Dear Cindy,
Peter Anderson suggested I contact you.
I am looking for some "factoids" about the benefits of using postconsumer recycled plastics vs. virgin plastics. especially as it relates to HDPE.
Something like, "If every household in the USA used shampoo that packaged in X% postconsumer plastic, we could save XX gallons of oil, reduce air pollution by xx tons, conserve xx gallons of process water, etc."
Do you have this kind of information or know where I might find it? I've looked in a lot of places, but have been unsuccessful.
Many thanks, Mary Tkach
