    Big declines in Atlantic Salmon leads to questions about what happens out at sea

    Concerns about the big decline of the iconic Atlantic Salmon in Britain's river systems are leading scientists to investigate what happens to this iconic fish while it's out to sea, with, on average, only 3% of fish leaving the river returning to spawn and this figure has regularly dropped below 1%. If the decline continues, wild Atlantic salmon will disappear from UK rivers in the next 30 years.

Dolav

UN Approval for Dolav Ace is Brexit Proof

For UK waste and recycling, Brexit either way, does not change the Dolav Ace's 'UN Approved' status. The Dolav Ace is UN Approved packaging for the transport of dangerous goods. Brexit is not planned to affect UN approval in the UK.

Dolav Ace is UN Approved for Dangerous   Goodsmain copyThat is good news for the lead-acid battery recyclers who dubbed this Dolav plastic pallet box, 'The Battery Ace'. Other recyclers recognise the box that can handle lead-acid batteries and contain strong sulfuric acid, is safe and strong for the materials they are recycling. That really is the acid test.

At the UK's largest battery recycler G & P Batteries, part of Ecobat, Operations Manager, David Brookes said, "We use Dolav bins because they are UN Approved and leak proof." In Spain, Recobat's David Calleja said, "Dolav Ace lasts three-times longer."

Abuse testing by TÜV SÜD of the Ace is also Brexit proof. Dropped, crushed, spiked and rotated. That is what testing organisation, TÜV SÜD Product Service did to the Dolav Ace and competitive plastic pallet boxes to see how they compared. The Dolav Ace out-performed the competition. It is Abuse and Brexit Ready!
