Product Information

This measure is not expected to have any significant economic impacts. Impact on individuals, households and families Working in chemistry is fascinating asyou get to understand how our world isbuilt and connected. And by knowingthat, you have the opportunity to try toimprove everyone’s day-to-day life. Lycra, tights, teabags, sellotape, super glue, nappies, acrylic paint, glasses and glitter are just some of the products that contain forms of plastic. Who knew?! Animalcare is a sustainable and passionate organisation committed to leading in animal health through innovative and trusted products and services to support the veterinary profession. It has recently launched its first novel product - Daxocox®. It is the first weekly oral NSAID and achieves not only significant improvement in the clinical signs associated with the pain of osteoarthritis (OA) in dogs, but may also help to reduce the risk of OA breakthrough pain.

Medical bags and tubing are a common Polyvinyl Chloride product. 3) Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC or Vinyl) Thermoplastic: Plastics that can be deformed easily upon heating and can be bent easily. Linear polymers and a combination of linear and cross-linked polymers come under thermoplastics. Example: PVC, nylon, polythene, etc. Having knowledge of the different types of plastic is critical to understanding the complexity of recycling, upcycling and the health factors associated with plastic. But the key word there is “complexity.” It’s a huge topic, so this article is just a starting point, meant to be a basic introduction for those that have little to no knowledge, not a comprehensive look for those already in the know.

Oral Biofilm Breakdown: Thanks to Xpersiv technology, this formula efficiently breaks down oral biofilm, further contributing to tartar reduction. Depending on physical properties, plastics are divided into two types: Thermoplastic and thermosetting. Several types of goods are exempt from being returned. Perishable goods such as food, flowers, newspapers or magazines cannot be returned. We also do not accept products that are intimate or sanitary goods, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases.

A whale shark swims beside a plastic bag in the Gulf of Aden near Yemen. Although whale sharks are the biggest fish in the sea, they're still threatened by ingesting small bits of plastic. Photograph by Thomas P. Peschak, Nat Geo Image Collection Plastics by the numbers Once at sea, sunlight, wind, and wave action break down plastic waste into small particles, often less than one-fifth of an inch across. These so-called microplastics are spread throughout the water column and have been found in every corner of the globe, from Mount Everest, the highest peak, to the Mariana Trench, the deepest trough.

It can be a lot of fun, because you don’tjust work by yourself. At Covestro, there’sa great team of more than 16,000scientists and colleagues from aroundthe world. Every day, we have differentchallenges so it never gets boring. Plastics often contain additives making them stronger, more flexible, and durable. But many of these additives can extend the life of products if they become litter, with some estimates ranging to at least 400 years to break down.Commenting on the launch of the Plaqtiv+® range, Animalcare Product Manager Eleanor Workman Wright said: “Despite research showing that at least 80% of dogs and 70% of cats are likely to develop periodontal disease by the age of three², dental care is still often neglected. While tooth-brushing is cited as the Gold Standard, it has to be used daily to achieve a significant degree of efficacy. This is often just not possible in the ‘real world’ and a more flexible approach can be helpful, with products such as water additives and gum sprays offering a practical, less time consuming solution in some circumstances. The changes introduced by this measure will not impact the costs previously outlined. Other impacts However, it’s understandable that many people make the assumption that it’s one material, all the same from top to bottom. In fact, there are hundreds of types of plastic (also called polymers), but only a handful that we interact with on a regular basis. Tartar Control: Scientifically developed, it helps reduce tartar formation, supporting healthier teeth and gums.

The first synthetic plastic was made in 1907,when a Belgian named Leo Baekelandinvented Bakelite in a lab in New York.Known as ‘The Material of 1,000 Uses’, it waseventually transformed into phones, radios,jewellery, chess sets and more! Tests have also confirmed liver and cell damage and disruptions to reproductive systems, prompting some species, such as oysters, to produce fewer eggs. New research shows that larval fish are eating nanofibers in the first days of life, raising new questions about the effects of plastics on fish populations. Stemming the plastic tideIt is not anticipated that this measure will impact on those in groups sharing protected characteristics. Impact on business including civil society organisations

Plastics have been consumed by land-based animals, including elephants, hyenas, zebras, tigers, camels, cattle, and other large mammals, in some cases causing death. Introducing Plaqtiv+ Oral Water Additive with Xpersiv technology, a scientifically formulated oral care solution designed to simplify your pet's dental hygiene routine. This innovative product not only freshens breath but also actively fights tartar buildup, promoting excellent oral health. Key Benefits:

Microplastics are breaking down further into smaller and smaller pieces. Plastic microfibers, meanwhile, have been found in municipal drinking water systems and drifting through the air. Harm to wildlife This hard and rigid plastic is resistant to chemicals and weathering, making it desired for building and construction applications; while the fact that it doesn’t conduct electricity makes it common for high-tech applications, such as wires and cable. It’s also widely used in medical applications because it’s impermeable to germs, is easily disinfected and provides single-use applications that reduce infections in healthcare. On the flip side, we must note that PVC is the most dangerous plastic to human health, known to leach dangerous toxins throughout its entire lifecycle (eg: lead, dioxins, vinyl chloride). Examples: Plastic/cling wrap, sandwich and bread bags, bubble wrap, garbage bags, grocery bags and beverage cups. 5) Polypropylene (PP) The Plaqtiv+® Water Additive has just received prestigious Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) approval. It is the first Water Additive in Europe to achieve this status, which confirms that it has delivered at least a 20% reduction in calculus in two studies¹. Other products in the range include a gum spray and a malt flavoured toothpaste. Each has been designed to support owner compliance through ease of use and through accompanying educational materials.
