    ITEM 2 ATTACHMENT ORDINANCE NO. 2018–368 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CALABASAS ADDING CHAPTER 8.19 TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO REGULATE THE USE OF PLASTIC STRAWS, STIRRERS, AND CUTLERY. WHEREAS, the City of Calabasas desires to protect the natural environment, the health of its citizens, the economy; and WHEREAS, discarded plastic cutlery, stirrers, and straws continue to cause environmental harm and are a growing portion of Calabasas’ waste stream. The use of these products has increased over the years and they have been found to pollute our creeks and natural environment. Regulation of these products, therefore, is a necessary contribution to encourage an environmentally friendly waste stream and to protect the environment; and WHEREAS, it is in the interest of the health and welfare of all who live, work, and do business in the City that the amount of non-biodegradable products such as plastic straws, stirrers, and cutlery be reduced. These products end up in existing landfill sites that are quickly reaching capacity or in our creeks and storm drains. Reduction of non-biodegradable wastes entering Calabasas’ waste stream and encouraging the use of recyclable products further these goals; and WHEREAS, replacing plastic straws, stirrers and cutlery with those that are biodegradable will further protect the public’s health, Calabasas’ natural environment, wildlife and creeks; and WHEREAS, the reduction of plastic straws, stirrers, and cutlery originating at retail food establishments within the City is desirable and necessary to reduce the volume of non-biodegradable waste; and WHEREAS, non-biodegradable plastic materials pose a challenge to any financially and environmentally responsible solid waste management program.

Glossary of Terms 2 Forward – The EMA Guide to Envelopes & Mailing The envelope is only a folded piece of paper yet it is an important part of our national communications system. The power of the envelope is the power to touch someone else in a very personal way. The envelope has been used to convey important messages of national interest or just to say “hello.” It may contain a greeting card sent to a friend or relative, a bill or other important notice. The envelope never bothers you during the dinner hour nor does it shout at you in the middle of a television program. The envelope is a silent messenger – a very personal way to tell someone you care or get them interested in your product or service. Many people purchase envelopes over the counter and have never stopped to think about everything that goes into the production of an envelope.

  • Assessment of the Properties of Poly (Lactic Acid) Sheets with Different Amounts of Post-Consumer Recycled Poly (Lactic Acid)
    ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPERTIES OF POLY (LACTIC ACID) SHEETS WITH DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF POST-CONSUMER RECYCLED POLY (LACTIC ACID) By Chaiyatas Chariyachotilert A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Packaging 2011 ABSTRACT ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPERTIES OF POLY (LACTIC ACID) SHEETS WITH DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF POST-CONSUMER RECYCLED POLY (LACTIC ACID) By Chaiyatas Chariyachotilert The main objective of this research was to evaluate the properties of sheet containing mechanically recycled post-consumer polylactic acid (PLA) bottle flakes blended with virgin PLA resin. PLA bottles were flaked, cleaned, blended with virgin resin and then extruded and thermoformed into trays. The molecular weight, physical, optical, thermal and mechanical properties of sheet containing 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 wt.-% recycled content were evaluated. Cleaning conditions were evaluated using response surface methodology, and conditions of 15 min, 85 °C, 1 wt.-% NaOH, and 0.3 wt.-% surfactant were adopted for cleaning the PLA flake. Virgin PLA sheet possessed superior properties to recycled sheet with statistically significant differences at α=0.05. PLA sheets were darker and absorbed more UV light in the 260 to 285 nm range when 20% or more recycled content was added. At 40% recycled content, the sheet had increased blue and red tones and the mechanical properties in the cross-machine direction decreased. At 60% recycled content or above, reduction of weight average molecular weight (Mw), tensile strength and tensile strength at yield in the machine direction (MD) were found. At 80% recycled content, the melting temperature and modulus of elasticity in the MD decreased.

In fact, nova-institute projects production capacity for PET to reach 7m tonnes/year by 2020, while production capacities for PLA and PHA will expand nearly four and tenfold, respectively, between 2013 and 2020. Examples of leading companies producing biobased polymers and fibres intended for use in the textile industry include DuPont, NatureWorks, Invista, Corbion, Kaneka and Cathay Industrial Biotech. DUPONT OFFERINGS GROW DuPont makes Sorona (polytrimethylene tere- phthalate, PTT) biobased fibres (37% renewably sourced by weight) for carpet and apparel applications via continuous polymerisation of bio-PDO (1,3-propanediol), which is made from fermented sugars, and terephthalic acid (TPA).

  • Liquid Vs Pellet Color Is a Critical Feature in Consumer Packaging That Enables Brands to Create Differentiation and Recognizable Identity on Shelf
    Plastic Colorant Options 101: Liquid vs Pellet Color is a critical feature in consumer packaging that enables brands to create differentiation and recognizable identity on shelf. Major brands and their packaging supply partners are rethinking their colorant strategy. How do you find the right value-added color supplier? Most color suppliers have a fixed portfolio of either liquid colorants or traditional pellet colorants, thereby leaving processors confused about choosing the best colorant technology to accomplish their goals. Both technologies have advantages and disadvantages. Below, is a quick overview of both liquid and traditional pellet options followed by two case studies in which color- processing challenges were overcome using a new pelletized color technology solution. Liquid vs. Pellet: Liquid Colorant for manufacturing plastic products: Ad vantages: Challenges: - Effective at extremely low use rates - Specialized pumps are required - Suited for tints - Several pigment and additive limitations. - Good color distribution - Production interruptions caused by container - Less history than pellet concentrates changeover - Coloring cost can be lower than - Screw slippage at high use rates conventional pellet - Limited application with engineered polymers - Not suitable for extrusion blow molding of HDPE bottles - Increased housekeeping issues related to spill cleanup and storage of dedicated hoses - Limited shelf life due to product separation that ends up increasing costs and wasted color - Issues with sustainability due to wasted/residual

    polymers Review The Recent Developments in Biobased Polymers toward General and Engineering Applications: Polymers that Are Upgraded from Biodegradable Polymers, Analogous to Petroleum-Derived Polymers, and Newly Developed Hajime Nakajima, Peter Dijkstra and Katja Loos * ID Macromolecular Chemistry and New Polymeric Materials, Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials, University of Groningen, Nijenborgh 4, 9747 AG Groningen, The Netherlands; [email protected] (H.N.); [email protected] (P.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +31-50-363-6867 Received: 31 August 2017; Accepted: 18 September 2017; Published: 18 October 2017 Abstract: The main motivation for development of biobased polymers was their biodegradability, which is becoming important due to strong public concern about waste. Reflecting recent changes in the polymer industry, the sustainability of biobased polymers allows them to be used for general and engineering applications. This expansion is driven by the remarkable progress in the processes for refining biomass feedstocks to produce biobased building blocks that allow biobased polymers to have more versatile and adaptable polymer chemical structures and to achieve target properties and functionalities. In this review, biobased polymers are categorized as those that are: (1) upgrades from biodegradable polylactides (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), and others; (2) analogous to petroleum-derived polymers such as bio-poly(ethylene terephthalate) (bio-PET); and (3) new biobased polymers such as poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate)
