Posted on March 3, 2014 by DrRossH in Plastic Limiting RegulationsN.E.W. agrees to change marketing claims for plastic lumber – News – Plastics News.
According to the FTC complaint, N.E.W. Plastics Corp., which also does business as Renew Plastics, has been making false and misleading statements about the Evolve and Trimax brands of plastic lumber. FTC alleges that between September 2012 and March 2013, the company claimed that its Evolve products were made from 90 percent or more recycled high density polyethylene, that its Trimax products were made from primarily post-consumer content like milk jugs and detergent bottles, and that both Evolve and Trimax are completely recyclable.
FTC says that during that time period, “Evolve contained, at most, 58 percent recycled plastic,” and the post-consumer content of Trimax products was less than 12 percent on average.
