Executive Summary The growing utilization of plastics in industrial and consumer applications, combined with increased consumer awareness surrounding solid waste recycling, has led to an increased demand for recycled plastic resins and products. One of the fastest growing types of collected plastic materials for recycling is polyethylene terephthalate ("PET") from post-consumer beverage and water bottles. N2 SAVE WORLD will capitalize on the opportunities in the recycled resin and packaging markets

Recycling of plastics is a serious problem of countries. People do not know its serious effects, so the statistic of recycling of plastics decreased in the recent year and the number of used plastics is increasing quickly. Countries also give some possible solution to solve this problem. According to Marino (2002,p.8) 800,000 tonnes of household collected in Australia from kerbsides each year and the rate of recycling PVC bottles decreased 3% from 1999 to now. Furthermore, the plastic of cars

What do you think the cleanliness in Malaysia? In general, I think the cleanliness in Malaysia is very good. I like the scene in Malaysia, I saw many kinds of plants I have never seen before. Most of the places are clean, furthermore, the air is fresh. However, some streets are not so clean, especially some restaurants. Sometimes I only eat but can’t think more, because I always saw some cats lick the plates. Moreover, I have seen how some restaurants clean the plates, they just put the

Fundamentals of Ultrasonics - PLASTICS please click for enlargement Variations of Joint Designs or Energy Directors For the design of plastic parts for assembly with ultrasonic energy, many recommendations exist to save time, energy and tooling modifications. The first step for a designer is to determine the most suitable joining technique. The following variations are possible: Ultrasonic Welding Ultrasonic Swaging, Staking, Spot-Welding Ultrasonic Insertion Ultrasonic

SAILOR PEN COMPANY This is a company of Japan for Mr. Kyugoro Sakata who was an engineer from Hiroshima opened. He had to demonstrate a fountain pen by his close friend that was British sailor. Sakata was impressed by design and function of this fountain pen; he decided to begin a company to craft the finest writing instruments in the world in 1911. In horror his friend he chose the name Sailor Pen. The first factory was opened in Hiroshima and still exists for today with hoped that Sailor

plants share similarities regarding processing and production. During the production process molding begins after plastic pallets are heated through a screw barrel and converted into a liquid state. Plastic parts are created by pressure injecting the liquid plastic in to a mold. Once the mold has been filled excess liquid plastic remains on contact points around the mold. The excess plastic has to be trimmed and removed before the final product can be approved for further assembly. The excess trimmings

recovery (accumulation of the biopolymer in the bacteria causes them to become fragile) and less waste biomass are all advantages of using genetically-engineered E. Coli. By also genetically engineering plants such as cress and potatoes, biodegradable plastics can also be produced cheaply. The plants create the biopolymer instead of storing starch. • The polymers made from plants have the same structure as those produced by bacteria. The significance of these methods of production is that Biopol is produced

With gas prices rising and the economy tanking, maybe we all (that includes car audio enthusiasts) need to take some cost-cutting measures. I decided to take a car that had an install in it for years and update it. There's a lot of carbon fiber in the rest of the car, and I wanted to use carbon fiber in the sub box to match the theme. I also wanted this box to be as light as possible. I took a piece of 12-inch PVC left over from another project and decided to use that for the box shape. This enclosure

leather waste. Moreover the aim is to reduce the environmental pollution. My research work was conducted to make bioapplicable materials from polyester resin reinforced with scrap leather fiber. The resulting polymer composite has been named “Leather Plastic”. One of the most important objectives of my research work is to use natural leather fiber which is biodegradable. So a definite amount of polyester resin could be replaced by natural fiber, which is very important to our environment. Manufacturing
