Lightweight and Recyclable Cases for the Military

Abstract

This projects goal was to demonstrate and validate environmentally friendly Meal, Ready-to-Eat coated corrugated fiberboard ration cases to replace the current solid fiberboard cases used by the Army. Pallet loads of these cases were manufactured, assembled and tested for performance in comparison to the existing control fiberboard. These cases were lightweight and recyclable and reduce the amount of solid waste for the military. The cases performed comparable to the control case in all testing and is a potential container for many military packaging applications.
