The Invention of Plastics Recycling Industrial Plastics Processing Brought Technology Developers to the Scene Early on

摘要

Plastics have been a whipping boy ever since"marine litter"was discovered.The general media report almost daily about the material that lasts nearly forever,thus branding it as one of the worst environmental polluters. Environmental associations demand drastic measures to reduce the consumption of plastics. Bans are at the top of the list. The debate is very emotional,leaving little room for rational explanations and facts from an overall ecological view in which polymer materials look mainly positive when compared with other materials.
