The topic of single-use plastic (SUP) has attracted considerable global attention. Even though it been investigated extensively by the research community, there is no existing literature that succinctly reviews progress and developments its uses, associated impacts, viable alternatives, end-of-life scenarios through lens food services industry (FSI). Through our review, we attempted to answer q...

After WW2, a huge market opened in the growing economies and cemented carbides contributed as tool materials and construction parts to their industrial development. Today, cemented carbides are the workhorses in all areas of the manufacturing industries: no factory without cemented carbide tools; no production of glass bottles, aluminium cans or plastic tubes which has not benefited from these ...

Worldwide, ethylene is the most produced organic compound. It serves as a building block for a wide variety of plastics, textiles, and chemicals, and a process has been developed for its conversion into liquid transportation fuels. Currently, commercial ethylene production involves steam cracking of fossil fuels, and is the highest CO2-emitting process in the chemical industry. Therefore, there...

It is claimed that many of these will bring consumer benefits by offering foods with enhanced nutritional value (so-called ‘functional foo...

In 1974 vinyl chloride (VC), a gas used in the plastics industry, was shown to be a human carcinogen, inducing a very rare type of tumor, angiosarcoma of the liver. The same type of tumor was induced in rodents exposed to VC thus providing an excellent model for mechanistic studies. Here, we review the numerous studies on the mechanism of action of VC with particular emphasis on the DNA product...

Using an ANT approach based on Programs of Action the authors explore the description of innovation cases to discover internal referents that conveys their meaning. This paper revisits some old and well known histories like the application of ecography to obstetrics and gynaecology and the making and evolution of the computer mouse. Finally, the authors change from these localized cases of inno...
