FAQ

When used as filler, what will the effect of calcium carbonate be in plastics?Please cite the source of your answers. Thanks! :)

The first link below is an excellent tutorial on fillers in plastics. CaCO3 filler is used to reduce cost and to impart structural rigidity to plastics. It is used in both thermosetting resins like polyesters and thermosetting resins like polypropylene. CaCO3 does not impart a significant amount of strength to the plastic, like happens with fiberglass and carbon fiber, but its effect on the plastic allows the manufacturer to make products with some improvement in properties like compression. Most mineral fillers like CaCO3 result in a reduction in the tensile strength of the plastic. Hope this is helpful to you. JIL HIR

surely your average plastic pot, or for instance old tape cassette holders etc etc are all similar enough to bottles and food containers to be mixed in?surely the polymers are close enough to work in the same process? the reason i ask is i have been clearing out and have a bag full of random plastic bits - but not ur general 'allowed' stuff, and i want to recycle it but it seems the rules are the council basically only accept bottles, and my local tip ONLY has a plastic bottle bankstupid if u ask me

There gonna be hard to put in thee bin, wait maybe not ? Stupid Government .

Plastic garbage bags (tall kitchen sized 13 gallon) contain more plastic per square inch than 6 plastic grocery bags (filled), which is about how many you can fit into a 13 gallon tall kitchen garbage bag. So if you ban plastic grocery bags like they did in San Francisco, every household ends up putting even MORE plastic into the landfill with plastic garbage bags than they would have if they'd stuck to the plastic grocery bags to throw away their garbage. Where is the logic? Why didn't the city of S.F. figure this out before banning plastic grocery bags? Am I missing something, or what? Please don't suggest compost bins and the like, city residents, people who live in apartments and other rentals, don't have that option.

According to various sources around the web: There are an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags consumed worldwide each year. That comes out to over one million per minute. Billions end up as litter each year. These billions that are draped on trees and bushes and blowing around our streets, deserts, mountains and beaches are perhaps an even bigger problem than the amount of plastic that ends up in landfills. I imagine in Coastal communities like San Fran, they are also concerned with the marine life that is injured, tortured and killed by this waste product. According to the nonprofit Center for Marine Conservation, plastic bags are among the top 12 garbage items most often found in coastal cleanups. In Ireland an extremely successful plastic bag consumption tax, or PlasTax, introduced in 2002 reduced consumption by 90%. Approximately 18,000,000 liters of oil have been saved due to this reduced production. Governments around the world are considering implementing similar measures.

I want to start my own organic garden, but what I am wondering is.. Is it okay to plant organic plants in plastic containers? Or do they pick up the toxins from them? I don't believe in using plastic because it's manufacture is horrible for the environment, but if it's already made, can I use it??Basically I just need to know if all sorts of nasty things will harm the organic nature of my plants if planted in plastic.

I've always had much more success growing in clay (terracotta) pots than in plastic ones. Not because of any leaching chemicals, but simply because they tend to get too hot and stuffy in the sun and I often get the impression that the roots get 'cooked'. Here's a very apt quote from a fellow gardener, which I think says much: Just imagine yourself having to live and breath in plastic clothes, yuck! Plastic really suffocates, and that creates a breeding ground for disease. Mind you...I've seen many very healthy and lush plants in nurseries which have always been in plastic pots and are thriving nevertheless. I think if you really want to use plastic, just make sure that the pots themselves don't get too much direct sunlight and don't heat up too much. Good luck! :)

Agricultural plastic products, such as beekeeping nets or plastic tunnels, help with crop pollination by creating a controlled environment that attracts and protects pollinators like bees. These products can enhance pollination rates, increase crop yields, and improve the overall quality of fruits and vegetables.

There are several types of additives commonly used in agricultural plastic products. These include UV stabilizers, which protect the plastic from degradation caused by sunlight exposure; antioxidants, which prevent the plastic from breaking down due to oxidation; colorants, which provide the desired hue to the plastic; anti-static agents, which reduce static buildup on the plastic surface; and slip agents, which improve the slipperiness of the plastic to aid in handling and processing. Other additives may include flame retardants, fillers, and plasticizers, depending on the specific requirements of the agricultural application.

To establish ground cover in a newly landscaped area, there are a few steps you can follow. First, prepare the soil by removing any weeds or debris and loosening it with a garden fork or tiller. Next, choose an appropriate ground cover plant that suits your soil type, sunlight conditions, and aesthetic preferences. Plant the ground cover plants at the recommended spacing, ensuring they have enough room to grow and spread. Water the area thoroughly after planting and make sure to provide regular watering until the ground cover is established. Applying a layer of organic mulch can help retain moisture and suppress weed growth. Finally, provide regular maintenance, including occasional trimming or mowing, to promote healthy growth and prevent overcrowding.

To choose the right ground cover for a specific light requirement, it is important to consider the amount of sunlight the area receives. Shade-loving ground covers such as hostas or ferns are suitable for areas with limited direct sunlight, while sun-loving options like creeping thyme or sedum work well in areas with full sun exposure. Understanding the light conditions and selecting ground covers accordingly will ensure their successful growth and provide an aesthetically pleasing landscape.
