Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of making trash bags.
  • Waste management is increasingly gaining attention and has now become a priority.
  • FR2709701 discloses a method that comprises manufacturing a plurality of bags and printing a barcode on each bag, said barcode being customizable for each bag.
  • the present invention has the object to obviate such drawbacks, by providing a method of making trash bags, which comprises manufacturing a plurality of bags and printing a barcode on each bag, said barcode being unique for each bag and the barcodes being associated with sequence numbers.
  • each bag or each group of bags may be assigned to a user, e.g. a citizen, and is traceable as it can be associated anytime to the citizen that has had it assigned.
  • barcodes are sequential, each user may a range of barcodes may have a range of barcodes assigned to him/her, for improved traceability.
  • the barcode is customized for each manufactured roll/stock, which makes it difficult to assign any number of bags to each user.
  • checks may be carried out, for assessing that separate waste collection is carried out properly.
  • such bags can be grouped into sets of bags.
  • Such sets may be advantageously rolls or bundles or the like.
  • a check for barcode correctness is provided for each set of bags.
  • said check is performed by reading each barcode of the bags that compose the set using automatic reading means.
  • Automatic reading of each barcode comprises software means allowing assessment of correct barcode printing on each bag and notification of any failure, such that the set of bags that has been found faulty may be removed and the barcodes may be printed on a new set of bags.
  • each barcode is read once the barcode has been printed on each bag and prior to formation of said set of bags.
  • said set of bags consists of a roll, said bags being joined together one after the other, and the roll being formed by spirally winding the joined bags, starting from an initial innermost bag and ending with a final outermost bag.
  • barcodes are sequence numbers from an initial number to a final number, and said barcode correctness check in each set of bags is carried out by reading the barcode of the final outermost bag and comparing said barcode of the final outermost bag with the barcode of the final outermost bag of the previous roll, or with the first printed barcode.
  • barcode correctness may be assessed by reading the barcode on the outermost bag of the roll, which is the last visible one, and by comparing it with the last barcode of the previous roll.
  • barcode printing is carried out such that the barcode of the final outermost bag is easily readable once the roll has been formed.
  • Such barcode correctness check allows the use of sequential bar codes, thereby providing the above advantages, with a good confidence in their correctness.
  • a white ink band of the same size as the barcode or larger is applied to each bag, the barcode being printed later, above said ink band.
  • such ink band avoids direct printing of barcodes on the bag, and creates an intermediate layer that promotes adhesion of the barcode ink to the bag.
  • the present invention also relates to a plant for manufacturing trash bags, comprising means for forming the bag and means for printing on the bag, such plant having means for printing a barcode on each bag, said barcode being unique for each bag and the barcodes being associated with sequence numbers, means being provided for checking the correctness of the printed barcodes.
  • said means for forming the bag generate said bags in a joined configuration one after the other, means being provided for forming rolls by spirally winding the joined bags, starting from an initial innermost bag and ending with a final outermost bag.
  • said means for checking the correctness of barcodes comprise automatic barcode reading means, processing software means for comparing said barcode of the final outermost bag with the barcode of the final outermost bag of the previous roll or with the first printed barcode, which processing software means control certification means for generating a certification label.
  • said bags are manufactured using the method as described above and claimed below.
  • the present invention also relates to a separate waste collection method, comprising the steps of:
  • said bags are manufactured using the method as described above and claimed below.
  • the present invention also relates to a trash bag having a printed barcode, said barcode being unique for said bag and the barcodes being associated with sequence numbers.
  • a white ink band is provided, which has the same size as or is larger than the bar code, and is designed to have said barcode printed thereon.
  • said bag is manufactured using the method as described above and claimed below.
  • Figure 1 shows a trash bag 1 having a printed barcode, said barcode being unique for said bag or a group of bags.
  • the barcode may be of the classical one-dimensional type, or may be of two-dimensional type, so-called datamatrix, such as a QR code.
  • Both the barcode 20 and the datamatrix barcode 21 are shown in the figure, and both encode the same identification number.
  • One or both of the barcodes may be printed on the bag.
  • both the barcode 20 and the datamatrix barcode 21 are printed on the bag, then they may be read by different reading means, and a consistency check may be carried out.
  • the bag also has a white ink band 10, which has the same size as or is larger than the barcode 20 or 21, and is designed to have said barcode 20 or 21 printed thereon.
  • the white ink band 10 is continuous and extends from the opening to the bottom of the bag. Therefore, it may be continuously applied during bag production, when bags are joined together one after the other.
  • Figure 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of the plant for manufacturing trash bags 1 of the present invention.
  • the plant comprises means for forming bags, not shown, which may be of any known type.
  • the plant further comprises means for generating rolls, which may also be of any known type.
  • the plant comprises applicator means 4 for applying a white ink band 10 to the bags 1, print means 5 for printing a barcode 20 on each bag 1 and means for checking the correctness of the printed barcodes.
  • Both said applicator means 4 for applying the white ink bad 10 and the print means 5 for printing the barcode 5 may include known printers respectively.
  • the means for checking the correctness of the barcodes 20 printed on each bag 1 comprise automatic reading means 6, processing software means 8 and certification means 7, which generate a certification label.
  • Said processing software means 8 may be the same means that control the emission of barcodes 20 by print means 5, store the manufacturing steps and note the various production cycles for manufacturing sequences of bags 1 with known numbers for the barcodes 20.
  • the bags 1 are manufactured by said forming means such that they are joined together one after the other.
  • the white ink band 10 is applied, and then a barcode 20 is printed on each bag 1, said barcode being unique for each bag or a group of bags.
  • the barcode 20 may be a conventional barcode and/or a datamatrix barcode 21.
  • the bags 1 may be grouped into sets of bags, which are preferably rolls 11, but may also be bundles, stacks or the like.
  • the rolls 11 are formed by spirally winding the joined bags 1, starting from an initial innermost bag and ending with a final outermost bag.
  • Each bag in each roll 11 has a unique and sequential barcode 20.
  • Each barcode 20 is read once the barcode 20 has been printed on each bag 1 and prior to formation of the roll 11.
  • the automatic reading means may include known one-dimensional barcode reading means, such as laser or LED systems, or datamatrix barcode reading means, such as camera-based computer vision means.
  • the above mentioned processing software means 8 allow assessment of correct printing of the barcode 20 on each bag 1 and notification of any failure.
  • a certification label 3 is generated and applied to the roll 11, to indicate the barcodes contained in the set of bags and certify correctness thereof.
  • Figure 3 shows a variant embodiment of the plant, in which each roll 11 has sequential barcodes 20 from an initial number to a final number.
  • the correctness of the barcodes 20 in each roll 11 is checked by reading the barcode 20 of the final outermost bag and comparing said barcode with the barcode 20 of the final outermost bag of the previous roll 11'.
  • the comparison is carried out by the processing software means 8, which control the certification means 7 that generate the certification label 3.
  • Figure 4 shows a block diagram of the separate waste collection method of the present invention.
  • a production unit 90 generates a plurality of bags, and prints a barcode on each bag, said barcode being unique for each bag or a group of bags.
  • the bags are grouped into rolls, as described above, and the barcodes in each roll are checked for correctness, whereupon a certification label 3 is emitted.
  • the rolls of bags are delivered from the production unit 90 to an intermediate user 91, e.g. an institution such as a municipality or the like.
  • the intermediate user 91 delivers the rolls of bags to a final user 92, typically a citizen, each barcode being associated to an ID code of the final user 92.
  • the final user 92 throws waste into bags and waste is collected by a collection unit 93.
  • the collection unit is equipped with barcode reading means, and reads the barcode during waste collection for checking that user's operations are correct, and is to generate warnings in case of errors or malfunctions.
  • All those concerned in the process may be interfaced with preferably web-based management software, providing limited credential-based access.
  • the production unit 90 may monitor the situation of roll batches and delivery thereof to the intermediate user 91.
  • the intermediate user 91 may assign the barcodes of the bags to the ID code of the final user, monitor bag consumption and order more bags.
  • the final user 92 may retrieve information about proper separate waste collection.
  • the collection unit 92 may notify the intermediate user 91 of any anomaly in the collected bag, without knowing which final user 92 generated the anomaly, thereby ensuring privacy protection.
