Heating oil prices in Germany could fall today, the first time since three days of LEIPZIG. (Ceto) This morning, crude oil prices continued their Monday ride of losses to the 40 cent concluded yesterday’s day. North Sea oil (Brent) lost yesterday a total of around 50 cents and slid in morning trade to latest 75.65 dollars per barrel. For comparison, despite the loss of 6.50 dollars are more than a year ago. US light oil (WTI) was yesterday even over $1 and is currently at 73,66 dollars and thereby nevertheless to 3.50 dollars above the price of 12 months ago. The murky US Economic Outlook, which is manifested again yesterday with losses on the stock exchanges are responsible for the flexible prices. Price currently pushing the hurricane Earl, which although up 4 was upgraded to category, is also probably but West to the production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico passes and allows to continue uninterrupted production.
She in turn could lead to a further increase in oil stockpiles. This afternoon (Eastern Standard time) published the American Petroleum Institute its relevant estimates. Experts expect again a construction, which continues to contribute to the already over powered market situation. Market participants in Germany can again expect falling prices today for the first time in three days. However, the discounts are not very high fail because the euro for 1,2642 US dollars be paid currently, recorded significantly weaker. That reported the online portal of the journal fuel level and oil review on its website.

Compost plants doubt biodegradability of waste experts recommend the rest dustbin Bonn/Berlin / Brussels – Bio-plastics are organic conception of many experts in the theory. Practically they are not uniformly marked, suffer from a Babylonian confusion, can contain heavy metals and propel compost works in the ruin. 1988 awarded the recycling codes for the six most common plastics, bioplastics had no economic significance in the modern sense. The codes have triangular frame bearing the two-digit number of the material and sometimes including the material abbreviation in the middle. The American Economic Association of the plastics industry had taken the initiative of the society of the plastics industry (SPI). The Association numbered the polymeric PET (polyethylene terephthalate, no. 01), HDPE (high density, no.
02 Poyethylen), PVC (polyvinyl chloride, no. 03), LDPE polyethylene (low density, no. 04), polypropylene (PP, no. 05) and polystyrene (PS, no. 06). The number 07 with the abbreviation O\”(for other\”) was chosen for all other plastics. These include fiberglass (FRP) and now also Bio-plastics such as poly lactic acid (PLA, polylactic acid), acrylic, polycarbonate, nylon, ABS. The American codes were supplemented by additional materials and have become the international universal recycling codes\”developed, which are widespread throughout the world.
The assignment of the numbers continued. Number 8, batteries, paper and cardboard, metals, wood, textiles, glass and composite materials have been identified. Even lead glass and Cork were taken into account (No. 51 and no. 76). Bio-plastics are, however, not integrated. Theoretically, you can find space in the range of 42 to 49 which is kept clear for organic materials and biomass. A fundamental problem stands however. There is no uniform definition of the term. Plastics based on renewable raw materials be understood among organic polymers on the one hand, which can be biodegradable, but don’t have to. On the other hand is the term for biodegradable Used plastics, can be the biological origin or produced on a mineral oil basis.
