​I think there’s a small void in the western market someone could potentially plug and capitalise on.

I just spent £83.99 on a 1 kilogram bag… of plastic granules from China and I’m sorry but that’s just out of order honestly.

Specifically PE-g-MAH aka Maleic Anhydride grafted Polyethylene. Can you get it on Ebay, Amazon, Aliexpress? No, No and No again.

The only companies in the western world that sell that material are those who like to hide behind opaque business pricing models. Personally, I cannot abide by it, I want what I want and I want a price on a website followed by a Buy button – end of story.

So why would anybody want PE-g-MAH?
Well it’s simple, if you want to turn waste plastic like HDPE into something useful so that it doesn’t end up decorating a sea turtle then you need to have the flexibility to add things into the HDPE, make it do things it can’t normally do. PE-g-MAH allows carbon additives among other things to be blended into the waste plastic potentially opening up new possibilities and applications.

Will it solve the worlds pollution problems? No but it does challenge the perception of what waste plastic is capable off and may in turn save a few turtles.

So please

Put some PE-g-MAH on ebay, or aliexpress or amazon at a fair price. £83.99 is not a fair price, £30 a kilo? That’s at least fair, not remarkably fair but fair enough.
