    • Disadvantages
    • Conclusion
    PLASTIC
    • a synthetic material made from a wide range of
    organic polymers such as polyethylene, PVC,
    nylon, etc., that can be moulded into shape
    while soft, and then set into a rigid or slightly
    elastic form.
    TYPES OF PLASTICS
    • There are two main types of plastics:
    Thermoplastics and Thermosetting polymers.
    • THERMOPLASTICS can repeatedly softened melt
    if enough heat is applied & hardened on cooling
    so that they can be made into new plastics
    products. E.g.- polyethylene, polystyrene & PVC .
    • THERMOSETTING can melt & take shape only
    once. They are not suitable for repeated heat
    treatments after they have solidified, they stay
    solid. E.g.- phenol formaldehyde & urea
    formaldehyde
    WHY DESIGN WITH PLASTICS?
    • 1. Corrosion resistance.
    • 2. Low electrical and thermal conductivity.
    • 3. Easily formed into complex shapes, can be
    formed, casted and joined.
    • 4. Wide choice of appearance, colours and
    transparencies.
    ADDITIVES IN PLASTIC 
    • Additives are added to polymers in order to
    obtain or improve certain properties such as
    strength, stiffness, color, resistance to weather
    and flammability.
    1. Plasticizers
    2. Carbon black(soot)
    3. Colorants
    4. Lubricants
    5. Flame retardants
    CO-PROCESSING OF PLASTICS
    Primary collection and Segregation

    Secondary segregation of waste to separate


    recyclable part

    Treatment & material /energy recovery

    Final disposal

    Finally product is transported to different


    industries for further processing
    PLASTIC TECHNOLOGICAL
    PRODUCTS 
    • Plastic roads
    • Plastic clothes
    • Cement kiln(links)
    • Alternative fuel and raw material(AFR)
    DISADVANTAGES OF PLASTIC
    1. Low strength
    2. Less dimensional stability over period of time
    (creep effect)
    3. Aging effect, hardens and become brittle over
    time
    4. Sensitive to environment, moisture and
    chemicals
    5. Poor machinability
    CONCLUSION 
    • Though plastic is a great threat to the society yet
    it can be b beneficial if used in a wise way. i.e. by
    using proper manufacturing techniques, usage
    regulations and disposal/ recycling methods.
    • Plastics have a wide range of application. All we
    need is advancement in our techniques.
