Since the founding of Plasticon International, Mr. Turek has been a passionate advocate for the use of recycled plastic products in the construction and transportation industries by demonstrating the advantages his company's patented line of plastic rebar supports and transportation signage have over metal products, citing strength, versatility and durability as three of the main factors. "I understand that people are skeptical," Mr. Turek said. "Some people can't wrap their mind around the concept that recycled plastic can be stronger than steel. But we have demonstrated time and time again, from the laboratory to the actual job site, that our recycled plastic products are stronger and more versatile and more durable than comparable steel products. I always say to people that if I were a superhero, I'd rather be the Man of Recycled Plastic than the Man of Steel because recycled plastic is stronger."
Today, Plasticon has an exclusive agreement with the largest distributor of building materials in the country, which distribute Plasticon International's products throughout the United States.
The Company will be featured on the Investor's Business Daily web site for the thirty days and can be found at: http://www.investors.com/corporatenews/nw111.asp.
