Dear Sirs,
There is an alternative to banning plastic, which is not the solution for the short or long term. OXO-BIODEGRADABLE d2w plastic will solve this problem. Manufacturers can use d2w additives to create totally degradable plastic with pre-defined degradation periods of 3-6 months up to 3 years depending on the end use of the product. The material is now widely used in India and is imported through a Company - Luibeg International in Chennai who have an exclusive distribution license to import the products. The beauty of the additive is that manufacturers will not have to change existing machinery or extrusion facilities.
See http://luibeg.blogspot.com The additives are all fully tested and certified and provide the total solution to plastic waste and pollution. Banning plastic manufacture only adds to the problem by closing down business and making people unemployed and yet, the plastic will always be there. Degrade the plastic and everyone will be happy.
