Plastic Sustainability

As the world’s resources become threatened, sustainability has grown in importance. Plastics is one of the materials that is sustainable when it is produced in a certain way, this allows the plastic to be recycled so that there is little waste. In addition to plastic’s recyclable properties, interestingly plastic is also thought to be environmentally friendly as it can save energy and helps sustain other goods. Here are three example of plastic sustainability: Food Packaging The plastic extrusion process allows packaging to be produced. This plastic packaging is very popular in food production. The plastic packaging that surrounds the food produce often extends the foods shelf life reducing food wastage. This plastic packaging is then recycled. Construction As mentioned in previous blog entries. Plastics are commonly used for guttering around domestic and commercial buildings. Transport There are certain aircrafts that have been built from reinforced plastic. This plastic is light meaning that fuel consumption and overall sustainability of the aircraft is improved.
