KEY CONCEPTS OF PLASTICS AND TEXTILES

- Plastics consist of long chains of atoms which are mostly composed of carbon.










- Plastics be classified into natural and synthetic plastics.

- The process of manufacturing plastic is called polymerisation.

- Plastic materials are resistant, insulating (against electricity, heat and sound), ductile, malleable, impermeable and light.

- There are three types of plastic recycling processes: chemical and mechanical recycling and energy recovery.
