S* , Vinotha. T Department Of Microbiology, Shri Mathi Indira Gandhi College, Tirchirappalli, Tamil Nadu -620002, India *Corresponding author S. Sivasankari Email: Abstract: Plastic is a broad name given to different polymers with high molecular weight, which can be degraded by various processes. However, considering their abundance in the environment and their specificity in attacking plastics, biodegradation of plastics by microorganisms and enzymes seems to be the most effective process. When plastics are used as substrates for microorganisms, evaluation of their biodegradability should not only be based on their chemical structure, but also on their physical properties (melting point, glass transition temperature, crystallinity, storage modulus etc.). Present paper investigates the possibility of plastic degradation by microbes isolated from forest soil. The invitro degradation was studied by litter bag experiment by taking 1 g of each plastic and buried under forest soil at a depth of 15 cm from the surface during the month of September to February, 2010. An in-vitro experiment was started after collecting the plastic samples from the litter bag experiment and the microbes were isolated from the surface of the plastic. Then the isolated microbes inoculated in the nutrient agar. Result showed that no variety of plastic comfortable degraded under burial condition during 45 days.

  • The Chemical Story Behind Non- Petroleum-Based Plastics
    THE CHEMICAL STORY BEHIND NON- PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS Every year, millions of tons of plastic are discarded into landfills, where they will take hundreds of years to break down. New biodegradable plastics offer a potential solution to this problem. image source Let’s back up and talk about “traditional” plastics first. In addition to being landfilled, some plastic is disposed of improperly, leading to plastic pollution on land and in lakes and oceans where they persist. Once in the environment, animals can accidentally eat the plastic but are incapable of digesting it, so the plastic just sits in their stomachs. Over time, the plastic can block off their digestive system, and the animal will starve. Luckily, there are plastics that are designed to break down rapidly upon disposal. These types of plastics are known as biodegradable plastics, meaning that organisms can decompose the plastic in the environment. When biodegradable plastics are decomposed, they are converted to chemicals found in nature, often carbon dioxide and water. The organisms that carry out the decomposition are generally microorganisms like bacteria. Instead of hundreds of years, most biodegradable plastics take only a few months to decompose after they’ve been thrown away. Many of the biodegradable plastics produced today can be made from renewable resources. I’m going to talk about a few different biodegradable plastics in use today. A biodegradable plastic that is heavily used today is called polylactic acid, or PLA, for short. Polylactic acid is most often made from corn. It has a variety of uses, the most notable being for plastic cups, but it can also be used for compost bags, disposable tableware, and in upholstery.

  • Coffee Cup Experiment
    Coffee Cup Experiment What kind of coffee container will keep coffee hot most effectively? Abstract: This experiment investigated the insulation properties of three different coffee containers. This kind of problem would be of special interest to coffee shop owners, who would like to figure out which cup insulates the best with the lowest cost. In the experiment, hot water was placed in each of the cups in equal amounts and left on a counter to cool. Temperature data was taken over the course of half an hour while they were cooling, with data points of the three cups taken every ten seconds. Experimental data gathered from these experiments suggests that a Styrofoam cup insulates slightly better than a plastic mug, and that both insulate better than a paper cup. Problem: Which coffee container insulates a hot liquid most effectively? Hypothesis: The plastic mug will insulate heat the best because it is the bulkiest and is designed especially for holding hot liquids. Materials: 3 coffee containers with lids (plastic cup, Styrofoam cup, plastic mug) NXT brick 3 NXT temperature sensors Large beaker Hot plate Permanent Marker Procedure: First, the three containers were filled with an equal amount of water, and the marker was used to mark the water level in each. Then, the containers were emptied and water was heated in the beaker on the hot plate. In this experiment, the water was heated until boiling, but this does not need to be the case. Then the containers were filled to the previously marked line with the hot water and a temperature sensor connected to a single NXT was placed in each.

  • Download Proxy Memo
    2019 Proxy Memo Starbucks Corp. Request: Report on Sustainable Packaging Strategy Shareholder Proposal to Starbucks Corp. Report on Sustainable Packaging Strategy The proposal The proposal asks the company to report on reducing environmental impact by stepping up activity on leadership actions such as global cup recycling and reinvigorating its failed reusables goal, and putting recycled content in its plastic cups. It also asks the company to study the impact of doing business in areas lacking recycling and waste management capacity, and to provide specific data about how many cups are actually recycled. Rationale for a “Yes” vote Starbucks’ use of plastic cups is growing rapidly. The company says half of its beverages served are now cold drinks, typically served in plastic cups, up from 37% just five years ago. Its plastic cups have no recycled content. Concerns over plastic pollution of land and water have risen dramatically in the last two years as studies estimate that 8 million tons of plastic ending up in oceans annually. This has led some governments to ban some plastic straws and plastic takeout packaging. Last year, Starbucks took positive actions in two areas of concern on plastic pollution: cup recycling and plastic straws, as a result of an As You Sow proposal. This year’s proposal deals with two other important issues it did not act on: boosting reusable container use and expanding recycling commitments to rapidly growing markets in Asia. The company failed to attain a high-profile 2015 commitment to serve 25% of beverages in reusable cups as concerns have grown over single use packaging waste.

    ed-20XX-XXXXXX Demonstrating the Effects of Processing on the Structure and Physical Properties of Plastic Using Disposable PETE Cups Kendra A. Erk*, Morgan Rhein, Matthew J. Krafcik, and Sophie Ydstie 5 School of Materials Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907 USA ABSTRACT An educational activity is described in which the structure and physical properties of disposable plastic cups were directly related to the method of processing. The mechanical properties of specimens cut from the walls of poly(ethylene terephthalate) 10 (PETE) cups, oriented parallel and perpendicular to the thermoforming direction, were measured in tension. The parallel sample displayed greater elastic moduli, yield stress, and predominantly ductile deformation behavior compared to the relatively weaker and more brittle perpendicular sample. This observed mechanical anisotropy was related to the processing-induced orientation of polymer molecules within the cup. This 1-hour 15 activity, which is suitable as a classroom demonstration, short laboratory task, or an outreach activity, effectively demonstrates the relationship between polymer processing, structure, and properties without the use of large-scale melt processing equipment.
