The Material Resources blog is no longer being updated! However, you can follow me on Twitter, drop in to my Posterous where I occasionally post things and of course check out IOM3's superb new website (which I manage) at www.iom3.org On the latter you'll find dozens of new articles every month by materials, minerals and mining professionals, as well as a host of other essential information on IOM3 services and communities, and improved features including forums and content alerts. Look forward to seeing you there!

Best wishes

Packaging bodies collaborate to help Ghana crops

Ghana newspaper The Statesman reports that South African firm Nampak and the Woodstock Institute for Science and Service to Humanity is working with the Institute of Packaging, Ghana to develop a system of preserving and packaging fresh plantain, tomatoes and mangoes in a bid to reduce post-harvest losses. The lack of modern methods and technology of preserving food crops in Ghana means that many fruits, vegetables and tubers rot after investing. The system being developed will help the export and packaging industries store and package several perishable agricultural products. The IOPG's site appears to be down but their details can be found on this site.
