Plastics started as a disruptor for the greater good. As a packaging material, it provided and continues to provide an affordable and durable alternative to the once ubiquitous paper bags.

Plastics are still a disruptor today albeit for less than beneficial reasons. Admittedly, the main issue is the disposal of plastics rather than its utilitarian value. Unfortunately, the citizens’ failure to properly dispose of plastics has led to the demonizing of plastics. No amount of campaigns on environmental friendliness, 5Rs (refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, recycle) and the possibility of an apocalypse triggered by plastics has made a serious dent on the growing pile of plastics on land and sea, until now.
