A new CEO-led, cross-sector, not-for-profit organization with a clear mission to develop, accelerate & deploy solutions, catalyze public & private investment & engage communities to help end plastic waste in the environment.
The global plastics industry is working towards a more circular economy for plastics, leading stakeholders to improve existing and invest in new waste management and recovery solutions, address illegal dumping, and to deploy advanced technologies to generate valuable new materials from waste.
There is currently a relative lack of publicly available information on global plastic waste generation and disposition (e.g., âwaste flowsâ). Better information would help support stakeholder investment, and help guide decision making to focus on areas of greatest need. Because investments and other interventions are undertaken at a national and sub-national level, this pilot survey has been undertaken in consultation with national representative with knowledge concerning local waste generation, collection, recycling, energy recovery and disposal of plastics waste in individual countries.
This survey presents national level responses, and then uses that information to make general global predictions on plastic waste flows. While this information can have directional benefit, it has important limitations to this methodology. First, plastic âleakageâ into the environment varies greatly from country to country, and even within different parts of each country. Furthermore, regulations, economics and priorities for waste management vary greatly. Finally, as this is thought to be a first global survey, it is expected that subsequent analysis and measured data will result in more reliable iterations. Irrespective of this, the study defines a first base line to monitor the further developments over the next few years. This pilot study was also carried out to define and develop a uniform basic data structure on national, regional and global level and to encourage other countries participating in this project, which still have gaps in their plastics statistics. In addition, this publicly available pilot study can be used by other parties as a basis for further specific studies.

The Maturation of LCA as a Basis for Sustainability Metrics across the Organi...Sustainable Brands
Â
Discussions about life cycle assessment (LCA) usually center around either its tremendous promise for helping us make sense of the very complex questions posed by sustainability issues, or its occasional failure to live up to that promise - and the frustrations surrounding the resources required along with the limited issue LCA is competent to address. The sustainability community has learned a tremendous amount in recent years and one can now see a coming-of-age of LCA-based approaches that are more practical, more focused and more scientifically advanced than what was available just a few short years ago. This session will focus both on explaining these developments to the participants with a set of expert speakers, as well as offering active feedback. In particular, the session will look at how LCA has been maturing beyond its core and reliable applications, such as product carbon foot-printing, into applications that address many more types of questions with more reliable information. The themes to be presented will focus on how LCA has matured in dimensions of the subjects on which it is focused, the issues it is addressing, and the scale on which it is happening.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
Â
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Â
Terzaghi's soil bearing capacity theory, developed by Karl Terzaghi, is a fundamental principle in geotechnical engineering used to determine the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. This theory provides a method to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of soil, which is the maximum load per unit area that the soil can support without undergoing shear failure. The Calculation HTML Code included.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

Interview with Dr. Raed Al- Zubi about
the I Plastics E-Volution Conference:
From Molding to 3D Printing
Raed Al-Zubi is the new president of the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE), the
organization that represents more than 20,000 plastic engineers around the world which
is currently celebrating its 75 anniversary. Al-Zubi will be taking part in the âI SPE
Plastics e-Volution Conference: From Molding to 3D Printingâ which will be held at
Equiplast 2017.
Source: EQUIPLAST
Question: What is the main objective of the first SPE Plastics e-Volution Conference that you are organizing at
Equiplast 2017?
âI believe that we have a number of main objectives that we are looking to achieve. Our Society is committed to
embracing and enabling relevant cutting-edge technologies impacting our industry now and into the future; Additive
Manufacturing /3D printing is one such technology that we believe will greatly benefit from the science and materials
of plastics. Our newly established Special Interest Group(SIG) will insure that the interested plastics professional will
have access to the highest quality platform for expanding their knowledge and networking opportunities and this
conference is a fitting example.
Our global society strongly believes in collaboration with industry peers, like Equiplast. This provides the plastics
professional and the industry as a whole a comprehensive and relevant platform addressing a wide range of topics,
applications, technologies, manufacturing processes driving the growth of Additive Manufacturing today. This
conference is a representation of such effective collaboration.â
2. pĂĄg. 2
Dr. Raed Al-Zubi, the President of the Society
of Plastics Engineers: "Plastics are a
contributor for a better world "
You were recently elected president of the SPE. What are the objectives of your tenure as president?
âWhether it's the President of the Society or any member of our volunteer leadership, our primary objective is support
our Sections, Divisions, and Special Interest Groups in their goal of serving the SPE customer; the plastics professional
and our valued industry. This you will find as a central theme of any President to the Society.
For me in specific, and as highlighted in my year's theme of "It's our future, lets embrace it" our Society could not be
in a better place to serve our customer through a wide range of valued added services and solutions. One example is
THE CHAIN our web based communication platform where plastics professionals can connect with their peers and
throughout the world. It's an exceptional communication platform to share information, insights, and as important
network with each other as communities and as technical groups. Another example, our weekly newsletter PLASTICS
INSIGHT that provides a focused and tailored inside look at our industry. â
In this respect, what challenges are plastics engineers having to deal with?
âOne challenge that I would like to highlight is that with the age of the internet, came a massive explosion in the
availability of information and content. When it comes to basic or generic information, one can only access any of the
available search engines to get the desired. However, our industry with its continued expansion into high-end cutting-
edge applications, such as what this conference is addressing, a greater need for accessing specialized and sometimes
highly technical knowledge is now needed. Here our Society provides the solution to this challenge through its relevant
events and it's continually expanding and searchable data base.â
In spite of the numerous advantages of plastics, they have many detractors and there are even some countries
legislating against them. Why do you think plastics have such a bad image?
âBefore I address this question, we first need to reaffirm the importance of plastics in the betterment of our lives. One
can only look at the medical industry and see how plastics continues to play any important part in saving lives. Also,
when we look at the environment which we all have a vested interest to protect, plastics have had a direct impact on
reducing carbon emissions through their light weight properties which we find in automobiles and in many packaging
applications that have displaced the more heavier metal and plastic alternatives. Plastics is a contributor for good.
As a Society, we acknowledge that we have a responsibility when it comes to plastic waste which is a contributor to
the negative image that sometimes is associated with plastics. Even though, it is recognized that this is impacted by
human behaviour and awareness about the proper disposable of plastics articles, we cannot but be an active
participant in finding sustainable solutions. Here I would like to highlight the proactive work that is being carried out
by our Society in the area of bioplastics especially by our dedicated Bioplastics Special lnterest Group that is focused
on promoting an open exchange of scientific and engineering knowledge on the subject with an emphasis on "Cradle-
to- Cradle" solutions. â
What does the sector need to do to readress this situation?
âSimple, we need to get involved and engaged in the discussion and more importantly identifying the required
sustainable solutions. â
And what about the political powers? In this respect, is the situation in the United States very different from that
of Europe?
3. pĂĄg. 3
âIndeed, we see two different trends between these two regions; for the USA, the Shale Oil / Gas has been a game
changer for our industry. We see continued investments and growth in the chemical and polymer production sector
while Europe looks for differentiation and specialization. â
And finally, what do you hope to achieve by holding the conference as part of Equiplast?
âEstablish a strong starting foundation for this conference and our collaboration with Equiplast such that we see it
occurring periodically in the future. Also, our participants are delighted with their participation; where they are
enriched with the speakers, papers, and talks presented; exposed to the latest trends impacting Additives
Manufactures thus enhancing their capabilities as plastics professionals and in turn continue to strengthen our
Industry. â
With this Conference a new technical Networking Group is being formed: We are a technical interest group working
around the 3D Printing Technologies. We are a part of the Society of Plastics Engineers. The aim of this group is to
provide a platform for our participants to attend technical conferences, network with colleagues, publish and present
technical information and research, and stay current with news and information through the Special Interest Group
newsletters and conference proceedings.
We want to promote the knowledge sharing and creation among our members. The subjects to be developed initially
are listed below:
Virtual Models
STL, AMF, Voxelization, FEA Simulation
Properties Testing
New Standards, Characterization
Fused Filament Fabrication
Biocompatible & Thermoplastic
