Plastics

Human can't live without plastics..
plactic bottles, plastic bags, plastic cups, plastic surgery...
Nearly 90% of plastic water bottles are not recycled, and they are taking
thousands of years to decompose.


In Singapore, 684,400 tonnes of plastic waste was generated in 2008 and
the recycling rate is 9%.

Catch of the Day
100,000 marine mammals die each year due to ingestion of
plastic waste discarded by humans.




So we know recycled plastic bottles can be the source of fiber..
Many companies are catching on to this new trend...
