A recycling center ships tons of glass. One shipment weighs 540 kg. Calculate its volume.
Answers
Explanation:
India is a blip on the global shipbuilding radar. Just 0.05% of the world’s ships by weight were made in India in 2018, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad). But when it comes to taking these ships apart at the end of their life, India is a world leader, or at least used to be, till the competition from neighbouring Bangladesh became too hot to handle.
Between 2016 and 2018, India’s share of the gross tonnage of ships recycled worldwide slid from 31% to 26%, as per Unctad data, while Bangladesh’s rose from 28% to 47%. But India hopes its new Recycling of Ships Act and its recent accession to the Hong Kong International Convention (HKC) for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, 2009, will put the country back on top. The provisions of HKC are included in the new law.
