Arunpillai wants to know Recycling Plastic 7 years ago
I personally feel that recycling is one of the most simplest steps that can be taken by a 'busy' individual in an effort to stay sustainably. Especially when it comes to plastic which is the most harmful for our environment. But is recycling plastic as confusing as this article makes it to be?

Nivethitha posted a question Difference between bioplastics,bio-based plastics and biodegradable plastics 7 years ago
There is often a marked confusion for a lay man when it comes to bio based plastics and bio degradable plastics. The most common assumption is that a bio based plastic will degrade and is not durable. Could anybody precisely differentiate between the two terminologies “bio based” and “bio degradable”?

"several petrochemical (co-)polymers exist that are biodegradable. Usually, the share of biogenic carbon in the plastic determines its bio degradability." Are some petrochemical polymers biodegradable? I did not know that! Would like to have some examples And what is the meaning of biogenic carbon? I thought all carbon in petroleum originated from bio-sources, and as a consequence, all carbon in polymers will also be biogenic?? Someone please clarify

Narsi wants to know Waste plastic to diesel recycling and gasification facility set for UK 7 years ago
Approval has been given in the UK to build a facility which will produce over 4.2 million litres of diesel from over 6,000 tonnes of end-of-life plastic.
Bristol City Council gave the green light to waste management firm SITA UK's application to build an end-of-life plastics to diesel facility in Avonmouth and to double the capacity of a previously approved recycling facility.
Called the "Bristol Resource Recovery Park", the site will comprise a plastics recovery facility, gasification plant and also recycling centre. The end-of-life plastic facility will process items such as yoghurt pots and meat trays into diesel fuel. Around 4.2 million litres of specification diesel is expected to be produced each year from 6,000 tonnes of end-of-life plastic.

Polymers such as cellulosic ethers and inorganic cellulosic esters are used for non plastic applications. Cellulose Nitrate, which is an inorganic cellulosic ester, is used as a base material for photographic emulsions. Other cellulose inorganic esters such as cellulose sulfates, cellulose phosphate and cellulose borates are also considered for non plastic applications. Cellulose ethers such as carboxymethylcelluloses (CMC), hydroxyethylcelluloses (HEC) and hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) are used very broadly in construction, food, personal care, pharmaceuticals, paint and other specialty industrial applications.

Oxo Biodegradable (OBD) plastic is polyolefin plastic to which has been added very small (catalytic) amounts of metal salts. These catalyze the natural degradation process to speed it up so that the OBD plastic will degrade when subject to environmental conditions to produce water, carbon dioxide and biomass. The process is shortened from hundreds of years to years and/or months for degradation and thereafter biodegradation depends on the micro-organisms in the environment.

Divyajeychandren wants to discuss Levi's Launches Jeans Spun From Plastic Bottles 6 years ago
Levi’s brand introduced their Spring 2013 Waste Less collection for men and women. The new denim line, available globally, will incorporate 20 percent post-consumer recycled content. Or, on average, eight 12 to 20-ounce plastic soda bottles per jean.

For their new denim line, brown beer bottles, green soda bottles, clear water bottles, and black food trays are collected from municipal recycling programs across the country.
Once the bottles and food trays are sorted by color they are crushed into flakes and made into a polyester fiber. The polyester fiber is blended with cotton fiber, which is then woven with traditional cotton yarn to create Waste Less jeans and trucker jackets.
According to the company, the color of the bottle used with create an undertone in the denim fabric creating a unique look in the finished product.

Divyajeychandren shared a picture Recycled Milk Crate Becomes Bike Seat and Basket: "Two Go" by Israeli designer Yael Livneh 7 years ago
Using a reclaimed milk crate, the piece acts as an additional bike seat for carrying a passenger or it can be converted back into a crate for carting your groceries home. Very neat, very low tech, and a great way to add capacity and adaptability to that greenest of machines—the bicycle.
"Two Go" was short listed as one of the entries in the Seoul Cycle competition run by designboom and the Seoul Design Foundation back in 2010.- 1 person added this post to their reference

Itsmenandhas posted a blog Online garbage disposal pays off 7 years ago
A fortnight ago, 40-year-old Harini Thirunarayanan had a surprise visitor at her doorstep. It was a smartly-dressed young man with an electronic weighing machine who had come to collect her non-biodegradable garbage. Plastic bottles, milk packet covers, newspapers, batteries – everything went in. Ms. Harini was paid a tidy sum in return.
She is one of the 500 registered users of an experiment in social entrepreneurship that kicked off last month. The idea is simple: register on http://www.kuppathotti.com, segregate household waste at source, and once a month, someone will come and pick it up from your doorstep after seeking… -
Itsmenandhas shared a picture Water Roller 7 years ago
In Africa, women have to collect water for their homes in 5 gallon buckets that they carry to and from the water source. The fastest way to bring these buckets home is to carry them on one’s head, placing a heavy load on the neck and spine over a long distance. The Hippo Water Roller is 24 gallon container that can be rolled and pushed along on the ground, greatly increasing efficiency and minimizing physical injury. The plastic’s durability is an added bonus for the people using the Hippo. This is one of the instances that a plastic device can literally make a change in people’s lives.
