Plastics and the Environment
Author: I. BousteadPublisher: iSmithers Rapra Publishing
ISBN: 9781859570166
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
Plastics possess some special characteristics but most of the potential environmental problems and their solutions are common to other materials and industries. This review considers their environmental impact in terms of industrial systems (e.g. eco-profile and life-cycle systems), and looks at energy consumption and recovery, as well as recycling. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database provides useful references for further reading.

Plastics Recycling as a Future Business Opportunity
Author: Advances in Biodegradable Polymers
Author: G. F. MoorePublisher: iSmithers Rapra Publishing
ISBN: 9781859571187
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
In this report the factors which influence biodegradation are first explained. Methods of testing and evaluating biodegradation are then described and compared. The principles, relative costs and practical applications of specific tests are outlined together with the position with respect to recognised standards. The range of biodegradable polymers and polymer blends is then described, including natural and synthetic products. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database provides useful references for further reading.

Book Description
The Plastics Paradox is the first and only book to reveal the truth about plastics and the environment. Based on over 400 scientific articles, it dispels the myths that the public believe today. We are told that plastics are not green when in fact, they are usually the greenest choice according to lifecycle analysis (LCA) We are told that plastics create a waste problem when they are proven to dramatically reduce waste, for example replacing 1lb of plastic requires 3-4lb of the replacement material We are told that plastics take 1000 years to degrade when in fact a plastic bag disintegrates in just one year outdoors We are led to believe that plastic bags and straws are an issue when in fact they barely register in the statistics The list goes on... Everything you believe now is untrue and we are making policies that harm the environment based on bad information. After reading The Plastics Paradox you will be able to make wise choices that help create a brighter future for us and for our children.
