BPA stands
for Bisphenol A,
a chemical that is often found in consumer goods. It is a colorless solid material
that is soluble in organic solvents but is poorly soluble in water.BPA has been
in commercial use since 1957 (around 63 years) and is used to make plastics and
epoxy resins. BPA plastic gets turned into CDs, DVDs, sports equipment, water
bottles, and other goods. BPA epoxy resins are often used to line food and
beverage cans. An estimated 10 billion pounds of BPA was produced for
plastic manufacturing in 2011, making it one of the highest volume chemicals
produced worldwide.BPA is a potentially harmful chemical. And because it is so
widely used, the concerns surrounding it are severe.
People are
getting health conscious day by day; hence it provides an opportunity to
produce the goods which provide health and environmental advantage at
large. Water bottles, whether reusable
or plastic, are used every day by millions of people around the world. The liquid that comes into contact with these bottles is being ingested consistently on a large scale. This means that any loose particles within the water
bottles can be carried away and ingested as well. Studies have shown that some
of these particles are potentially harmful. One in particular is BPA. Establishing
a manufacturing plant for theses bottles is a medium capital-intensive
business. We should first create awareness for the products we will be
producing which can be done by exploiting the following factors.
