Driving is getting safer and safer. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that using seat belts made of industrial-strength plastics, has the potential to reduce fatalities by as much as 45%, and serious injury by 50%, compared with not being buckled in. It's an important statistic.

If plastics didn't exist we would have more fatalities. Moreover plastic materials reduce the weight of automobiles, contributing to an improvement in fuel efficiency.

When we speak about plastics, we have to tell the truth.
