Drinking bottles, food packaging, bags, toys: many things in everyday life are made of plastic - but we only need some of them for more than a few hours or days. Around 400 million tonnes of plastic are produced worldwide every year. Only a small share of this is recycled and thus reused. Among the players that keep the plastics cycle going and successfully complete it, ...
If a car wheel loses air, most of us naturally assume a tyre puncture, and rightly so. But only few people are aware that rims can also leak air. The reason is that when making wheels, liquid lightweight metal is poured into a mould. During this process, fine pore cracks or leak paths can occur through which air can later escape. This is why manufacturers of aluminium wh...
