P&G EXPANDS USE OF RECYCLED PLASTIC

Procter & Gamble said Wednesday that it will expand the use of recycled plastic in containers for Tide, Cheer and other products to create a new demand for the material. The company estimates the program will keep 80 million milk, water and soft-drink plastic bottles out of U.S. landfills in its first year.

The bottles will be specially marked and will start to appear on supermarket shelves this fall, the company said. - Associated Press
