• This document is necessary for any individual or business for manufacture and sells plastic bottles in Fiji.
• Life is so much easier with plastic bottles. They're light and easy to hold, but they're also strong and difficult to break. Plastic bottles are the best way to store and transport a wide range of liquids, from water and soft drinks to oil, household cleaners, and baby formula.

• Natural, organic resources such as cellulose, coal, natural gas, salt, and, of course, crude oil is used to make plastics. Crude oil is a complicated combination of hundreds of components that must be refined before usage. Plastic manufacture begins with the distillation of crude oil in an oil refinery.

Please explain what are other uses of obtaining this document/certificate.
