Plastics Products Manufacturing Inc., a Yorba Linda, Calif.-based acrylic display maker, has added a blog to its Web site. The company hopes the blog will "better answer customer and plastic enthusiasts' questions about their products. Additionally, the blog will act as an educational tool in order to inform the public about the various properties and benefits of plastic and plastic products."

Right now the blog features plenty of topics that are of general interest to the plastics industry -- topics like the history of plastics, an explanation of screen printing, and a primer on injection molding.

Meanwhile, on the lighter side, I discovered Ecorazzi, a blog that "exists as a conduit to report on the latest celebrity gossip as it pertains to activism and inspiring change. The word eco is in our name, but more than the environment is supported by those in the spotlight. We also highlight humanitarian efforts, beneficial campaigns, fundraisers and acts of good. In the spirit of fair play, we’re quick to point how who’s slacking and who’s deserving of recognition."

There are some plastics-related posts there (are you interested in how much bottled water Madonna buys?), but this doesn't appear to be a definitive source for information about the plastics industry. It's more for fun.
