• ENERGY, GREEN HOUSE GAS AND RESOURCE SAVINGS; AND, • INNOVATION THAT IMPROVES HEALTHCARE, REDUCES FOOD SPOILAGE AND
IMPROVES QUALITY OF LIFE.
PLASTICS DELIVER SIGNIFICANT SOCIETAL BENEFITS, INCLUDING:
TO RECEIVE THESE BENEFITS, PLASTICS MUST BE RECOVERED SO LITTER DOES NOT THREATEN NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS
PLASTIC AND OTHER LITTER IN THE ENVIRONMENT IS UNACCEPTABLE
