Printing of wool, avikanagar 29.9.03
The document discusses the process of printing wool fabrics. It covers wool preparation including scouring and chlorination. It then discusses the printing process including recipes, dyes used like reactive and discharging dyes, and machines. Key steps are chlorination to prepare the wool, applying print pastes containing dyes and chemicals, and steaming to fix the dyes onto the wool fibers. Considerations for washing and achieving colorfastness are also covered.
Wool Fibre
Wool is a natural protein fiber collected from sheep. The finest wool comes from young sheep and is called fleece or clip wool, while wool taken from slaughtered sheep is called pulled wool. Wool is composed mainly of keratin (33%), dust (26%), and suit (28%). Wool fiber has a symmetric structure and is easily dyed with reactive dyes. It has specific properties including a specific gravity of 1.31, moisture regain of 13-16%, and tensile strength of 1.35 g/d when dry. In addition to clothing, wool is used for various applications such as blankets, carpeting, felt, and insulation.

Driving Carton Recycling Value Chain by Jiayu Wan, Tetrapak
This document discusses driving carton recycling value chains. It notes that in 2016, 644,000 tons of packaging materials were invoiced in China, with 153,000 tons of used beverage cartons recycled. Recycling used beverage cartons faces challenges including low profit margins for collectors due to high transportation costs. China's ban on waste imports also impacts carton recycling by lowering waste paper prices and requiring investment in local recycling infrastructure.
Bio-Based Material Applications by Daniel Gao, DSM

He has had three papers published internationally and issued two patents (one pending). He currently works as an Account Manager in the DSM engineering plastic department, and is in charge of business maintenance and development in South China and Zhejiang province. As a member of DSM Sustainability Ambassadors, he joined One Young World Summit in Bogota in 2017, focusing on the UN Sustainable Development Goals, participates in DSM sustainability activities and is responsible for promoting sustainable product portfolio solutions.
Bioplastics: Myth or Solution by Dr Jim Jem
What are the underlying biases and preconceived notions that we have about the products labelled "bio" or "green"? Are there other “bio”s that we need to be wary of?
Dr Jem's talk will cover bioplastics from a holistic perspective, with a focus on: types of bioplastics, pro's and con's of PLA, how is PLA 'industrially' recycled or composted, innovations in the bioplastics world, other plant-based packaging alternatives, etc.
Dr. Jem received his Ph.D. and 2 Masters degrees in biochemical engineering, and numerous awards in the USA, and worked 15 years in engineering, biotech, and pharmaceutical companies such as Ratheon, Serono, Diversa, with excellent track record with multiple awards. In 2000, he moved back to China to work for biotech and bioplastic companies such as Cargill and NatureWorks PLA. He has served as the China General Manager for Total Corbion PLA JV and previously for Corbion Purac since 2007, and serves as a Visiting Professor for several local Universities.
Careers in the environmental sector
This document provides an overview of careers in the environmental sector. It discusses the evolution of environmental education and jobs over the past four decades. Current trending jobs include environmental impact assessment, environmental management systems, and environment, health and safety roles. The document outlines many specific environmental career options and predicts high growth areas for the next decade, including jobs in renewable energy, green building, conservation, and sustainability. It also profiles some corporate sustainability initiatives and local green companies in China.
Design for Polluted and Toxic Environments
Gensler, a leading design firm globally, spent three years researching and conducting several experiments related to smog and altitude, indoor pollution and living walls, and outdoor green spaces. The study aims to come up with ideas and methods for how architecture and engineering can improve the way we design buildings to address air quality both indoors and outdoors. Fortunately, their results were very insightful. We believe that buildings themselves can become the filters; not just for the users, but also for the whole population.
In this presentation, Kyle presents us the results from three years of research that he and his team conducted to discover how to address air quality both indoors and outdoors through the way we design buildings. Their studies included the efficiency of Living Walls, the effectivity of particulates at various altitudes, and conceptualization of a prototype lung to passively clean air.
Kyle is the Founder and Research Director for Gensler’s “Design for Polluted and Toxic Environments”. His research seeks to use design as a way to problem solve issues related to indoor and outdoor air quality. He has received awards for his work as a designer from AIA, IIDA, US Green Building Council, ID Best of the Year Award, FX International Interior Design Award, Blue Print Design Award, Surface Design Award, and A2asia Award. Additionally, Kyle is a Lecturer at Tongji University’s Design Innovation School & FabO Maker Space, and recently joined forces with the Climate Reality Project, led by former US Vice President Al Gore as a “Global Climate Leader” and Mentor.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
