Critical Reflection

 One of the goals that I had set at the start of this module was to further improve my communication skills which would better equip me for my line of work in future. Now that this module is coming to a close, I am glad that I have actually managed to build on my communication skills through the many things I have learnt throughout this module. The most impactful concept that was taught to me and helped achieve this goal was the Paul-Elder framework.

In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano which I had took lessons for since I was young. Although, I dropped out of lessons when I got older as I disliked being forced to play classical ...

Summary Reader Response Final Draft

Most of the packaging used in the modern world does an excellent job of preserving the cleanliness of our food which prevents food-related illnesses. However, this comes at the cost of a large amount of plastic being thrust into our environment. In the packaging industry, 50% of the plastics produced from fossil fuels are used for food packaging (Ncube et al.,2020). The article “Spray-on, Rinse Off Food ‘Wrapper’, Can Cut Plastic Packaging”, written by (Jones, 2022) , introduces a revolutionary solution capable of food preservation whilst being environmentally friendly: a biodegradable fibre, pullulan, is applied through “focused rotary jet spinning” (FRJS) and is spun around the food, functioning as a wrapper which can be easily washed off upon consumption. These fine fibres have been “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and are “laced with naturally occurring antimicrobial ingredients—thyme oil, citric acid and nisin” (MacPherson, 2022) , wh...
