SCG Chemicals or SCGC, led by Mr. Chatri Eamsobhana, Chief Commercial Officer, has delivered 10,500 food-grade #recycledfoodcontainers to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA). The food containers are produced from used food containers collected from Bangkok activities and recycled by SCGC into new food containers through Advanced Recycling Technology, resulting in properties equivalent to virgin material and ensuring they are clean, safe, and suitable for food contact. The food containers will be used to package royal-provided meals for the public paying respects to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother at Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall. The handover was received by Mr. Chadchart Sittipunt, Governor of Bangkok, together with Mr. Sanon Wangsrangboon, Deputy Governor of Bangkok, and Mr. Pornphrom Vikitsreth, Adviser to the Governor of Bangkok, for further distribution by the Social Development Department and the Royal Kitchen, via Ms. Orathai Sakunee, Deputy Director of the...

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲'𝐬 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐃𝐆𝐄 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒-𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇: Many different properties of composite materials can be acquired through a stress-strain graph, such as Maximum Tensile Strength, Yield Strength, Young's Modulus, Resilience, Toughness, etc. 👀 As you can see, each different reinforcement shown in this graph possesses a distinct behavior during testing. Boron and carbon fiber have more inclined curves, and smaller total strain, thus they are more rigid (i.e have higher Young's Modulus). Materials like Spectra (PE fiber), kevlar (aramid fiber), and fiberglass (E-glass) possess a bigger elastic region, thus a higher total strain before failing. 😎 Understanding these fundamentals and comparing the behavior of different materials is very important for every engineer that works with composites, especially for Materials Engineers. The results for each type of fiber can greatly vary, of course, but graphs like this one paint a good picture of how di...

Niagara Bottling is breathing new life into California's recycling infrastructure with the acquisition of a first-of-its-kind, 305,000-square-foot recycling and packaging facility in Vernon, Los Angeles County, positioning the family-owned beverage manufacturer as one of the few US companies operating a complete bottle-to-bottle recycling process. The facility, previously operated by rPlanet Earth before shuttering in September 2025, was purchased from rPlanet Earth Los Angeles Holdings and rPlanet Earth Los Angeles. Along with the acquisition, Niagara obtained the rPlanet Earth brand, signaling its commitment to advancing circular economy solutions in the beverage industry. Investing in equipment: "We're proud to bring this facility back to life and become one of the few companies in the country with a true bottle-to-bottle process," said Rali Sanderson, president of Niagara Bottling. "As part of this work, we're investing in new equipment so we can turn rec...
