Use of LCA and Design to Study Sustainable Alternatives to Plastic Takeaway Cutlery and Crockery
Use of LCA and design to study sustainable alternatives to plastic takeaway cutlery and crockery ANIRUDH MURALIDHARAN GAUTAM Outubro de 2017 Use of LCA and design to study sustainable alternatives to plastic takeaway cutlery and crockery Anirudh Muralidharn Gautam Dissertation submitted for graduation in the Masters in Sustainable Energies Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto Department of Mechanical Engineering outubro de 2017 Master thesis for the completion of the second year of the Masters in Sustainable Energies Candidate: Anirudh Muralidharan Gautam, Nº1150077, [email protected] Academic supervisor: Nídia Caetano Co Supervisor: António Augusto Areosa Martins Masters in Sustainable Energies Department of Mechanical Engineering outubro de 2017 Abstract This thesis looks on alternatives to plastic takeaway cutlery and crockery from areca palm and coconut tree by products. Most of the take away materials used today are made of plastic that is disposed of upon single use. This presents a huge challenge in terms of waste management and pollution. It is widely known that plastic is produced from polymers generated by fossil oil that is explored from the soil and whose natural reserves are limited. Due to its nature, it takes several hundred to thousand years to decompose plastics, releasing toxic substances in the process. This work focuses on reviving the methods and knowledge that existed in the southern and central parts of the Indian subcontinent for producing sustainable goods used in everyday life, aiming to make sustainable cutlery and crockery. The materials that are under study are palm areca sheaths, coconut fibre, shells and banana fibres. A market analysis, design, life cycle analysis and deeper research on the fabrication was made. -

E-mail: [email protected] 2Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Adithya Institute of Technology, India. E-mail: [email protected] Article Received: 23 February 2017 Article Accepted: 06 March 2017 Article Published: 11 March 2017 ABSTRACT In present scenario natural fibers have received much attention because of their light weight, nonabrasive, combustible, nontoxic, low cost and biodegradable properties. Among the various natural fibers, banana fiber was focused for its pretreatment conditions for preparing perfect fiber. In previously many researchers have found various fibers have been pretreated and they obtain its properties and its applications. In this project banana fiber has been taken as natural fiber and it was pretreated and its properties after pretreatment were obtained. The pretreatment was alkali, sodium hydroxide, potassium permanganate treatment, and bleaching was carried out. Then the composite specimen boards were fabricated by various pretreatment banana fiber, polyethylene and matrix. It undergone to mechanical testing, tensile test, hardness test and also SEM analysis was carried out to check their microstructure. The perfect fiber was found by the obtained results from their properties and bonding nature. Keywords: Natural fiber, Filler materials, Resin, Pretreatment and Reinforcement. 1. INTRODUCTION With increasing numbers of applications and mass volume uses, in particular, recording double-digit growth worldwide, disposal of composites after their intended life is already becoming critical, as well as expensive. -
Traces in the Dark
Imaginary Archive Gregory Sholette-01 The archive: if we want to know what this will have meant, we will only know tomorrow. Perhaps. — Jacques Derrida IMAGINARY ARCHIVE There is something appealing and strangely seductive about half-forgotten places like the bookstore that in 2009 was still located inside the George Washington Bridge bus transfer station at 178th Street in Manhattan. For one thing, the store seemed hard at work repelling rather than attracting potential customers. Pulsing with a cold, blue-tinged florescent light, its sparse goods - books, magazines, some tourist souvenirs, and a few music CDs - were arranged haphazardly on rusted wire display stands or stacked edge-to-edge, rather than cover-to-cover, in order to fill up the available display shelves that sag at their centers, as if there was simply too much store in relation to its merchandise. Some of these shelves shed a powdery dust consisting of an unknown synthetic material that was supposed to resemble wood. Up near the stained drop ceiling hung hand-written signs scrawled in over-sized marker. ALL ITEMS HALF PRICE. FINAL SALE. COMPUTER BOOKS TWO FOR $10. But it is the books and other printed materials themselves that reflect the kind of curious neglect found at forsaken archeological sites. With titles like Aqueous Dynamics for the Hobbyist, Field Guide to the Soviet Union, Cobalt for Beginners, or Lobster Boy: An Amazing True Story, one cannot help but wonder just who these authors were, what became of their careers, and if anyone other than family members ever read their books? A similar set of questions applies to the all but unaccred- ited men and women who designed the covers of these forgotten volumes. -
