Overall: Summary: Sourcing problems and typo in ALT0. ALT1 is preferred (with modification). The page could use some work on its prose, including fixing the cite note spacing and cleaning up comma problems.
Analysis: Claim of creation on July 18th, nominated July 18th. Article was created on the 18th, which is within 7 days of the nomination. Length >1500 bytes, start class. Not previously nominated for DYK. "Examples" table is unsourced. Wikipedia is not a WP:RS. Neutral tone. Per Earwig's Copyvio Detector, 6.5% for source with some direct quotes of listed material, cited as paraphrasing within the article. Because it's a list, I'd say it's okay. ALT0 found in slide 2 of cited source, ALT1 uncited. The cited source is a slideshow purportedly from Royce Plastic International, posted by an account name of "Royceintly" on Slideshare.net. While I'm inclined to believe that this account has some connection to the company, I'm hesitant to call a random slide presentation a WP:RS. Another source for ALT0 would be preferred. "Dyes" is misspelled in ALT0. ALT0 isn't particularly interesting; the definition of "colorants" includes "dyes" and "pigments." ALT1 is worded a little weirdly. I suggest rewording ALT1, as shown above. ALT1 is preferred. Please include a source for ALT1's material. No pictures. No DYK credits, so QPQ unnecessary. ―Biochemistry🙴❤ 23:27, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
Both proposed hooks require editing for grammatical issues. Suggest the following: "... that plastic colorants can come in the forms of dyes or pigments?" and "... that the type of plastic colorant used depends on the type of plastic being colored?" Neither is particularly interesting, though. --Khajidha (talk) 14:36, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
