Announcement The Plastics and Rubber Institute announces the Prince Philip Award An international award open to both members and nonmembers of The Plastics and Rubber Institute has been announced. The award, for which the theme is "Plastics in the service of man," will be made to applicants, wherever resident, whose achievements are considered by the Council of the Institute to be beneficial to mankind in improving the quality of life, in easing pain and distress, or in conserving or extending the availability of natural resources, materials, and food. Examples of fields in which a beneficial achievement might be signalized by the award are conservation of resources and their widespread provision by economic means; plastics used in applications to replace or extend the use of essential, scarce materials; plastics used for the preservation of the natural scene by the conservation of land and water resources; improved methods for using plastics in food processing, preservation, and distribution; plastics used in the application of medical science and engineering to improve health and aid the handicapped; plastics used to improve the quality of life through better housing, transportation, and communication; plastics used to help in the development of intermediate technology for improving the standard of living of large numbers of people in less well developed countries; plastics used to improve education, to increase the enjoyment of le- isure, and to further the development of new art forms; or plastics used to improve the ef- ficiency of horticulture and agriculture. The award will be made not more than once in every two years and not less than once in every five years. It is open to individuals and to teams from companies, partnerships, associations, societies, or academic institutions. In considering submissions for an award, the Council wishes to see evidence of actual benefit as well as prospects for the future (commercial success as such will not be considered important).

Abstract

The Plastics and Rubber Institute announces the Prince Philip Award An international award open to both members and nonmembers of The Plastics and Rubber Institute has been announced. The award, for which the theme is "Plastics in the service of man," will be made to applicants, wherever resident, whose achievements are considered by the Council of the Institute to be beneficial to mankind in improving the quality of life, in easing pain and distress, or in conserving or extending the availability of natural resources, materials, and food. Examples of fields in which a beneficial achievement might be signalized by the award are conservation of resources and their widespread provision by economic means; plastics used in applications to replace or extend the use of essential, scarce materials; plastics used for the preservation of the natural scene by the conservation of land and water resources; improved methods for using plastics in food processing, preservation, and distribution; plastics used in the application of medical science and engineering to improve health and aid the handicapped; plastics used to improve the quality of life through better housing, transportation, and communication; plastics used to help in the development of intermediate technology for improving the standard of living of large numbers of people in less well developed countries; plastics used to improve education, to increase the enjoyment of le- isure, and to further the development of new art forms; or plastics used to improve the ef- ficiency of horticulture and agriculture. The award will be made not more than once in every two years and not less than once in every five years. It is open to individuals and to teams from companies, partnerships, associations, societies, or academic institutions.
