Recycling Plastic? • Containers are made of polyethylene and polyethylene terephthalate, which is called PET. • PET has become one of the most well known recycling plastics throughout the world PET is well known through recycling plastics into bottles.
Plastics History? • The first human-made plastic was invented by Alexander Parkes in 1862; he called this plastic Pakesine. The development of plastics has come from the use of natural plastic materials.
What material is Plastic? • Natural rubber is an elastmorthat was originally derived from a milky colloidal suspension, or latex, found in the sap of some plants. It is useful directly in this form but, later, in 1839, Charles Goodyear invented vulcanized rubber; this a form of natural rubber heated with, mostly, sulfur forming cross-links between polymer chains , improving elasticity and durability.
What can be made from plastics? • Polypopylene(PP) • Polystyrene(PS) • High impact polystyrene (HIPS) • Acrylonitrilebutadiene styrene • Polyethylene terephthalatePET • Polyester (PES) • Fibers textiles • Polyamides • (Nylons) Fibers • Poly(vinyl chloride) • Polyurethanes • Polycarbonate(PC) • Compact discs, eyeglasses, • Polyvinylidenechloride (PVDC) • Polyethylene(PE)
