Last week, while on the topic of recycling plastic, we closed with an item from the New York Times. They reported a French firm is making a watch from recycled plastic materials of fishing nets and the waste plastic found floating in oceans. I commented that I couldn’t help but wonder if it smells fishy — I haven’t bought one yet so don’t know the answer to my curiosity.
Since using similar plastic waste, which could end up in the ocean or other bodies of water, was the topic of an item in a recent Resource Recycling newsletter, I will continue with that idea today.
The article started with a report that UL, a global certification company headquartered in Illinois, certified that resins used by the technology company HP include scrap plastic which otherwise might have gone into the Caribbean Sea.
