Posted on Apr 28, 2012 Why are all plastic containers, which are produced at the petrochemical plant, researched exclusively at the beverage R&D facility? Plastic jars, for example, aren't even used for beverages at all. Shouldn't plastics be researched at the industrial R&D instead?I have a similar opinion on glass bottles, but at least they see heavy use in beverage bottling, so cross-listing the research might make more sense there. |

Posted on Apr 28, 2012 R&D is assigned by category, and whichever facility you assign containers to, there's going to be at least one odd man out. Container production is spread over four factories - beverage (cans), smelter (glass bottles), petrochemical (plastic bottles/jugs/jars) and paper (cartons). The only thing linking most of them, jars excepted, is their use in beverages, which is what I presume informed Scott's decision.Edit: Quite a few food ingredients and condiments require containers as well - canned fruits, malt vinegar, and peanut butter to name just a few. It wouldn't suck if they could also be researched in the food R&D. |

Posted on Apr 28, 2012 making them researchable in 2 R&D's would be the best solution
