With this move to ramp-up plastic bag recycling some 463 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions and 300 million pounds of waste will be cut annually says Cal Dooley CE of the American Chemistry Council the trade group for the major plastic bag makers. “This is unprecedented. “This is a significant commitment by the plastic bag industry to reduce waste” says Matthew McKenna president of the non-profit group Keep America Beautiful which will receive an undisclosed donation from the American Chemistry Council. But not everyone is applauding the move. That includes Earth Day Network the organizing body of Earth Day worldwide.
