It is interesting to note that during this period L. P. Merriam and Spill collaborated in their work and this led to the formation in 1877 of the British Xylonite Company. Although absorbed by the Distillers organisation in 1961, and subsequently subjected to further industrial take-overs, this company remains an important force in the British plastics industry.

This provides brief information from a new report, produced on behalf of the British Plastics Federation, by the Centre for Economics Business Research, which says that over half of the UK s EPS packaging will be reclaimed by the year 2010, using recycling or waste-to-energy schemes.
