Container design, spillages and recycling
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The ACP guidelines state that ‘Containers must drain well with no internal recesses which could trap the product’ yet a number of containers do not meet this standard. The European Crop Protection Association (ECPA)’s basic requirements state that containers ‘should drain well and facilitate easy and effective rinsing to maximize product residue removal’. This falls short of the ‘must’ in our own (UK) guidelines but does require manufacturers to audit their packaging.

A Versatile and Scalable Approach toward Robust Superhydrophobic Porous Materials with Excellent Absorbency and Flame Retardancy
The frequent oil spillages and the industrial discharge of organic contaminants have not only created severe environmental and ecological crises, but also cause a risk of fire and explosion. These environmental and safety issues emphasize the urgent need for materials that possess superior sorption capability and less flammability and thus can effectively and safely clean up the floating oils a...
متن کاملModeling and Design of Material Separation Systems with Applications to Recycling
Material separation technology is critical to the success of the material recycling industry. End-of-life products, post-consumer waste, industrial excess, or otherwise collected materials for reuse are typically mixed with other incompatible materials. These materials must be segregated using material separation processes. This thesis investigates the performance and design of material separat...
متن کاملA stochastic network design of bulky waste recycling – a hybrid harmony search approach based on sample approximation
Facing supply uncertainty of bulky wastes, the capacitated multi-product stochastic network design model for bulky waste recycling is proposed in this paper. The objective of this model is to minimize the first-stage total fixed costs and the expected value of the second-stage variable costs. The possibility of operation costs and transportation costs for bulky waste recycling is considered ...
متن کاملA hybrid metaheuristic algorithm for solving a rollon–rolloff waste collection vehicle routing problem considering waste separation and recycling center
This paper addresses a rollon–rolloff waste collection vehicle routing problem which involves large containers that collect huge amounts of waste from construction sites and shopping malls. In this problem, vehicles could only move one container at a time between customers’ locations, a depot, a disposal center, and a recycling center site. Other than a disposal center, a recycling ...
متن کاملGlass recycling in the labour suite is environmentally sound and economical.
BACKGROUND Glass bottles are used for the storage of local anaesthetics in the US and are recyclable. Recycling would result in hospital solid waste reduction. METHODS The members of the Department of Anaesthesia were surveyed to determine where these local anaesthetic bottles were disposed of. From November 2002 to April 2003, glass bottles used on the labour and delivery suite were saved fo...
