Plastic nowadays is a quintessential part of every day life.
Over the past 30 years, the plastic industry has undergone phenomenal growth,
continuing to expand into markets historically reserved to other materials.
And, more than ever, the technology of the reclamation of plastic waste
developed by manufacturers and plastic recycling services has helped to reduce
man-made solid waste and change the popular belief that plastics are not
recyclable.
Polymer, taken from the Greek word “polumeres,” is a compound of one or more
large molecules formed from repeated units of smaller molecules.
Polymers are macromolecules consisting of thousands of repeating units called
monomers, linked in chains. The molecular structure of polymers is dependant on
the polymerization process. The main properties of the polymer depend on the
molecular structure.
