Why Plastics are More Popular than Ever Before
Plastics have always been widely used because of their convenient properties and the wide range of products they can produce, but why have they recently become so popular?
Benefits of Using Plastic
There’s an endless list of great properties that make plastics so appropriate for production. These are as follows:
- Low-production cost
- High strength
- Flexibility
- Lightweight
- Sanitary
- Versatility
Recent Popularity
Over recent months, there’s been a high demand for products across the globe that have needed to be produced extremely quickly. This includes product packaging for businesses that have moved to delivery only.
Many companies have resorted to plastics to make these products, as it’s quick and convenient to do the job required, and importantly at the current time, it’s sanitary.
PPE and medical equipment demand have skyrocketed recently, which means the demand for plastic has also increased. Hospital equipment must be as clean and as durable as possible, and plastic offers these qualities and more.
The evolution of bioplastics is another contributing factor to the materials popularity. These materials offer the same durability as the standard plastics but produce a lower carbon footprint and costs even less to manufacture.
