Packaging in Sweden - View of a Japanese Expatriate
(2013) In Journal of Packaging Science & Technology, Japan 22(3). p.205-211- Abstract
- This paper discusses how the author, a Japanese expatriate living in Sweden, perceives packaging in Sweden.

Concerning the usage, the main differences are found in the way packaging is used to keep the quality of the products as well as enhance the added-value of the products (e.g. decoration). This in turn may affect the extent of “sales by weight” of food items. As for the source separation of packaging waste, perceived main differences include what is expected to the consumers regarding cleaning and sorting, as well as what is considered... (More)
