To serve 6 you'll need: Prep Time: 3 hours Cook Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 3 hours, 15 minutes Ingredients: 6 1/4 cups (750 g) unbleached all purpose flour A cake or package of active yeast of the kind sold in the supermarket. Preparation: Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Preheat your oven to 400 F (200 C). Grease a baking sheet and dust it well with finely ground salt. Let the dough rise about 10 minutes in the pan. Bake the focaccia in a low rack until it is a lively golden brown, turning it 180 dgrees when it is half-cooked, then remove it and let it cool. A couple of tips: Put a bowl of water in the oven with the focaccia, to keep it from drying out overmuch as it bakes.
| Escola de Diálogo de São Paulo ALIA Institute | Authentic Leadership in Action Mexican Food Recipes | Mexican Recipes Salmon is a wonderful fish to work with but make sure you get a good quality piece. This recipe calls for filets not steaks. Choose fresh (not frozen) salmon and pick some filets that are about 1 or 1¼ inch thick. A good indicator of freshness is a bright pink color. Fresh salmon smells like water not like fish. If you are using vacuum-packed fish then use the best before date as a freshness indicator as well as the color. Salmon can be baked, pan-fried, roasted, grilled, or even cooked in the crockpot. Serve the finished salmon with a side salad or with your favorite Mexican vegetable side dish. Make Flan the Traditional Mexican Way Mexican desserts are always a wonderful treat.

PET bottle recycling Bottles made of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET, sometimes PETE) are recycled to reuse the material out of which they are made and to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills. In many countries, PET plastics are coded with the resin identification code number "1" inside the universal recycling symbol, usually located on the bottom of the container. Usage of PET[edit] PET is used as a raw material for making packaging materials such as bottles and containers for packaging a wide range of food products and other consumer goods. Process[edit] "1-PETE" resin identification code[3] Post-consumer waste[edit] The empty PET packaging is discarded by the consumer after use and becomes PET waste. Sorting[edit] When the PET bottle is returned to an authorized redemption center, or to the original seller in some jurisdictions, the deposit is partly or fully refunded to the redeemer. Processing for sale[edit] Further treatment[edit] Melt filtration[edit] Global statistics[edit] See also[edit]

Biodegradable plastic Utensils made from biodegradable plastic Biodegradable plastics are plastics that are capable of being decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms. Two basic classes of biodegradable plastics exist:[1] Bioplastics, whose components are derived from renewable raw materials and plastics made from petrochemicals with biodegradable additives which enhance biodegradation. Examples of biodegradable plastics[edit] Development of biodegradable containers ASTM industrial standard definitions[edit] In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission and the EPA are the authoritative body for biodegradable standards. ASTM International defines methods to test for biodegradable plastic, both anaerobically and aerobically as well as in marine environments. Controversy[edit] Many people confuse "biodegradable" with "compostable". There is a major discrepancy between this definition and what one would expect from a backyard composting operation. Withdrawal of ASTM D 6002[edit] See also[edit]
Let's do it! World Plastic recycling Plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastic and reprocessing the material into useful products, sometimes completely different in form from their original state. For instance, this could mean melting down soft drink bottles and then casting them as plastic chairs and tables. Plastics are also recycled/reprocessed during the manufacturing process of plastic goods such as polyethylene film and bags. A percentage of the recycled pellets are then re-introduced into the main production operation. This closed-loop operation has taken place since the 1970s and has made the production of some plastic products amongst the most efficient operations today. Challenges[edit] Compared with other materials, such as glass and metal, plastic polymers require greater processing (heat treating, thermal depolymerization and monomer recycling) to be recycled. The use of biodegradable plastics is increasing.[1] Processes[edit] Thermal depolymerization[edit] Heat compression[edit] PS[edit]
