alternative cat litter, which uses recycled paperboard as a key ingredient. 

«Pet lovers care about how their pets’ food and litter are made, and that it’s done in a responsible way, and we couldn’t agree more,» said Gopi Sandhu, Director of Sustainable Operations at Purina. «By focusing on reducing waste and finding beneficial uses for materials that would have otherwise been discarded, Purina employees lead the charge by driving innovation towards a more circular economy.  Some of our former waste materials now become soil amendments, needed to grow our healthy ingredients. Others are converted to methane, which is then captured to fuel the types of carbon-neutral energy we increasingly rely on.»

Purina is working toward a global ambition for zero environmental impact in its operations by 2030, and achieving zero waste is a significant step in that journey. Purina is also committed to sourcing ingredients responsibly, caring for water, making the packaging for all of its pet care products 100 percent recyclable or reusable by 2025 and acting on climate change with a goal of achieving 100 percent renewable electricity at all of our sites.
