Plastic: The Most Moldable And Used Material In Todays Life

How many times a day do you use something made from plastic

? I can guarantee that it's more than you think. Plastic has been a part of our lives for over 100 years, and its use continues to grow. The use of plastic made material is increasing at a high rate in todays world. May it b a plastic polythene bags, plastic lunch boxes, plastic bottles, plastic covers etc. Although plastic bags are the most reasonably priced and widely used all over the world, in the past few decades, the use of plastic has been condemned by many organizations due to certain environmental reasons. It has been found that plastic is extremely hazardous and causes severe damage to the earth and subsequently, to the creatures inhabiting it. Plastic is not a biodegradable substance and thus it is toxic to health if thrown in the environment.

Now a days recycling plastic bags are also available which can be distinguished easily from the normal plastic bags as they have the symbol of recycling above them. Plastic containers for various uses are available in market. To make cakes, muffins, cookies etc. When it comes to takeout, there is nothing like the mold ability of plastic to come up with just the right shapes, or the clear tops that allow the customer to view your masterpiece. Plastic containers, whether they are bowls, dishes or hinge locking, are super efficient. Plastic melts when heated to high temperature, but now such plastic containers are available which when even heated to high temperature dont melt. They are lightweight and easy to store - even on a high shelf. The process of making plastic is a complicated one. It begins with carbon from petroleum, natural gas, coal, or biological sources. The elements can be combined in various combinations in order to achieve a desired property and characteristic. The final product can be hard like the siding on your house or soft and flexible like shrink wrap.

Have you ever noticed the number with the arrows surrounding it on your plastic bottles? Many people use these numbers to determine how the product is to be recycled. These numbers are called the plastic packaging resin identification codes. They indicate the type of plastic that the item was made from and are used to help consumers know whether and how the item is to be recycled. Some of the packaging has been redesigned and replaced with cardboard alternatives, even if such changes take time to filter for the consumer market.
