Tapped In the documentary “Tapped” many items are discussed about bottled water companies and how they operate. The films shows how companies are making huge profits off of water from public waterways and how these companies are making cool‚ refreshing bottles of water not so safe or refreshing. The film begins telling about the bottle water company‚ Nestle‚ coming in‚ building a factory‚ and producing many jobs for small areas. So far nothing at all seems wrong with this process. However

The Earth Policy Institute reports that 1.5 million barrels of oil per year‚ which is enough to fuel 100‚000 cars for that same year‚ are required to satisfy Americans’ demand for bottled water. That’s because PET‚ or polyethylene terephthalate‚ the plastic used in water bottles‚ is derived from crude oil. And‚ according to the Earth Policy Institute article "Bottled Water: Pouring Resources Down the Drain‚" by Emily Arnold and Janet Larsen‚ this oil is being used to make

The global market for ethylene glycol is expected to reach USD 33.36 billion by 2020‚ according to a new study by Grand View Research‚ Inc. Growing demand for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for packaging applications‚ primarily in Asia Pacific and Latin America is expected to remain a key driving factor for the market. In addition‚ growth from global textiles industry is also expected to support the ethylene glycol market development over the forecast period. Volatile prices and tight supply of

Bangus raising will generally take approximately four (4) months in order to be viable in the market for sale. Aside from the four-month raising period‚ the fishpond must be grown with algae that will serve as natural food for the bangus being raised. In connection with this‚ several types of fertilizers are needed to assists the growth of these algae. The table below will show the fertilizers that will be used along with its required volume and estimated prices provided by the Bureau of Fisheries

The Tensile Behaviour of Common Engineering Polymers Abstract The mechanical properties of polymers vary significantly from polymer to polymer as a result of atomic structures and bond strength. The tensile properties of representative samples from the common polymer were tested and evaluated in this experiment. This laboratory experiment is also designed to demonstrate the procedure used for obtaining mechanical properties as modulus of elasticity‚ yield strength‚ ultimate tensile strength

This paper summarizes field tests done in an attempt to simulate actual conditions to answer the following questions: • Do the boxes deteriorate at an acceptable rate? • Does the wax coating or impregnation and a polyethylene vapor barrier affect deterioration? • Will the boxes fail under heave conditions? Are trapezoidal boxes appropriate and do they perform in an acceptable manner? • Which type of boxes are appropriate in each situation? • What are some
