WORK COMPLETED
As of this time, I have completed almost all of the research work and am putting the sections of the final report together. Here is a breakdown of the work that I have done so far.
Development of the Bottle
In the development section of my report, I have written a technical description of a typical PET soft-drink bottle. It is complete and gives the reader a good idea of what the product should look like and able to accomplish.
Favorable Properties
The section of the report describing the properties of PET is finished. I have chosen four physical properties that many raw materials containers are tested for, and I have shown how PET withstands these tests.
Manufacturing Processes
For the section on manufacturing processes, I have done research to help me recommend one particular production method for PET bottles. Here, I have described this chosen method and have explained exactly how a plastic bottle is produced on an assembly line.
Economics
I have finished work on half the economics section of this report. So far, I have written an economic comparison of the use of plastic and glass bottles.
