06/13/2008 Polypropylene prices are increasing (2008-6-13)
Polypropylene prices are increasing
Early-June sales tags said to be 8¢ higher
by Tom Stundza -- Purchasing, 6/11/2008 11:18:00 AM
Some buyers report that they are paying as much as 88¢/lb for polypropylene homopolymer resins early this month, an 8¢ increase, as producers are pushing for higher sales prices to offset rising energy costs. Purchases aren’t as high as the $1.05/lb list price being posted by some producers. PP cost buyers as low as 71¢ in early 2007. Now, prices are under upward pressure even though ICISpricing.com says that “year-over-year demand is lower, and high production costs and selling prices are keeping inventories slim.”
The subscription news service says rigid packaging manufacturers were cutting orders as were users of material used in motor vehicles and building materials. Demand for blow-molding grades used in the production of beverage jugs and bottles was reported healthy, explaining why injection-molding grade PP prices have incr...[read more]

06/06/2008 China Supermarkets Plastic Bags Ban Law Starts (2008-6-6)
With the plastic bags ban law of China government fulfills, we begin to see how effectively this law has been carried out in China supermarkets.
On June 1st, I went shopping to a nearby super store, first thing I found the promtional polypropylene non-woven bags of this store, printed with their logo.The selling price is surprisingly low, which can hit the production living line. But it is understandable at just a limited period, also it is printed with the store name, which can bring back more customers and this can make up for this small part of profit loss.
I also noticed in the store racks, a lot of pp sheet made bags and pp non-woven bags with other logos printed, with a pretty normal market prices. And of course the sales is not good comparing to this store's own promotional pp non-woven bags bottom prices.
On the street, we can now see a lot of people carry the pp non-woven and other reusable bags made of recycled pet or new polyester or nylon materials.
This change is h...[read more]

07/10/2007 Human Behavior, Global Warming, and the Ubiquitous Plastic Bag (2007-10-7)
When she moved to the United States from Germany seven years ago, Angela Neigl brought with her the energy-conscious sensibilities of life in Europe. You drove small cars. You recycled every can, lid and stray bit of household waste. You brought your own reusable bags or crate to the market rather than adding to the billions of plastic bags clogging landfills, killing aquatic creatures on the bottoms of oceans and lakes, and blowing in the wind.
But, alas, there she was Friday morning, lugging her white plastic bags from the Turco’s supermarket, like everyone else, figuring there was no fighting the American way of waste.
“When I was first here, I brought my own bags to the market, but they would stuff the groceries in the plastic bags anyway. Finally, I gave up,” she said. “People are very nice here. It’s more relaxed. But the environmental thing is a little scary.”
You could have learned a lot, I guess, about the politics of global warming from the lukewarm response President Bush...[read more]

28/09/2007 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rethink (2007-9-28)
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rethink
Manny Frishberg
SEATTLE, Washington -- Twenty years after it entered the mainstream of American society, recycling is still a partly filled glass. Whether it appears half-full or half-empty depends on if you are collecting the glass or remanufacturing it.
Representatives from local and state governments, nonprofit recyclers and the waste management industry -- an estimated 1,200 people -- attended the 20th annual congress of the National Recycling Coalition. Topics have ranged from ways to cut garbage down to zero to dealing with the hazardous leftovers from the constant growth of computer power, including mercury-tainted mother boards and leaded glass from monitors.
In the conference rooms, government recycling officials and their nonprofit counterparts have been discussing strategies for convincing consumers to consume less. But in the exhibit hall, companies are touting everything from reprocessed-denim rulers to patio furniture and decks made...[read more]

09/25/2007 Recycling (2007-9-25)
Recycling
Most thermoplastic polymers can be recycled - that is converted from their initialuse as a consumer, business, or industrial product, back into a raw material from which some other product can be manufactured.
Recycled materials are often classified as Post-Industrial and Post-Consumer. Post-Industrial includes suchthings as manufacturing scrap, containers and packaging. Post-Consumer is basically any product, container, packaging, etc. that has passed through the handsof a consumer, e.g. plastics bags, beverage containers, carpeting, home appliancces,toys, etc.Thermoset polymers can only be recycled for use as an inert filler (something to take up space) in another material.
The keys to effective recycling are:
1. an efficient infrastructure for collecting used materials
2. ease of separation and low levels of contamination
3. an established market for reprocessing/reusing the materials There are many arguments whether there is not enough of a market forrecycled mater...[read more]
