![“Plastic should be a high value material... [It] should be in products that last a long time, and at the end of the life, you recycle it. To take oil or natural gas that took millions of years to produce and then to make a disposable product that last minutes or seconds, and then to just discard…” quote by Susan Freinkel](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/900/susan-freinkel-56102_life_plastic-should-be-a-high-value-material_883733.jpg)
