Plastic is everywhere, even in your home. You may not see it, but it’s there, underneath everything you use. Plastics allow your home to be a safe and healthy environment for your family and save you money on your monthly bills.
More importantly, plastics allow you to use all the conveniences of the modern world – air conditioners, televisions, computers, washing machines, etc. – without ruining them.
