Manufacturers, particularly of plastic bags must become legally bound to become actively involved in the re-cycling education of the communities that use these bags.

Cradle to grave laws now govern the producers of such products must firstly recover used packaging and re-cycle the same which in fact is a commercially viable practice.

Once end users know where they can deposit their plastic waste and receive a refund while doing so, the pollution of our oceans and waterways will improve.

All these new chemical additives being developed at present such as bio-degradable and U.V accelerators to break down the physical state of the packaging is a waste of time and money.
