It is estimated that only 6% of plastic water bottles are actually recycled instead of being put in landfills. In 2012 a census found that 33.6 million plastic water bottles ended up in landfills and 2 million were recycled.
PET is short for polyethylene terephthalate, which is the chemical name for polyester. It is made out of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid, or out of diethylene glycol and dimethyl terephthalate. Both processes are used, and the biggest advantage of using pure terephthalic acid in the process is it doesn't liberate methanol in the reaction.Virgin resin is new resin, as opposed to recycled resin from Coke bottles or plastic bags.
It is actually absolute magnitude, opposed to apparent magnitude which is how much light stars appear to give off.
I don't understand why anyone would be opposed to it. It could be the greatest medical progress in history and people are opposed to it? Idiots.
Two things that are diametrically opposed have opposite beliefs or natures that are incompatible. Christianity and Satanism are diametrically opposed because one exalts God, and the other exalts the individual.
A zonetime is the time in a specific timezone, as opposed to standard time.
Milk stays fresh longer in cartons, over see-through containers which means it tastes better, for longer... Cartons are also more eco-friendly as opposed to plastic jugs. The down side is cartons are more expensive.
In a biogeochemical cycle, elements like carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur are recycled. These elements are essential for life processes and are continuously recycled between living organisms and the environment in a cycle of uptake, utilization, release, and reabsorption. This recycling is crucial for sustaining life on Earth.

No he actually had slaves himself.
It's more complicated than it seems. In addition to manufacturing cost, we also have the cost to mine the ore, transport ore, refine the metal from its ore (especially high with aluminum, which is why recycled aluminum is "good" and new aluminum is "bad.") and transport the product from bottle-making location to use location. If a bottle is used many times, whether metal or plastic, its energy content is of minor importance because of the multiple use -- but you must add the energy to heat the water that is used to wash it out. Any discussion of water bottles must also consider the sanitary aspect of single-use plastic bottles which are recycled, as well as the convenience factor of being able to carry sealed bottles in a car or anywhere else. Lastly, there is the health aspect of drinking water as opposed to sugary drinks, at least for people who consume more calories than they burn up, which is most of us.
A theoretical yield is what we think it may be as opposed to what it actually is. In another sense, a theoretical yield deals with principals as opposed to practice
You may wish to clarify your question, but when a beer is "on tap" or "on draft" that means it served out of a keg typically into a pint glass, as opposed to the alternative being bottles.
The advantages of using a real Christmas tree, as opposed to a fake one, is the authentic look of the tree. Secondly, real trees will smell of pine and can be recycled.
Prices for personalized water bottles vary depending on what outlet one purchases them from. Some of the cheaper personalized bottles are only 1 dollar more than a standard water bottle.
It is actually absolute magnitude, opposed to apparent magnitude which is how much light stars appear to give off.
While less used today, transporting milk in glass bottles generally provides better protection for the milk. Glass bottled milk also tends to taste better, and are more environment friendly than plastic.
A hypocrite is someone who pretends to have morals, virtues and values they don't actually possess, and their actions belie the way they say they believe.
