As a result of intensive sponsorship and both scientific and commercial research efforts, biologically degradable polymers (BDP) have been developed in the last few years to be ready for practical utilisation. The application of BDP for packaging purposes was considered to be the most practical area for their use.

The European Union (EU) as a party to the Kyoto Protocol has made a commitment to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by 8% from the base-year 1990 to the commitment period 2008 to 2012. In order to fulfil this commitment, the EU has decided to implement a system with tradable emissions allowances, the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS).

Positive moments in international climate diplomacy generally do not last very long. On 18 November 2004, Russia finally completed its ratification of the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). In accordance with Article 25.1, Russia’s ratification was the last one needed for the Protocol to enter into force, which took place amid worldwide celebrations on 16 February 2005.

Bionics: Learning from Nature - Textured GRP pipes with improved run-off properties

Experimental tests on a flat and a semi-circular-shaped channel section, and on a 25 m long concrete channel section, have succeeded in finding effectively functional surface textures easily implementable in pipe production, and using which depositions of solids can be avoided even at low rates of flow and only slight gradients and, in the case of only intermittent operation, any deposited solids can be quickly rinsed off.
