John has been researching energy usage by European Plastic Industry Sector Groups, with a view to provide them with the knowledge and means to reduce the energy consumption of the various processing methods.

You can sample the fruits of John's labours, by going to www.eurecipe.com If you submit your email addy you'll be emailed a copy of a European Best Practice Guide for the Plastics Industry, and if you register (no charge) you can download factsheets to help improve the efficiency of your energy use.

In about four weeks, an Interactive Toolkit will be available at the site, which will allow you to input details about your usage, energy charges and throughput and generate an evaluation of your energy consumption and guidance on where you may be able to improve.

Well worth paying a visit,and thanks for an interesting evening John
