Super-fantastic-elastic-plastic...guaranteed to stretch your mind....................

[HYPOCRACY]

Only 10 years away! (While supplies last).

[marktwain]

The big question is: will it be cheaper to recycle the material, or to make fresh material?

[Red Badger]

Good question.................

Wonder why they banned Scotch guard.

[Red Badger]

It was hurting sales of Tide..............

[Qwapisking]

“super-fantastic-elastic-plastic” already exists. it’s called Politicians!

[Red Badger]

That’s Cher’s plastic surgeon’s material..................

[rktman]

Hmmmmmm! Where do the “ingredients” come from? How are they processed? We know the drill.......

But, I did notice the word ‘cleavage’ used.......

[butlerweave]

How do you keep this trash separate from other trash so it can be recycled ?

[Red Badger]

We have two garbage cans provided by the county. One with a green lid is for regular garbage and the other has a yellow lid is for recyclables: metal, plastic, glass etc.

Pick-up is on different days for both...........

[Vaduz]

It can’t be destroyed if it gets in the lungs they don’t know what it will do it lasts forever no matter where it’s used.

Regulations can always fix bad economics.

“””””maintain high performance under stress but can be precisely broken down and reused with no loss in quality.”””””

Ahhh... romance in your early 20s.

"They" didn't ban Scotchguard.

When 3M discovered that the active ingredient didn't break down in the environment, out of an abundance of caution, 3M took it upon themselves to pull it from the market.

Although the chemical had no known environmental risk, the concern was that should one surface, there would be no way to remove it from the environment.

This is what corporate responsibility and good citizenship looks like, folks!
