PET is a fully recyclable plastic, which can be processed after use and converted into rPET (recycled PET) to manufacture new products. However, in Chile less than 15% of PET reaches recycling plants to be transformed into rPET, says a report by the Chilean Plastics Industry Association (Asipla). This is clearly illustrated by the low household recycling rate of plastic bottles, which barely reaches 7%.

PowerPoint is one of the most widely used tools to design effective presentations that help communicate ideas and generate audience interest. However, these objectives are not always achieved.

Progress has been made in this technology at our University, thanks to iSlidesRC, a set of software components compiled as an add-in for PowerPoint, which allows the creation of interactive and editable slides during the projection of the presentation. The audience can also participate by editing the slides from their mobile devices.
