$Any image two hotdog dogs are shown. The top hotdog dog sitting in a bun is straight below, a bun with a curved hot dog. The text reads. How a "growth company" grows Are straight hot dogs better than curved ones? Hint: Rayonier cellulose chemistry lowers costs Answer: They're both mighty good eating. But the straight hot dog is skinless-and won't vary a jot in taste, color or texture. That's because it's shaped in special, sanitary cellulose casings. And it's the casing (stripped off after smoking) that makes straight "dogs" lower in cost, consistent in deliciousness. What's in it for you? Chemical cellulose for sausage RAYONIER IN CORPO RATED making is only a fraction of Rayonier's growth business. But this versatile raw material can actually keep many sausage meats several cents a pound cheaper on your butcher's shelf! That's because cellulose speeds production, delivers wholesome, appetizing, fresh meats. Thus, with ever better celluloses, Rayonier assures you real value in over 500 different products ranging from miracle fibers to hot dogs. In this way and others, Rayonier grows. cellulase chemistry Executive and General Sales Offices: 161 East 42nd St., New York 17, New York$

Global #Plastics Treaty Negotiations: Success is still possible
Plastic #pollution is causing severe problems worldwide. However, negotiations at the #UN in Geneva last August did not result in the expected global plastics treaty. In order to secure an agreement, there must be a reform of the #INC procedures, argue Paul Einhäupl, Linda des Savio, Melanie Bergmann and Annikla Jahnke in a new #nature comment. @ufz @awi

#Introduction Hi plastic nerds and podcast friends, great to join you here in the Fediverse!

This #podcast is about our strange, complicated relationship with a group of mighty materials called #plastic. #Plastics enable the modern world, but also cause some serious #pollution. What's the state of #science about the impacts on the #environment, #climate and human #health? How do we change our relationship to plastics?

Those are questions I explore in this slow media series. Join me!

All these #silicone products from kitchenware to lubricants and sealants; are they relatively safe to use or is it going to be an environmental disaster like #plastics?
Asking because I don't know.
