This paper describes a research project into public attitudes towards glass recycling in Scotland which was undertaken with the objective of identifying ways of increasing the recycling rate. Interviews were carried out of users and non-users at a number of sites in different districts in Scotland with the object of ascertaining the knowledge of glass recycling, motivation and behaviour of both groups. The results gave considerable insights into the types of people that were involved in recycling, their aspirations, motivation, types of trip, mode of transport etc. Significant insights into motivation of non-recyclers were also obtained. Interestingly, it seemed that glass recycling promotional campaigns had made little impact on either group.A number of conclusions were drawn from the study and suggestions about the appropriate targeting of future promotional campaigns put forward.

An anatomically based coordinate system is a useful tool for standardizing the placement of instrumentation on segments of the human body or human surrogate. It is suggested that this system be based upon a fixed set of anatomical landmarks that are easily located by palpation and/or x-ray. A set of coordinate systems for the head, torso and extremities is proposed. Such systems will aid investigators in comparing data acquired at different laboratories involved in impact injury research. These systems can also be used for accurately locating the center of gravity of a body segment and for describing body motion in an impact environment.
