The Plastics Historical Society

Plastics are a recently developed material that has infiltrated everyday modern life, from the clear plastic containers our food and drink come in to the toys our children play with. However, just because the history of plastics only covers about 150 years doesn’t mean that there aren’t people who feel that it should be both studied and celebrated.

Founded in 1986, the goal of the Plastics Historical Society is to celebrate the heritage of plastic. Although it operates out of London, the PHS has an international membership from all walks of life, including educators and professionals from the plastics industry. The only requirement is an interest in polymers.

The PHS even operates a museum, although the Society’s website says that it is currently being redesigned. While we don’t know if they use plastic die cast display cases to show off their collections of vintage pieces, it would certainly be appropriate.

Call Answering Services for Cable Companies

A common complaint among cable customers is that they can never reach a live person on the phone. From dealing with long hold times to dropped calls, many customers get frustrated and give up because it seems impossible to reach a live person on the other end of the line. To solve this problem, many cable companies employ call answering service agencies to handle overflow calls, providing customers with a professional 24 hour a day point of contact.

A professional call answering agency can offer cable companies a variety of services to ensure each customer receives the right response at the right time. Such companies offer courteous and knowledgeable representatives who can provide customized call routing and scripting based on specific business requirements. Customer support services provided by these companies include providing subscribers with the estimated time of service restoration, documenting problems and dispatching important messages to proper management.
