Plastics & Resins Blog

It is a very good iniciative to diplay a well organized media campain to teach peaple that -plastics are the best material invented by men ever-that help to make millions of the nice looking and funtional products and cars -that we know now a days- including for health care and clinics or even for implants to replace human parts.

Since, there are many ignorant citizens and bad intentioned companies -an even politicians- that divulge wrong messages as:

"that plastics in general are cancerigens or dangerous to health", or

In some cases against a particular plastic as happen: with XPS coffe cups recently, PVC products, PET bottles, etc. etc.

But, I dont blame them at all, since we get what we plant grow:

And, this is the result of what some big companies baddly divulged in the past to replace some product for its benefit, ej:

1- as did a giant polymer Co with its PET bottle material- to replace the huge market that PVC bottles had once.

2- as did the giants paper Co. with ist paper Cup,to replace XPE coffe cups

3- as the desprestige campain agaist PVC toys in following site: http://machinedesign.com/ContentItem/72457/MaterialsControversyBrewingOverPVCinToys.aspx

etc.
