Continuous improvement on the performance of glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene has been gaining ground to replace metal and other more expensive composite materials. Examples can be found in the weed trimmer from Black and Decker, the housing and adapter plate for pumps of Hayward Pool Products, air-cleaner housings, and trays for light trucks (172). The impact grade is suitable for hockey skate components, automotive fender liners, and ammo boxes.

Heat-based removal methods (Black and Decker, 1990 MHT Products, 1990 Masters, 1990) involve applying a localized heat source, such as a heat gun, to a specific surface. This causes the paint to separate irom the substrate so that it can be mechanically removed with putty knives, etc. Table 11.11 lists...

Semiconducting black polymers characterized as 44 have been prepared via slow heating of triple-decker (allyl)nickel diborolyl triple-decker complexes.44 EXAFS studies reveal an Ni-Ni distance of 3.35 A and a powder conductivity of ca. 10-2 S cm-1. When doped with iodine or oxygen, the conductivity of these polymers...

Black polymers of the type 49 (8) were obtained by thermal polycondensation reactions of trisally 1-dinickel-//-1,3-diborolyl triple-decker or its hexadiene-allyl-dinickel-//-l,3-diborolyl isomer 47 (50), and 50 was... 

Until 1995, the largest fraction of Ni-Cd batteries introduced into the market was in household and electronic equipment. The emergency lighting units market has been in constant but moderate growth during the 1990 s. From 1995, the cordless power tools application has taken a dominant position for these batteries (see also Figure 4) both in consumer and professional applications. A ten to twenty percent aimual market increase has been observed during the last three years (Black Decker 2001). 

The RBRC program has the support of over 30,000 collection sites in the United States and Canada where consumers can drop off their used NiCd batteries for recycling. Participating retailers in the United States include ACE Hardware, Ameritech, BellSouth Cellular, Black Decker, Car Phone Store, Cellular One, Circuit City, Radio Shack, Sear, Target and Wal-Mart. Consumers can locate the collection locations nearest them by calling 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-822-8837) or by visiting RBRC s website at www.rbrc.org. 

A growing area of concern is how to conscientiously dispose of products or their components. Black Decker avoided significant landfill costs and made money by seUing recyclable commodities. When there are no alternatives except disposal, the product or material needs to be appropriately scrapped. In an era of environmental concern (which will continue to grow and drive marketplace decisions), companies should take proactive action to develop environmentally sound landfiU or incineration programs. Not only will this allow favorable consumer reactions, but it may forestall government regulation and control. 

Dr. Plenert s ideas and publications have been endorsed by Steven Covey and many companies including Motorola, AT T, Black Decker, and FedEx.
