    It’s made from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). This material was made in 1872 by German chemist Eugen Baumann on accident. Polyvinyl Chloride is made with Chlorine (Cl) and ethylene. When these two are combined ( at extremely high temperatures) they create vinyl chloride monomer. The vinyl chloride monomer can then be polymerized to make polyvinyl chloride. Polyvinyl Chloride is then turned into what we call “synthetic leather”. Chlorine is found in the ocean water, as a part of sodium chloride (NaCl). It’s also found in the earth’s crust. Interestingly, chlorine is poisonous and sometimes fatal, to humans so it is not naturally in the…

    By launching IPAD, in January 2010, and releasing it into the market in April, Apple introduced a potential new product category in computers which is likely to change the way consumers interact with their devices. IPAD was able to meet a changing consumer need which saw them preferring to ‘swipe a finger across a touch screen’ instead of using a keyboard. More than 15 million units were sold in the first year alone. In a move which surprised many market watchers, Apple launched IPAD2, in March 2011, slightly more than a year after the first IPAD was released onto the market. Surprisingly!, because many marketers would have thought that IPAD1 had not yet gone through its full product life cycle. However, this move by Apple is in response to the changing competitive environment which has seen growth in the interest of tablet computers from competitors. Analysts predict the computer tablet market to treble in size in 2012. By launching IPAD2, Apple has left competitors playing ‘catch up’ in a growing segment with consumers hungry for new products. There are a dozen or more competitors with rival tablets to IPAD2 likely to be launched in 2011 from competitors like Microsoft and Toshiba.…
