... that a British company developing biodegradable plastics has been criticised by Tesco, Aldi and the WWF?Sources: [1] [2]

- 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)
