	Plastic Foodservice Facts—A rich source for all sorts of info on the plastic foodservice packaging that we use every day.

From the manufacturer to the grocer and to our dinner tables, airtight plastic packaging helps keep foods fresh and free from contamination.  In the refrigerator, plastics help to make bottles lighter and shatter-resistant, so it’s safer and easier to lift and serve our favorite beverages.  In the medicine cabinet, plastics make possible child-resistant closures for pharmaceuticals.  And, when it comes to big-ticket purchases, plastic packaging helps to protect items like appliances and electronics, until they arrive safely in our homes.
 
This YouTube video from the French Plastic and Flexible Packaging Association is a humorous but useful reminder of what life would be like without packaging.
