A new plastic resource site has just been launched. The site covers news, articles and other items of interest on plastics and its various uses in our everyday lives. You can find stuff on plastic bags, plastic sheets and more on this site. As you probably know, plastic bags are very handy when travelling. They're water-proof and are useful to keep your clean stuff clean :-).
I've just added this blog to PopDex so more people will be able to find it.
