• ... that a British company developing biodegradable plastics has been criticised by Tesco, Aldi and the WWF? Sources: [1] [2]
  • ALT1:... that in 2020, a former Tesla executive joined a company aiming to become the "Tesla of plastics"? Sources: [3] [4]
  • ALT2:... that a British company is developing plastics that are vulnerable to sunlight, air and water? Source: [5]

• Comment: This is an article about a company, and therefore a bit tricky! I didn't find any policy that explicitly forbids putting one in DYK, but I'd fully understand if there is one and this is ineligible. In any case, I would not put the company name outright on the front page, which is why I have used "a company" in the hooks. And just in case this gets suspected: I have no CoI, I have just created the article and am trying to get each one I create on DYK. I actually find ALT1 to be more "hooky", but the original hook sounds less promotional imo. ALT2 is also fun, if you agree that it is not misleading.

• This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts for ALT1 and ALT2 are cited inline, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. I'm not approving ALT0 because the organisations seem to have been criticising the BSI standard and not the plastic product itself. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:58, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

• Oh, nice. That went easier than expected, thanks Cwmhiraeth. You are right about the original hook, I somehow mixed that up a bit. (I have struck ALT0.) --LordPeterII (talk) 16:16, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
