Glad the pic industry is making strides towards sustainability. I think the course should still mention the danger inherent in the pvc products that don't get recycled and end up in landfills or burned in landfills and the toxins released with this end of life. Also, it is still using a proportion of non renewable fossil fuels which is not sustainable - hard to get around.
