The inaugural CSP Today India awards ceremony takes place on March 12, and CSP developers, EPCs, suppliers and technology providers can now be nominated.

With Phase I projects now drawing closer to completion, the first milestone in India's CSP learning curve is drawing closer. CSP Today has chosen the next CSP Today India conference (12-13 March, New Delhi) as the time for the industry to reflect upon its progress and celebrate its first achievements.
At the awards ceremony, industry leaders will be recognized for their achievements in one of 4 categories: CSP India Developer Award, CSP India Engineering Performance Award, CSP India Technology and Supplier Award, and the prestigious CSP India Personality of the Year.

A new study of the faeces of captive seals has shown that microplastics can travel high up the food chain and affect even the large predators of the oceans. Microplastics are ingested directly by the zooplankton—the lowest link in the food chain. The zooplankton is eaten by fish; and the microplastic finally reaches the seal, which consumes the fish. Various studies have shown that once ingested, microplastics can settle in the stomach and lead to reduction in feeding capacity of organisms. They can also be detrimental to the intestinal function and reproductive system. A total of 12 different polymers were found from the fish and seal, ranging from 0.5-6 mm in length. Ethylene propylene (used in paints, coatings, inks) was the most frequently found polymer followed by polypropylene (in bags and textiles).
