@digitag.bsky.social<<One misnomer that I think a lot of people don't know about plastic is that recycling is not a solution. Every time plastic gets recreated through recycling, the chemicals that are bound into the plastic can leach out more and more.>>

@enb.iisd.orgChemicals is #plastics is a growing concern.

@enb.iisd.orgAround 10,000 chemicals are added to #plastics.
Norway is concerned that some brominated flame retardants in plastics might also be POPs - chemicals that persist in the environment, are toxic, travel around the world, and move up food chains. @brsconventions.bsky.social
@enb.iisd.orgThe EU and Norway nominated two groups of brominated flame retardants used in #plastics, which could prompt a broader review of their potential POPs characteristics.

⸻"Hardened #denim is a #composite material stronger than most #plastics, with properties similar to #CarbonFibres"
⸻But what can you do with hardened denim, if you have a workshop in #Cornwall?
@formech.bsky.socialDesigned for a dedicated 48"x24" sheet size, the 4824LF is optimized directly for standard North American stock sheet dimensions. This eliminates unnecessary trimming, significantly reduces material waste, and streamlines pre-production preparation for #plastics fabricators & #packaging producers.
