Polypropylen e (PP) also known as polypropene, is one of the largest and single most consumed polymer resin in the world. It is a synthetic, high molecular weight thermoplastic polymer, which can be easily formed by catalytic polymerization of propylene. Due to its superior quality, its demand is increasing, especially in consumer disposable and automobile industry. This has resulted in countless opportunities for the global polypropylene market. Additionally, the trend of replacing metal with polypropylene is another factor contributing to the growth of the global polypropylene market.

Sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions are caused by combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil. Waste materials including tires, municipal solid wastes, industrial process waste, etc. are the other major contributors of sulphur dioxide emissions. All the prominent industrialized nations around the globe have formulated regulations concerning mitigation of carbon and sulphur dioxide emissions. Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) is a technology which removes sulphur dioxide (SO2) from the flue gas emitted from fossil-fuel power plants prior to its release into the atmosphere.

Disinfectants are chemicals that are applied to objects and surfaces in order to eliminate microorganisms that thrive on them. Different varieties of disinfectants are applied for different purpose. Some disinfectants are strong and are effective against a wide spectrum of microorganisms, while some are mild and applicable to eliminate only certain disease causing organisms. Disinfectants can be broadly segregated into three main types, namely, air disinfectants, water disinfectants and surface disinfectant. A variety of chemicals are used in different proportions to manufacture disinfectants applicable for various purposes.

Conveyor belts are primarily employed for carrying objects, from one point to another. The belts typically comprise two or more pulleys to rotate a belt in continuous circles. The material to be transported in placed on the belt and is carried to the end point on the belt. Commonly, two pulleys are employed for functioning of one conveyor belt one of the pulleys is rotated and it drives the other pulley while it is rotating. The belts are generally used for transportation in close distances, generally within a building.

The new technological developments are making manufacturing industry smarter in terms of efficiency with minimizing defect, waste and downtime. In order to overcome the limitations of traditional labour work in industries and enhance the capability of operators, industrial robotics has been evolved. Installation of industrial robots also helps to gain competitive advantage by making business process more dynamic. As defined by ISO 8373 standards the industrial robot is "an automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose manipulator programmable in three or more axes". Today, the Industrial robots are increasingly being installed in various industry such as food and packaging, automobile, electronics etc.

A solution is defined as a mixture of two or more substances with uniform chemical and physical properties. Every solution consists of two basic components as solvent and solute. The main purpose of the solvent is to convert substances into a suitable form for a particular use, with its ability to dissolve, suspend or attract other materials. Solvents once used can be discarded, reused or recycled in an eco-friendly manner. Usually industrial solvents are liquids but they can also be present in the form of solids and gases.

The Asia Pacific biochar market is expected to witness significant contribution to the global biochar market, by registering a robust growth of nearly 10% by 2020. Growth of biochar market is also associated with the bio-fuel sector as the former is a by-product of the bio-fuels industry. With already established market of biochar in China and Japan, Asia Pacific biochar market is expected to witness positive growth with an increased market share of 12% in 2020 as compared to 10% in 2013. Country wise, Greater China accounts for about 94.7% of the Asia Pacific market, followed by ASEAN with a share of 5.2%. The trend is expected to be almost the same in the next six years with Greater China expected to account for 95% share of the Asia Pacific biochar market.

Polyvinyl Chloride generally known as PVC is a polymer which is widely produced after polyethylene and polypropylene. It is said to be the third largest most widely produced polymer. PVC is preferred against traditional materials that include iron, copper or wood in a number of profile applications due to its operational efficiencies and benefits. Pure polyvinyl chloride is a brittle solid white in color and slightly soluble in tetrahydrofuran whereas insoluble in alcohol. It can be made flexible and soft by adding plasticizers and phthalates. In flexible and soft form, PVC is used in electrical cable insulation, plumbing and inflatable products and some applications which can replace rubber. PVC has high mechanical and hardness properties, which enhance along with molecular weight and gradually decrease with rising or increasing temperature. PVC decomposes at high temperature as its heat stability is very poor. It has good insulation properties but owing to its high polar nature, its electrical insulation property is less significant to non-polymers that include polypropylene and polyethylene.

Waste heat recovery is the process of capturing and reusing heat from streams of high energy content generated during various refining processes in industrial sectors. These include sectors such as chemicals, petroleum, automotive etc. Industrialization continues to grow rapidly, and as large amounts of heat is being generated, its preservation and reuse has become a matter of great concern for various industries. Various methods are being employed on a large scale in the industrial sector to reduce energy consumption, operational costs, green-house gas and carbon emissions. Use of waste heat recovery systems could be an ideal move for various industrial processes to enhance their economic feasibility. As the industrial sector continues efforts to improve energy efficiency, waste heat recovery systems offer an attractive opportunity to ensure an low emission environment.

Airbags are driver safety devices deployed in vehicles to provide cushioning and protection to passengers in the event of crashes/accidents. The bag is made of thin nylon fabric, and is folded into the dashboard, steering wheel, seat, roof or door. The crash sensor sends a message to inflate the bag in case of collision, while the inflation system helps in immediate inflation of air bag inside the passenger cabin.The global market for airbags is expected to grow by a double-digit CAGR in the next six years. North America is leads the market followed by Europe and Asia Pacific. Due to advancements in technology, U.S is one of the largest markets for air bags. European countries are on the verge of economic recovery and are expected to show decent market growth in coming years.
