Introduction

Plastic is fantastic!

Plastic is strong, flexible, durable, versatile, lightweight, safe and inexpensive. It is made from a by-product of oil refining which used to be wasted, so it makes good sense to make use of it and produce plastic instead of flaring it off.

However, Ordinary plastic bags and packaging can take up to 400 years to degrade! When plastic bags are improperly discarded, they remain scattered in our bushes, our trees, on our roads, in our rivers and seas, killing live stock and causing great damage to the environment.
