Disadvantages of Plastics Disadvantages of Plastics are 1. FLAMMABLE – This is definitely an advantage in that they can be melted down‚ however soldering plastics can release toxic fumes into the environment. 2. COST OF RECYCLING – While recycling is a plus‚ recycling is a very costly endeavour. 3. VOLUME – In the United States 20% of our landfill is made up of plastics. As more products are being made of plastics‚ where will this lead us in the future? 4. DURABILITY – This is an advantage

stated that plastics are polymers and are chemically unreactive because they are held together by stable single bonds‚ which also results in their chemical stability. The stability of plastics makes them resilient to breakage making them good replacements for fragile items such as glass. Some plastics are weakened and dissolved by organic non-solvents so not all plastics can be used for the same purposes. Plastics are moulded to different shapes with some being flexible like plastic bags and others

They are used for shellac‚ cellulose‚ rubber‚ and asphalt. We also synthetically manufacture items such as clothing‚ packaging‚ automobiles‚ electronics‚ aircrafts‚ medical

Each resin has unique properties and is used (often mixed with additional chemicals and materials) in the manufacture of a variety of plastic products. Sometimes there are letters beneath the resin codes. These are abbreviations for the name of the plastic resin that the code represents. These abbreviations are not always included‚ though the number always represents the

Plastic can be defined as: any group of synthetic or natural organic materials that may be shaped when soft‚ which will later harden. Plastic has been around for more than 150 years. In 1839 Charles Goodyear accidently discovered the process of vulcanization‚ the process of making rubber more durable‚ which evolved into the creation of plastics later on. In 1846‚ Swiss chemist Charles Schonbein discovered how to produce the plastic polymer known as celluloid. In 1909‚ chemist Leo Baekeland created
