CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Solid waste management is increasingly seen as a major issue in the country due to high rates of urbanization and increasing per capita solid waste generation with greater affluence (Petnamsin‚ et al.‚ 2000). A major component of solid waste is resin based plastic. Plastics posses many properties such as water resistance and long life‚ that makes them perfect candidates for packaging. Unfortunately‚ the properties that make this product suitable

The adverse effects of BPA will be explained in details in plastics No. 7. 1: Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) – Safe Problem: antimony‚ EA PET are often used to hold soft drinks‚ water‚ juice‚ sports drinks and other drinkable or edible liquids. It is also used in microwavable food trays and oven-friendly thin plastic. This plastic is considered to be safe but there is still risk

Paper as food packaging material Paper is a quite versatile material‚ utilized in flexible‚ semi-rigid‚ and rigid packaging. It is made into a wide variety of single- and multi-wall bags. It can also be made into a thicker stronger structure which is made into cartons and boxes that provide mechanical protection for many foods. The paperboard can be converted to an even stronger material called corrugated paperboard that is converted into boxes used for logistics. Most types of paper provide a partial

The first is a colloid of silicon dioxide particles suspended in polyethylene oxide. this liquid is a Shear thickening fluid which hardens on impact. the second liquid used is a magnetorheological (MR) fluid. MR fluids are oils that are filled with iron particles and can change its viscosity to a solid state when a magnetic

PHY 114: General Physics Laboratory Lab 1: Absorption of Nuclear Radiation 09/04/13 Abstract Nuclear physics was practiced to find the value of tau. After 8 trials of using a G-M counter and 8 different mass thicknesses of polyethylene‚ a graph was formed and tau was calculated to be 0.1931 cm^2/g‚ an error of 3.57% from the accepted value of 0.2 cm^2/g. Experiment was also used as an intro to using basic lab equipment‚ computer programs and calculating errors. With many different

The first known use of the word in biological text was in 1961 when employed to describe the breakdown of material into the base components of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen by microorganisms. Now biodegradable is commonly associated with environmentally friendly products that are part of the earth’s innate cycle and capable of decomposing back into natural elements. Biodegradation is the chemical dissolution of materials by bacteria or other biological means. Biodegradable matter is generally organic
