What benefits does plastic have for the environment?

 It’s lightweight – Over the lifetime of the average car, lightweight plastic parts save around 3,000 litres of fuel
 It’s durable – Plastic pipes are designed to last for more than 100 years and also reduces the overall failure rate
 It saves water – The production of a plastic bag consumes less than 4% of the water needed to make a paper bag
 Low carbon footprint – all plastic can be recycled but it is not always technically or economically possible. If plastic can not be recycled the calorific value of plastic can be recovered through energy from waste plants. Recycling one tonne of plastic bottles saves 1.5 tonnes of Carbon
 It only uses 4% of the world's oil production - the rest is used for transport, energy, heat or is burnt.
