Company history[edit]
Tupperware was developed in 1948 by Earl Silas Tupper (1907–83) in Leominster, Massachusetts.[3] He developed plastic containers used in households to contain food and keep it airtight. The formerly patented "burping seal" is a famous aspect of Tupperware, which distinguished it from competitors.
Tupperware pioneered the direct marketing strategy made famous by the Tupperware party. Brownie Wise (1913–92), a former sales representative of Stanley Home Products, developed the strategy. During the early 1950s, Tupperware's sales and popularity exploded, thanks in large part to Wise's influence among women who sold Tupperware, and some of the famous "jubilees" celebrating the success of Tupperware ladies at

    The Orion Market Research Study reveals a great deal of useful information regarding Culinarian’s target demographic. Despite the many options to purchase remotely (via online vendors or mail order catalogues), purchases from retail locations account for 85% of total sales. See Exhibit B for details. This is strong evidence that consumers want to evaluate the quality and style of the cookware at the time of purchase. 75% of consumers in the study already own more than 5 pieces of cookware. See Exhibit C for more details. The majority of households in the Orion study had either given or received cookware as a gift, which aligns with evidence suggesting that cookware sales are seasonal – purchasing peaks occur in May and June (wedding season) and November and December (the holiday season).…

    First of all, Appert was not able to explain why his method of canning worked. After a half a century, Louis Pasteur, a French Chemist explained how the microbes and germs corresponded with food spoilage. This supported why Appert’s method of preserving food worked. Another correction to Appert’s method was made by Peter Durand in 1810 when he made a patent “…1810 to use metal containers which were easy to make and hard to break.” His process was to take iron cans and plate them with tin. His invention was the “tin can” and is now widely used. Durand covered the iron cans with tin to make it water resistant since regular iron would rust. This also solved the problem where the glass bottles would often break with the durable metal that wouldn’t break. All together many people worked to perfect and make the canning process a seamless design that would boost canning to a world wide scale.…

    Before the 1900s, tin was commonly used to package household foods. Since it protected the foods inside, and it could be bent with ease, it was regarded as an inexpensive, easy and health conscious way to keep foods fresh. Some of its disadvantages, which lead to its defeat to aluminum, included the fact that it could only be rolled thicker than aluminum; it became brittle when warm, reducing its malleability greatly, and the tin foil created a strange aftertaste, which was undesirable to many.…

    Diego Rodrigues Mendes Alves Course: Paper or plastic Paper or Plastic? Can we answer the question? Why should we be worried about the kind of bag we use to carry our purchases? We have to make so many decisions when we are shopping that we should not have to be worried about how we will carry our things home. However, if you want to help the environment and our society to decrease the wasting of materials and pollutants, and as a consequence improve our quality of life, you should be concerned about the kind of bag you are using. According to the Plastic Industry Trade Association, the plastic bag was introduced to the market in 1957. In 1966 plastic arrived in grocery stores and at the end of 1996 four out of five grocery bags were plastic. After 56 years, plastic bags are in almost every grocery store, supermarket, restaurant, diner, shoe, clothing store and every department of stores that we have available in our society. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, more than 380 billion plastic bags, sacks and wraps are consumed in the United Sates of America every year. Yet, a traditional family accumulates 60 plastic bags in only four trips to the grocery store. How about paper bags? According to Forum Garden, the paper bag was invented in 1860. In 1869, the Union Company of Pennsylvania developed a better paper bag machine (Forum Garden). From that era, paper bags were used to carry groceries and small things. Of course, the consumption of goods in that time was very little compared with today. Plastic took over the market right after its invention and since 1966 plastic bags are the main bag used worldwide. Why? In the marketplace, what is less expensive usually reigns as businesses look to cut costs and this case was not an exception. Companies spend less money making and using plastic bags than paper bags. But most of the time, our society is not concerned about which one has been used for two main reasons. First, people just need bags to put their…

    Plastic Pollution

    "Plastic" entered the world through chemistry in 1909 and was originally coined to describe Bakelite, the first fully synthetic resin. What make's plastic so unique is when it is heated it can be molded but it retained its shape when cooled (Reddy, 2010). The modern plastic bag was not possible until the accidental discovery of the first industrially practical method of polyethylene synthesis in 1933. Fast forward to today, the use and manufacturing of polyethylene have seen rapid growth and has come from four percent of the world's petroleum(Sang, 2011). It's been less than 30 years since the introduction of the plastic grocery bag but experts estimate that our current use of plastic bags is 500 million to 1 trillion per year.…
