Facts about Plastics
Plastics come in all shapes and sizes and are used to make may everyday items you probably take for granted. Look here for more facts and information about plastics.
Degradable Plastics
At end-of-life, products made from degradable plastic need to degrade in the right place, at the right time and in the right end environment. It is PACIAs mission to improve the understanding and use of degradable plastics.
Plastics Recycling
Products are collected from a variety of domestic kerbside, commercial, industrial, agricultural and other markets, cleaned, granulated and the recyclate resins remanufactured into a wide range of new products.
