Produktinformationen "''Green Plastics'': Surface Rugosity, Biofouling and Biodegradation"

Increasing concerns for environmental sustainablity have led to the commercialisation of a range of so-called ''Green'' plastics, the biodegradation of which have not been fully explored. This book provides a brief overview of biodegradable plastics and the factors influencing their environmental degradation. Novel research is reported on a range of these green plastics and explores the relationship between surface roughness and morphology, and microbial colonisation and biodegradation. Surface rugosity, monitored as average surface roughness (Ra), was found to play a key role in microbial colonisation. However, while statisitcal relationships between colonial biomass and plastic material weight loss were determined, this relationship was primarily due to relatively looslely attached species in the upper layers of the biofilm. The strategic use of enriched, undefined mixed microbial cultures during in vitro studies permits a degree of predictability when compared to environmental field studies. Despite the media hype a number of commerical plastics touted as envrionemtnally friendly showed negligible microbial colonisation or degradation in the field trials.

EU Gewährleistungssiegel

Die EU führt ein verpflichtendes, einheitliches EU-Label zur Information über die gesetzliche Gewährleistung ein, ergänzt durch ein Garantielabel, sofern eine freiwillige Herstellergarantie besteht.

Ziel der neuen Regelung ist es, Verbraucherrechte transparenter darzustellen und europaweit einheitliche Informationsstandards zu schaffen. Verbraucher sollen auf einen Blick erkennen können, welche gesetzlichen Mindeststandards gelten, unabhängig davon, in welchem Land oder bei welchem Händler sie einkaufen.

EU Warranty Label

The European Union is introducing a mandatory, standardized EU label to provide information about consumers’ statutory warranty rights. This will be complemented by a guarantee label where a voluntary manufacturer’s guarantee is offered.

The purpose of this new regulation is to make consumer rights more transparent and to establish consistent information standards across the European Union. Consumers should be able to see at a glance which statutory minimum protections apply, regardless of the country or retailer from which they make a purchase.
