Plastic is a
familiar component of modern living, used in all
sorts of packaging and household and commercial
applications. Whilst the benefits of low cost, light
weight, strength, imperviousness to gas
and water, transparency, sealability, and
printability are highly regarded, the very strength
and durability which makes plastic such a useful and
economic material can be a major problem when
disposal is required. Science has now
found the answer to this problem --
OXO-BIODEGRADABLE
PLASTIC.
The OPA has been formed, because
the industry needs an Association which can promote
understanding by the public, retailers and
governments, environmentalists and journalists, of
oxo-biodegradable plastic; and can make effective
rebuttal of any unfounded objections.
