Answer to Question 1

The plastics are inert and therefore stable. They do not degrade and cannot, therefore, cause pollution of ground waters.

Answer to Question 2

The total cost of the product is really a function of the costs associated with both making and disposing of the product. These total costs should include the costs of the product on the environment, that is, the pollution potential and costs to eliminate that pollution if it were to be corrected.
