Commenting on the launch of the Plaqtiv+® range, Animalcare Product Manager Eleanor Workman Wright said: “Despite research showing that at least 80% of dogs and 70% of cats are likely to develop periodontal disease by the age of three², dental care is still often neglected. While tooth-brushing is cited as the Gold Standard, it has to be used daily to achieve a significant degree of efficacy. This is often just not possible in the ‘real world’ and a more flexible approach can be helpful, with products such as water additives and gum sprays offering a practical, less time consuming solution in some circumstances. Veterinary Oral Health Council. Protocols and Submissions. Available at: http://www.vohc.org/protocols_submissions.html [Accessed April 2022]. Lightweight, strong and easy to create, ithas been used in endless ways. And becauseit’s so cheap to make and buy, it has replacedother more expensive natural materials, such aswood, metals, silks and animal skin. But thereIS a downside to this super useful material… Plastic problems Animalcare aims to give veterinary teams greater confidence in recommending home dental care with the launch of its new Plaqtiv+® range. Featuring patented Xpersiv™ technology, the Plaqtiv+® range captures minerals and inhibits biofilm maturation to reduce the formation of calculus – a key contributor to periodontal disease.
Products should be grounded in science which is why we are delighted that the Plaqtiv+® Water Additive has just become the first European product of its type to earn approval from the VOHC.” Complimented by the rest of the Plaqtiv+® range the aim is to improve engagement with pet dental care by providing formats that fit well with owner lifestyles. Introducing Plaqtiv+ Oral Water Additive with Xpersiv technology, a scientifically formulated oral care solution designed to simplify your pet's dental hygiene routine. This innovative product not only freshens breath but also actively fights tartar buildup, promoting excellent oral health. Key Benefits: Examples: Plumbing pipes, credit cards, human and pet toys, rain gutters, teething rings, IV fluid bags and medical tubing and oxygen masks. 4) Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Plastic is an almost magic material whichmakes modern life possible – and better.For example, when used for houseinsulation, it keeps people´s homeswarm, while cutting the energy theyneed to heat it. Recycling of plastic is very important. If they are not recycled at the proper time, then they get mixed with other chemicals or materials and hence become more difficult to recycle and become a source of pollution.

This hard and rigid plastic is resistant to chemicals and weathering, making it desired for building and construction applications; while the fact that it doesn’t conduct electricity makes it common for high-tech applications, such as wires and cable. It’s also widely used in medical applications because it’s impermeable to germs, is easily disinfected and provides single-use applications that reduce infections in healthcare. On the flip side, we must note that PVC is the most dangerous plastic to human health, known to leach dangerous toxins throughout its entire lifecycle (eg: lead, dioxins, vinyl chloride).
Several types of goods are exempt from being returned. Perishable goods such as food, flowers, newspapers or magazines cannot be returned. We also do not accept products that are intimate or sanitary goods, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases. Many chemists continued Leo’s work,and soon other types of plastics withdifferent properties were developed, such ascellophane in 1912 and nylon in 1935. It’s everywhere! Millions of animals are killed by plastics every year, from birds to fish to other marine organisms. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by plastics. Nearly every species of seabird eats plastics.

It causes harm if it’s thrown awayand ends up in nature. We all need todo our bit to avoid throwaway plastics(such as straws or drinks bottles)and help save our planet. Crude oil is one of the main ingredientsneeded to make plastic. But it’s also afossil resource, which means there’sa limited amount of it on our planet.Happily, for one key component inplastic, called aniline, we discovereda way to create it from biomass(materials such as corn, straw andwood) instead of oil. And that reallyis amazing! Royal Veterinary College. Available at: https://www.rvc.ac.uk/review/Dentistry/Shared_Media/pdfs/perio_print.pdf [Accessed April 2022].
Ah yes, the infamous “other” option! This category is a catch-all for other types of plastic that don’t belong in any of the other six categories or are combinations of multiple types. We include it because you might occasionally come across the #7 recycling code, so it’s important to know what it means. The most important thing here is that these plastics aren’t typically recyclable. Plastic has been all over the news lately because of the ways it can damage our planet – but how much do you REALLY know about it?Tartar Control: Scientifically developed, it helps reduce tartar formation, supporting healthier teeth and gums. Plastics have been consumed by land-based animals, including elephants, hyenas, zebras, tigers, camels, cattle, and other large mammals, in some cases causing death.
Sure! I work as a scientist for a companycalled Covestro. We make plasticsfor many different uses and industries.I research alternative materials toproduce plastics with, which will bebetter for the environment. Production increased exponentially, from 2.3 million tons in 1950 to 448 million tons by 2015. Production is expected to double by 2050. It might help to think of it like baking!When you make plastics you use differentingredients in different forms. Bymixing everything together in the rightcombination and heating to the righttemperature for the correct duration,you transform the ingredients into a newmaterial. But instead of eggs and flour weuse crude oil as our main ingredient. Andwe end up with plastic instead of cake!
Ingredients:
Examples: Plastic/cling wrap, sandwich and bread bags, bubble wrap, garbage bags, grocery bags and beverage cups. 5) Polypropylene (PP) While we believe that plastic alternatives are a must, and support initiatives to develop them, the reality is that plastic is here and will be for some time. Therefore, I say let’s try to better understand it, rather than ignore it or simply bash it. In the end, not all plastic is bad. Humanity has certainly benefited from it in some ways and you can even make arguments that support that it’s also been beneficial to the environment – although in very specific examples. The changes introduced by this measure will not impact the costs previously outlined. Other impacts Examples: Eyeglasses, baby and sports bottles, electronics, CD/DVDs, lighting fixtures and clear plastic cutlery.
