Such equipment is called a blisterline. There are two types of blister machine' design: rotary and flat-plate, depending on the mechanism for sealing the lidding foil.
Plastic recycling is low in the waste hierarchy, meaning that reduction and reuse are more favourable and long-term solutions for sustainability. It has been advocated since the early 1970s, [ 116 ] but due to economic and technical challenges, did not impact the management of plastic waste to any significant extent until the late 1980s.
Depending on the application, they may be constructed from glass or plastic, [5] in a wide range of volumes. [6] The mouth of the Erlenmeyer flask may have a beaded lip that can be stoppered or covered. Alternatively, the neck may be fitted with ground glass or other connector for use with more specialized stoppers or attachment to other apparatus.
