The US market invested in ethane based capacities
Going forward, the olefins cycle is likely to decline further and that in turn would lead to subdued returns, they added.
On the demand/ consumption side, governments and brand owners are responding to a rising tide of negative public perception against single use plastics leading to on-going efforts to reduce, reuse, recycle plastic materials extending to even banning of some uses of plastic materials, analysts pointed out.The trend of recycling and reuse is likely HXH 260
to accelerate going forward.On the supply side, with the shale gas boom in the US, prices of natural gas and ethane fell in 2009 and have remained low since then. That would dent the demand for virgin polymer and impact the margins of producers. Notwithstanding the backlash, improving living standards, population growth, increasing urbanisation and lack of cost effective alternatives would continue to support the growth of many plastics over the next decade.
The US market invested in ethane based capacities which are now coming on line, besides many projects are still under construction, owing to the large cash cost advantage of ethane cracking over naphtha cracking for ethylene production,” Icra said.“
Changing industry dynamics both globally and domestically, besides emergence of new industry influencing determinants will have a bearing on the petrochemical sector,” said K Ravichandran, Senior VP and Group Head, Corporate Ratings, Icra.Kolkata: Good days are feared to be over for the domestic petrochemical producers, who have been enjoying robust cash earnings over the past several years. Significant among the influencing factor is the evolving demand-supply scenario.And that’s not without reasons. Accordingly, companies across the globe are investing in new ethylene capacities besides which, existing oil refineries are either reconfiguring and/or adding units to maximise the production of chemicals and petrochemicals.. Petrochem producers' net debt levels have also been low.

In what is being billed as the world
Imagine if such a group was formed in every city in India and across the world - what an impact they would have,” he told this newspaper.
In what is being billed as the world’s largest clean-up drive ever, the Versova Residents Volunteer (VRV), instituted barely 40 weeks ago with just two volunteers, has till now cleared more than one million kilogram of plastic waste from Versova Beach. UNEP, scheduled to participate in the VRV campaign over weekends, will also shoot a documentary to spread the word about this extraordinary journey of ordinary citizens aimed at freeing the ocean of one million kilogram of garbage in a matter of 40 weeks. “They set an example across the world..The Asian Age had earlier reported how Mr Pugh, who came across members of VRV on social media, expressed his desire to join the movement. The UNEP officials, who congratulated the group on its phenomenal success, are slated to make a documentary on this noble initiative. “It’s an honour to host global PVC injection molding machine Manufacturers environment leaders.Talking about the milestone, Afroz Shah, who is the co-founder of VRV and spearheads it, said that the appreciation has come as a pleasant surprise for residents who have been working relentlessly and have sacrificed their weekends for a noble cause.
“Mumbai beach plastic clean-up continues.This weekend, nearly 2,000 volunteers will participate in a mega ocean clean-up drive at Versova even as Erik Solheim, chief of United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and Lewis Pugh, UN patron of the oceans, take their efforts to a global audience.
Both Mr Pugh and Mr Solheim contacted members of VRV and said they wanted to travel all the way to India to witness the splendid efforts of the group. The officials have also said that the documentary will be shown across the world so that it can inspire many more people to initiate such movements and save our oceans,” said Mr Shah. In fact, this is Mr Solheim’s first visit to any country post taking charge as UNEP chief. We are planning an around 2000 volunteer clean-up on the day and UNEP officials have expressed their wish to participate in the same. A truly inspiring example of civil leadership,” tweeted Mr Solheim a few days ago.

Material does a good job of trapping
This is designed for a warmer world — not just because climate change is making temperatures hotter, but because it takes a lot of energy to heat and cool people's offices and homes, said study lead author Yi Cui, a professor of materials and engineering.They've used devices to mimic human skin and monitor skin temperatures, but strict scientific testing rules have prevented them from testing clothing on actual humans, Cui said.It hasn't been worn or tested by humans, so outside experts caution this is far from a sure thing, but a team at Stanford University engineered a fabric using nano technology that not only allows moisture to leave the body better, but helps infrared radiation escape better. As a result, they say in Thursday's journal Science , the body should feel around 4.
Material does a good job of trapping that heat energy to warm you, but letting it go is another matter. Washington: Engineers have created clothing for a warming world — a fabric that allows your body heat to escape far better than other materials do. That means, you can see through it, which isn't exactly what most people want from clothing.Engineers from Stanford University have created a fabric using nano technology that allows your body’s heat to escape faster.Plastic wrap — polyethylene — does a good job of allowing infrared radiation to escape the body."What we need is heating or cooling of individual human beings.But that material felt too flat, so the next step was to weave it, to feel like regular fabric, Cui said.8 degrees (2.8 degrees (2.Existing fabrics already do a good job of taking moisture away from the body, but the issue is more "how do you control the infrared radiation coming out of the human body," he said.".So the engineering team worked at changing the pore size of the material and added other chemicals, allowing the heat and moisture out, but not visible light. And after that, another three years would pass before mass production could proceed so people could buy and wear it, he said."You touch, it feels very soft," Cui said.
"Replacing fabrics such as cotton that have been around for plastic injection molding machine price over 8,000 years is a tall order. The trouble is it also allows visible light to escape, Cui said."There are many factors relating to the compatibility and feel of the fabric in contact with the skin — washability, durability, compatibility with coloring materials and how they impact radiative properties that remain completely unexplored," Yogendra Joshi, a professor of mechanical engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology who wasn't part of the study, said in an email.1 degrees Celsius) chillier than commercially available synthetics.7 degrees Celsius) cooler than cotton and 3. That's where clear clingy plastic kitchen wrap comes in. That's the next step and outside scientists said there are all sorts of potential pitfalls. And it is cheaper than cotton, Cui said. How do you do personal thermal management " Cui said.

But the oceans are so vast that if we can extract
How practical this approach is depends on three main variables - how much uranyl sticks to the fibres, how quickly ions can be captured and how many times the fibers can be reused.Extracting these uranyl ions involves dipping plastic fibers containing a compound called amidoxime into seawater.
"But the oceans are so vast that if we can extract these trace amounts cost effectively, the supply would be endless," said Cui. Their key advance was to create a conductive hybrid fiber incorporating carbon and amidoxime. By sending pulses of electricity down the fiber, they altered the properties of the hybrid fibre so that more uranyl ions could be collected. First she tested how much uranyl each type of fiber could hold before reaching saturation.
The electrified fibre captured three times as much uranyl during an 11-hour test using seawater from Half Moon Bay, about an hour from Stanford and had three times the useful lifespan of the standard amidoxime.Postdoctoral scholar Chong Liu oversaw the lab tests that compared Stanford&high speed injection molding machine39;s amidoxime-carbon hybrid fibers with today's amidoxime fibres. When the strands become saturated, the plastic is chemically treated to free the uranyl, which then has to be refined for use in reactors just like ore from a mine. A practical method for extracting that uranium, which produces higher quantities in less time, could help make nuclear power a viable part of the quest for a carbon-free energy future.Researchers # believe that a practical way to extract uranium from seawater is needed to reduce the energy insecurity of nations that depend on nuclear power but lack uranium within their own borders."Concentrations are tiny, on the order of a single grain of salt dissolved in a litre of water," said Yi Cui, a materials scientist at Stanford University in the US.
Trace amounts of uranium exists in seawater, but efforts to extract that critical ingredient for nuclear power have produced insufficient quantities to make it a viable source for those countries that lack uranium mines. Researchers have long known that uranium dissolved in seawater combines chemically with oxygen to form uranyl ions with a positive charge.Researchers from Stanford University in the US improved on all three variables: capacity, rate and reuse. The uranyl ions essentially stick to the amidoxime.Scientists are developing a new way of extracting uranium from seawater, an advance that may help countries that lack resources to harness nuclear power from the oceans.In these tests she found that by the time the standard amidoxime fibre had become saturated, Stanford's amidoxime-carbon hybrid fibres had already adsorbed nine times as much uranyl and were still not saturated.

The NGO collects old household items like clothes
. Moreover, to make sure the utility doesn’t suffer, the bags can carry three to 20 kg, depending on their size.Interestingly, Green Yatra tried this model on a pilot basis in 2012. However, when they’re told about it by their own children, they’re all ears—it makes a difference. But the city-based entrepreneur wasn’t just going to stop at that. The objective, this time around, was to adopt a day-to-day practice of saving the environment. “These bags are then used in exchange for scrap collected from societies, encouraging them not to use plastic variants. While some material from this is distributed to people in rural areas, the discarded cloth is used to make recycled bags. Pradeep is proud of the fact that the cause is not just helping the environment, but also the women involved earn money out of it.“According to statistics, Mumbai has merely one tree per four people in the city. Made from cotton, canvas, jute and other natural material, the NGO has ensured they are available in different sizes and designs.”To that end, Green Yatra has spread its wings across Pune and Ahmedabad too, collaborating with more than 200 societies and over 200 schools and colleges across India in the process. two color injection molding machine Factory But now was the time we decided to take it on a much larger scale.“We help people understand the steps they can take daily to help the environment from damage,” adds Pradeep. But we want to change this scenario, and make Mumbai a green city,” he optimistically concludes.“The recycled bags from discarded cloth is made in training centres that employ rural women, who earn some money per bag,” says Pradeep.Ganesh Chaturthi is a festival that’s celebrated with much pomp and gaiety, especially in Mumbai.” The entrepreneur hopes to plant 10 crore trees by 2025, while simultaneously promoting Bag for a Cause. “It’s an online tree plantation drive,” says Pradeep. “The idea is to encourage changing the whole system of gifting. “This exchange of scrap for bags was happening on a smaller scale.In another effort to tap the youth, the NGO started a popular Ped Lagao campaign, which helped it plant 1.
“A lot of times, people aren’t interested in listening about cleaner environment.3 lakh trees in Ambadi and Karjat.And it’s this campaign that gave birth to their latest one, Bag for a Cause.“I started with biodegradable Ganesha so that the beaches wouldn’t be cluttered with Plaster of Paris after immersions,” explains Pradeep.”Pedh LagaoThe NGO runs various campaigns, all based on environmental causes. Instead of bouquets, we aim to replace it with tree plantations.”As a result of this expansion, the NGO has received more than 5,000 calls from housing societies across India, who wish to exchange scraps for bags—a win-win situation for all.This was exactly what prompted Pradeep Tripathi to start Go Green Ganeshas in 2008. The NGO currently boasts of 15 members and over 100 volunteers, most of them young adults, who work on everything from educating individuals on sustainable living to making Mumbai green. “A woman can make anywhere between 15 and 100 bags a day at our centre,” he asserts. One of them, Zarurat, is based on reducing, reusing and recycling.”These reusable and economical bags are also durable and washable.Noticing that many back then didn’t indulge in healthy environmental activities, he went on to form the non-governmental organisation (NGO) Green Yatra just two years later in 2010. However, environmentalists and nature lovers have expressed dismay at the undissolved debris and water brimming with waste that the visarjan at the end of the festival brings about.
The NGO collects old household items like clothes, furniture and books. “They can earn a good amount of money out of it, in addition to being able to take care of their family and household chores as well. The initiative is working towards ridding society of deadly plastic, non-woven bags, and e-waste, all while empowering underprivileged and tribal women. “The youth will always be our focus,” he says, confidently. “We have been running the training centre in Bhiwandi and Ambadi area since 2012,” Pradeep says. “By saving electricity, water, paper and going green in their everyday lives, these small steps can have a great impact on our lives. He took to manufacturing biodegradable idols in the early days of the wave of eco-friendly Ganeshas, with the sole aim of creating a cleaner environment. Not only do the societies get a bag for free, they also end up supporting the environmental cause and women empowerment.”Along with empowering women, Pradeep believes that the key to environment conservation lies with the youth. It’s worrisome.
