About The Plastics Blog
As editor of Plastics News, I scan scores of Web sites, emails and news releases daily, and stay in constant touch with our network of global staff reporters and correspondents -- the largest reporting team in the plastics industry. I distill the more interesting items into commentary for this blog. Plastics News, part of Crain Communications Inc., began publishing weekly news in 1989, and launched a bilingual China site in mid-2005. In 2007, Crain acquired the two leading English-language plastics publications in Europe - Plastics & Rubber Weekly and the monthly European Plastics News.

Bribing race fans to recycle

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Anheuser-Busch Cos. and the Daytona International Speedway have come up with a plan to encourage fans at the Daytona 500 to recycle plastic and aluminum containers.

Basically, campers who enter the infield and a campground at the Speedway will get plastic recycling bags. When the bags are full, campers can turn them in for Dale Earnhardt Jr. posters and other race merchandise.

Even if adults won't bother, I bet kids at the race will recycle containers to exchange for some free race stuff. This looks like an idea worth emulating at other special events.
