My comment is that there is some validity to Mr. Moore's points. Plasticizers and elastomers are the agents that really make PVC based products dangerous to human health. However, I'm not qualified at this point to consider end-of-life cycle best practices for PVC products and packaging. All I'd like to see is less packaging waste on retail shelves, in landfills, and in the ocean.

Phased plans work better than outright bans, and are much fairer to all parties to transition.

Writing from Italy, where eco conscience is very low, it is amazing to see a politician to take care of this issue. I hope there is hidden propaganda behind this action.
