PLASTICS

What is
plastic ?

A PLASTIC MATERIAL IS
USUALLY A SEMI-
SYNTHETIC SOLID.
MONOMERS OF
PLASTICS ARE EITHER
NATURAL OR SYNTHETIC
ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
In Plastics, the arrangement of the
individual
units may be linear or cross linked
Linear or lightly cross-linked
polymers form a class of plastics
called thermoplastics
Heavy cross-linking plastics are
called thermosetting plastics
Thermoplastic

THERMOPLASTIC IS A POLYMER
THAT TURNS INTO A LIQUID
WHEN HEATED AND FREEZES
INTO A VERY GLASSY STATE
WHEN COOLED SUFFICIENTLY.
Thermo-setting plastics

THERMO SET MATERIALS

ARE
USUALLY LIQUID OR
MALLEABLE
PRIOR TO CURING AND
DESIGNED TO BE MOLDED
IN THEIR FINAL FORM
PLASTICS ARE POOR CONDUCTORS OF
HEAT AND
ELECTRICITY , ARE INSOLUBLE IN WATER,
INFLAMMABLE AND DO NOT CORRODE AND
RUST

PLASTICS CAN BE HEATED OR MOLDED

INTO ANY SHAPE AND SIZE TO MAKE A
VARIETY OF THINGS

Facts about
Advantages Of Plastic

PLASTICS ARE LIGHT WEIGH

CHEMICALLY RESISTANT, CA
EASILY BE SHAPED, DURABL
EASY TO COLOUR, THERMAL
INSULATING, ACOUSTICALLY
INSULATING, ELECTRICALLY
INSULATING, ENERGY SAVIN
THE FACT THAT PLASTIC WAS
ABLE TO WITHSTAND HEAT ALSO
LEAD TO ITS BEING RECOGNIZED
AS AN IMPORTANT MATERIAL IN
AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY.
TODAY, PLASTICS ARE USED IN
THE SOLID FUEL BOOSTERS
FORM ROCKETS AND IN THE
ABLATIVE SHIELDS FOR REENTRY
OF SPACE SHUTTLES.
Disadvantages Of Plastic

IT IS AN INDESTRUCTIBLE COMPOUND
EVEN WHEN IT IS MELTED THE
COMPOUND GAS THAT IS GIVES OFF I
VERY HARMFUL TO OUR HEATH AND
ENVIRONMENT AND WEAKENS THE
OZONE LAYER. MOST PLASTIC IS
MADE FROM OIL WHEN THE WORLD IS
GRADUALLY RUNNING OUT OF OIL.
EVERY YEAR, AMERICANS THROW
AWAY ABOUT 100 BILLION PLASTIC
BAGS ITS EQUIVALENT TO
DUMPING NEARLY 12 MILLION
BARRELS OF OIL.
Pacific Ocean a.k.a Plastic
ocean

ALL THE PLASTIC WASTE

PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN
ACCUMULATED IN THE
PACIFIC OCEAN CAUSING
LOTS OF DANGER TO THE
MARINE LIFE
The solution ?

WITH MORE THAN 50 BILLION

TONS OF WASTE PLASTIC WHICH
WONT GO FOR A THOUSAND
YEARS AND RECYCLING PROVING
TO BE AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE
AND DIFFICULT PROCEDURE, IS
THERE A SOLUTION ?
A MORE LIKELY SOLUTION, PERHAPS, IS GOOD
OLD-FASHIONED INNOVATION.
ENTREPRENEURS AND BUSINESSES AROUND
THE WORLD ARE TAKING APPROACHES TO HELP
OUR COMMUNITIES BECOME MORE
ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE.
FOR CHANGE TO TAKE PLACE AT SCALE, EACH
ONE OF US NEEDS TO LESSEN OUR PERSONAL
CONSUMPTION AND WASTE HABITS. ALL OF US
CAN HELP TO REDUCE THE SUPPLY OF PLASTIC
POLLUTION TO OUR AQUATIC HABITATS.
