Plastic Production, Use, and Disposal

Minimize the use of energy, especially fossil fuel-based energy, in manufacturing resins, fabrication of products, transportation, and disposal of plastics waste. 

Develop and use green alternative monomers (especially renewable materials) in place of fossil fuel-derived monomers wherever technically and economically feasible. 

Minimize the residual monomer content in virgin resin pellets reaching the processors and ending up in plastic products. 

Continually research appropriate chemistries for greener alternatives for additives identified as posing a potential health hazard. 

Ensure minimum waste of aU materials during manufacture.
