IN his letter, Mr Prime said he was disappointed to find that the type of plastic containers which are acceptable is limited (October 26).

He asked is it not possible for industry to accept more if not all plastic for recycling?

I know of a company which has developed a process that converts any type of pre-used waste plastic into a draining product. It is used by golf courses, sports grounds and local authorities.

The founder of this innovative company said used plastics will no longer be going into the ground as waste, but as a useful product with real benefits for the environment.
