aluminum can by about 30% and lightened the 8-ounce bottle by about 50%. In sourcing for the right materials in the production of one of their latest breakthrough technologies of Coca-Cola, the company encountered various issues. PlantBottle is the first ever-recyclable PET plastic beverage bottle initially made partially from plants in 2009. It differs from the traditional PET bottle because of the material used in making the bottle. The traditional PET plastic is manufactured by using fossil fuels,

an overview of the smart materials. The various types of smart material are also presented in this paper. To get the clear idea about the smart materials, its definition and types are explained briefly. Some of the types of these include piezoelectric materials, magneto-rheostatic materials, electro-rheostatic materials, and shape memory alloys piezoelectric, Varieties of smart materials already exist, and research is being carried out extensively to derive new materials. Applications

composites are used for their superior mechanical properties and advantages for applications in aerospace and transportation. Delamination is a mode of failure for composite materials. Modes of failure are also known as ‘failure mechanisms’. Delamination is a problem associated with drilling fiber-reinforced composite materials. In this sample, the effects of feed speed, rotational speed and drill geometry on the resulting delamination factor are comparable in spite of the drill point angle used. A

bags. Some Smart shoppers choose to use paper bags instead of plastic assuming that it is an environmentally friendly and better alternative. Paper Bags are usually made up of plant fibers substance from fibrous cellulose materials as rags, woods, or barks. Paper bags were invented in the 1850’s. Paper bags are recyclable. Well known grocery stores, supermarkets, fast food chain, establishment and markets uses brown paper bags to hold their items since there are laws that are
