  2. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    Materials that allow the transmission of light waves through them are called optically transparent. Chemically pure (undoped) window glass and clean river or spring water are prime examples of this. Materials that do not allow the transmission of any light wave frequencies are called opaque. Such substances may have a chemical composition which ...

  3. Opacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opacity

    An opaque substance transmits no light, and therefore reflects, scatters, or absorbs all of it. Other categories of visual appearance, related to the perception of regular or diffuse reflection and transmission of light, have been organized under the concept of cesia in an order system with three variables, including opacity, transparency and ...

  4. Packaging waste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packaging_waste

    Cartons are typically tall and wide but very thin. This has an inefficient material-to-volume ratio; it is wasteful. Structural packaging engineers are aware of the opportunity to save packaging costs, materials, and waste but marketers find benefit in a "billboard" style package for advertising and graphics. An optimized folding box would use ...

  6. Biodegradable waste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodegradable_waste

    Transforming food waste to either food products, feed products, or converting it to or extracting food or feed ingredients is termed as food waste valorisation. Valorisation of food waste offers an economical and environmental opportunity, which can reduce the problems of its conventional disposal.

  7. Transparent ceramics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparent_ceramics

    Transparent armor is a material or system of materials designed to be optically transparent, yet protect from fragmentation or ballistic impacts. The primary requirement for a transparent armor system is to not only defeat the designated threat but also provide a multi-hit capability with minimized distortion of surrounding areas.

  8. Biodegradable polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodegradable_polymer

    Polyhydroxyalkanoatesas an example, have a degradation period for up to three to six months. Last, the cost issue. The production technology of biodegradable polymer is still immature, the cost of resources such as labor and raw materials in large production quantity scale will be comparably high.

  9. List of waste types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_waste_types

    Waste comes in many different forms and may be categorized in a variety of ways. The types listed here are not necessarily exclusive and there may be considerable overlap so that one waste entity may fall into one to many types.
