Plants for Products is a new online educational resource from the Chemical Industry Education Centre that illustrates the ways that plants can be used to replace ingredients (raw materials) that come from non renewable resources either as ingredients or in some cases as fuel to make new products.

The website includes activities to help children to understand how these issues impact upon their own lives. It provides information to help teachers to understand more about renewable resources and how to introduce these new ideas to their class and get children talking about the reasons for understanding why these issues are important.

The Plants for Products website can be accessed at http://www.plants4products.org.uk/
