Thanks also to Professor Barbara Westman’s Fiber Art class students, who volunteered to create the amazing art installations featured at the Smith Student Center for the Beyond Plastic event! The class’s individual art pieces, described below, will also be featured in the third floor lobby during this event. Students enrolled in Fiber Art class this fall, led by Professor Barbara Westman, worked in the assignment titled Unique Textiles. In this assignment students incorporated textiles, polyester, plastics, paper and other materials from our environment, creating a unique composition. The abundance of plastic has an impact on our everyday life but also on contemporary art, where upcycled materials are often used by an artist, giving them a second life. Student participants: Clowes, Daniel Demase, Devin Grata, Marian Long, Chase Matrone, Brooke Mosher, Karlee Oates, Avery Runas, Hannah Thomas, Caden Glath, Alina Thompson, Kiera Wick, Madison Slippery Rock University “Beyond Plastic: Can’t Reuse it? Refuse it!” Symposium and Product Expo America’s reliance on single-use “disposable” plastic products threatens our health, as well as our environment. While this has been an on-going issue, it is today’s students that will have to come up with innovative solutions to the many environmental issues that we, as a society, urgently need to address. This symposium is designed to empower our students to think of themselves as agents of positive change, and to equip them with the knowledge they need to be effective in doing so. With China and other developing countries no longer accepting our plastic trash, our ability to recycle plastics is even more problematic than ever. Recycling isn’t, and never really was, the best option to solve this problem anyway. In answer to these concerns, the Presidents Commission on Sustainability at Slippery Rock University is beginning a large-scale campaign to emphasize the overriding need to “Refuse and Reuse”, rather than to “Recycle”, single-use plastic products. The Beyond Plastic: Can’t Reuse it? Refuse it! Symposium and Product Expo is scheduled for Thursday, October 24, 2019 from 9:30 am to 4:45 pm on the third floor of the Smith Student Center. It is open to all SRU students, faculty and staff, as well as invited regional high school students and teachers. The day’s events will include the following: Guest Speakers - We are featuring people who have made great strides in the movement to reduce the use of disposable plastic products: Mark Dixon, filmmaker and environmental activist who, along with three friends, traveled across the U.S. for a year with the goal to produce only the amount of trash that could fit in one cereal box. Not only were they successful, but from their experience they produced the documentary film YERT- Your Environmental Road Trip. Mark will be presenting on the zero-waste lifestyle and on how the proposed ethane cracker plants (that will produce even MORE plastic) will affect our region. Sabrina Culyba, director of the “no plastic please” campaign in Pittsburgh, who will share her experiences in promoting a group movement to reduce the use of disposable plastics. Lisa Anne Hamilton from the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL), who is dedicated to addressing the environmental, health and social justice issues surrounding plastics through the power of policy and law, and will address the health impacts of plastic. Heather Benek, a local zero-waste advocate, who will share her tips on how to minimize the use of plastic in everyday life, whether you’re at home, traveling, or shopping for food! Alternatives to Plastic Expo – We are excited to offer an exposition of alternatives to single-use “disposable” plastic products! In the style of Consumer-Reports, college and high school students who have researched and evaluated the benefits of various alternative products will be demonstrating products that can make a difference. DIY Workshops - These workshops are designed to encourage personal steps towards a zero-waste lifestyle by demonstrating how to make products that reduce the use of single-use plastic products. Students will learn how to make reusable shopping bags from recycled T-shirts and how to make your own beeswax food wraps. Films and Documentaries -Throughout the day, a series of films and documentaries, including Bag It, and guest speaker/filmmaker Mark Dixon’s Your Environmental Road Trip, will provide information on the environmental and social justice issues related to plastic. Art Exhibition - The entrance of the event will feature a multi-story, experiential art installation created by SRU fiber arts students, in addition to displaying Fiber Art students’ individual art pieces and the artwork of SRU graduate and environmental artist Ben Bires.

  • Analysis of Chemical Leaching from Common Consumer Plastic Bottles Under High Stress Conditions
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Paul John Dornath for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Chemical Engineering presented on May 29, 2010. Title: Analysis of Chemical Leaching from Common Consumer Plastic Bottles Under High Stress Conditions Abstract approved: ______________________________________________ Skip Rochefort There has been much controversy in recent years over the leaching of chemicals from plastic water bottles. In this study, two of the most common plastics used in water bottles, polyethylene terphthalate (PETE) and polycarbonate (PC) were studied. The leaching of the chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) from polycarbonate (Nalgene ™, Camelback ™) water bottles was studied to examine the validity of these claims by exposing polycarbonate bottles to various conditions and analyzing how much BPA leaches into water contained in the bottles. New polycarbonate bottles were filled with water and exposed to treatment conditions ranging from 65 to 120 ⁰C. A reverse-phase solid phase extraction process was developed to extract BPA from the water and concentrate it into an organic phase. GC/MS was used to analyze the organic extract. BPA was only found to leach in detectable amounts (< 10ppb) when the bottles were exposed to 120 ⁰C water for 2 hours. Polyethylene terephthalate bottles were also tested and were exposed to sunlight for three months during the summer. Small amounts of the plasticizer DEHP were found to leach after several months. A method for determining what chemicals would leach from BPA-Free Tritan™ copolyester was also developed but not tested due to time constraints. An analysis of internal stress due to high humidity and temperature was performed on these BPA-Free bottles.
