It will be decades before the UK Government builds a long-term storage for the country's radioactive nuclear waste; but where is this waste produced, contained, transported and stored in the interim, and just how much of it is there? Via an interactive map, Future Power Technology, provides the answers to these questions.

The recycling of plastic film climbed 4 to reach 1 bln lbs annually in 2011 for the first time Due to growth in the plastic and composite lumber industry as well as growth in the primary market for US recovered plastic film, more than double the plastic water bottle recycling rate but PET recycling industry fails across Europe

SiGNa's mobile- H2™ cartridge contains safe sodium silicide (NaSi); a powder that produces hydrogen (H2) on- demand from its reaction with any type of water, including salt water, packaged in a cartridge for use with fuel cells rated from 1 W to 3 kW.

Initially, the battery is filled with freshwater and a small electric current is applied to charge it up. The freshwater is then drained and replaced with seawater. Because seawater is salty, containing 60 to 100 times more ions than freshwater, it increases the electrical potential, or voltage, between the two electrodes. That makes it possible to reap far more electricity than the amount used to charge the battery.

Hot Air Gun for Pallet Shrinking Large objects, boats, container pallets need to be weather proofed using shrinkable polyethylene films. The airflow for these applications are very crucial to generate an even shrink across the large surface area of the substrate covering the object.

Alternative maritime power for docked container vessels has made steady progress throughout the decade. But isn't it time more ports and shipping lines adopted the technology? asks Alex Hawkes. As the climate talks in Copenhagen draw to a close and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) comes under increasing pressure to address the shipping industry's carbon emissions, alternative maritime power (AMP) is looking an increasingly obvious solution.
