While the toy itself could not be patented because of its ancient origins, the plastic used to make it is patented. One gallon of re ned oil products can contaminate , gallons of groundwater.
In the last 20 years, the combined usage of the top 10 consumers of paper has increased from 92 million tons to million tons, a growth of per- cent. In Canada, fishing is more popular than golf and tennis combined, according to the Canadian Safe Boating Council.
Transport of material via conveyor belt dates back to , when belts were made of leather and used to transport grain very short distances. To- day, the longest single conveyor belt in the world is used in the phosphate mines of the western Sa- hara. It measures 60 miles in length! In the high performance medical device market, the goal is to save thousands or tens of thousands of dollars per patient treated, not a few cents per device manufactured.
Enormous volumes of fresh air are required in large and deep metal mines to provide safe work- ing condi ons for workers and their equipment. At some Canadian mines, up to 1, cubic meters 42, Enormous volumes of fresh air are required in large and deep metal mines to provide safe working conditions for workers and their equipment. Even small percentage efficiencies gained by re- placing metallic labyrinth turbocompressor seals with abradable or wear resistant polymeric seals can result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in increased production.
Plastics are the leading materials used in pharmaceutical packaging based on the breadth of applications for which they are suitable, their cost effectiveness and their favorable barrier and aesthetic properties. If a single store replaced its shelves with 10, pounds of PETG copolyester shelving, the energy saved could power five homes or take 3.
New building codes require security-type laminated windows in areas prone to tornadoes and hurricanes. The plastic laminate structure works by converting kinetic energy into heat energy, allowing it to bend without shattering.
The precision of new silicon chips is beyond belief. Imagine dropping a ball through a straw only a few microns larger than the ball without touching the sides of the straw — from the height of a 40 story building! Trains, buses, trucks, boats and RVs are lighter weight, more durable, safer and more comfortable thanks to plastics. Polycarbonate and acrylic glazing weighs half that of glass of the same thickness and can have up to 30 times the impact strength.
Plastic composite panels in Swiss trains has led to a 25 percent reduction in weight, leading to significant energy savings. Plastics have been instrumental in reclaiming waste water into safe water for more than seven decades. On average, the water footprint of an American is 32, glasses a day, or , gallons per year. Of that amount, 96 percent is used to grow food, make clothing and generate energy.

A close friend of the soldier, however, isn't as lucky. The soldier then mysteriously loses consciousness, waking up six months later in a facility belonging to Wardenclyffe Section , a secretive research organization of the United States government. A member of this organization, a man known as Goodluck , gives the soldier a special assignment with the following order: "You don't get to sit this one out. You're already infected with that lifeform I was telling you about. The soldier then travels alone to the same parallel world to find a cure for this infection, and to rescue those sucked into the wormhole half a year ago.
Waiting on the other side is a hellish landscape where victims of the infection have transformed into grotesque creatures known as Wanderers. The soldier also encounters a member of none other than XOF , and together their bitter struggle for survival begins. Metal Gear Survive was first announced on August 16, during the Gamescom event.

Konami USA replied to a fan on Reddit, in which they stated that Metal Gear Survive would have an option for those who prefer to play solo. They continued, stating that the game's story "should be considered as a parallel story. In an interview with Dengeki PlayStation , the development staff stated that the player would be able to customize their character, use several weapons, and develop their own equipment to suit their play style.
They also stated that while it would be possible to stealthily maneuver around enemies when playing solo, it would be much more difficult taking on waves of them compared to co-op play. It was also announced that the demo would be livestreamed during the event.
Finally, players could also split up. Yoji Shinkawa also stated that he wasn't involved with the game. He jokingly said that Metal Gear Survive would have mechs if he worked on it. For several months, there was little information concerning Metal Gear Survive.
However, on April 4, , Konami revealed that they would showcase a new trailer and playable demo of the game at E3 It also revealed some new enemies such as a grey humanoid enemy with a massively swollen head. The two modes, single player and Co-Op, are both linked via the base camp. Resources that are gathered include blueprints and raw materials, which can be used for weapons, defenses, and expendables.
In addition, the more the base camp grows, the higher-grade the crafting items accessed become. In particular, Metal Gear Survive would feature a 4-player co-op mode demo featuring two stages, and that anyone who played the demo would receive an exclusive sticker. It would also be the first time the gameplay is showcased in Japan.
On October 24, , it was announced that the game would be released in North America on February 20, and on February 22, in Europe. It also announced that Day 1 DLC would be available as well.
