The petrol is sold in plastic containers, and I was asked to develop a future packaging strategy for these products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"849\" src=\"http:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/04\/c56fcc4c-17e1-4aa4-a8df-714662ccb113-1024x849.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/04\/c56fcc4c-17e1-4aa4-a8df-714662ccb113-1024x849.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/04\/c56fcc4c-17e1-4aa4-a8df-714662ccb113-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/04\/c56fcc4c-17e1-4aa4-a8df-714662ccb113-768x637.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/04\/c56fcc4c-17e1-4aa4-a8df-714662ccb113.jpg 2040w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> When my great instructor Magnus gave me a tour in Hind\u00e5s <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the first weeks I learned more about alkylate petrol and plastics than I ever thought I would. I was through a thorough 2-week introduction program with my colleagues at Aspen. I read any reports I could get my hands on regarding plastics, and I attended a plastic conference at the UN city in Copenhagen, Bio Plastics conferences in both Copenhagen and Gothenburg, and finally an internal packaging seminar at the Lantmannen HQ in Stockholm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the first month I realised that the most common and impactful path to take with the plastic packaging was an effective return- and recycling system. I proceeded by looking at what the legislators did on local-, national- and international level, what other companies had done, and of course what could be done by us. I finished the project off by looking at a long-term solution with bio plastics instead of fossil-based plastic. After attending the bio plastics conferences I believe that a change of raw material for plastics will happen, but a major change is probably still some years ahead of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life has been good in Sweden the past seven months (Stockholm &amp; Gothenburg), but now it is time to move on to Chicago, where my next project is awaiting. I am going to work for Lantm\u00e4nnen Unibake, and will focus on digital marketing on the American market. I am looking forward to the challenges, as well as living the American dream for the first time in my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/04\/1400484392php7qGdJ02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/04\/1400484392php7qGdJ02.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/traineebloggen\/2019\/04\/1400484392php7qGdJ02-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay updated on the blog as Lovisa is about to drop a lit blogpost within few days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So long!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mikkel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi folks, My second rotation at Aspen in Hind\u00e5s (a metropol outside of Gothenburg) has ended, and it was one of the most exciting projects I have done.&nbsp;I was asked to develop a packaging strategy for Aspen, and quite quickly I decided to focus on a sustainable scope, as it is a great interest of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":203,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7559"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/203"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7559"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7559\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7562,"href":"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7559\/revisions\/7562"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7559"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7559"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.traineebloggen.se\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
