Unnatural Resource?

Posted August 17, 2011 8:39 AM

Some buy plastic waste they've previously banned to pave roads; others finance recycling plants that sit nearly idle. While plastic consumption shows no signs of decreasing, who should be in charge of managing what could be the world's next renewable resource?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Plastics Fabrication, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Plastics Fabrication today.

Plastics are the best resourceful materials for our multi end use consumption. They are very well recyclable and convertible, renewable by all means.

If we keep consuming our mineral resources like ores, soils,sand a day will come, where we find no place to stand.

Plastics are best options to tackle material sustainability.

It is our negligent practices about disposal & handling of plastic articles.

If we care to dispose, recycle and convert, no plastic menace can bother humanity & environment.
