The Oxo Debate

From Green Plastics

Jump to: navigation, search

To quote an anonymous expert in the industry:

"The stakes in this debate are VERY HIGH. People in the field are afraid to take sides. They say let the market decide. No one is going to take part in a public debate, on a web site. I know people on both sides, and, although they are cordial to each other in public, I know they hate each others' guts. Tread with care."

Unfortunately, the above makes it very difficult for people who are not experts in the field to know exactly what is going on, and to make informed decisions. Instead, everything comes across as an advertising campaign.

The purpose of this article is to provide a brief overview of each side of the debate, and links so that interested parties can learn about both sides of the issue.
