PLASTICS: INNOVATION DRIVEN MATERIALS
Plastics are an immense family of unique and versatile materials. Science and innovation are in the DNA of these materials who were designed to offer alternative and sustainable solutions to society’s needs and challenges.
The very first plastic material was invented in the middle of the 19th century and since then, based on their illimited innovative potential, plastics have shaped the world and continue to offer sustainable solutions to our fast-changing needs. Today, the plastics family is composed by a myriad of fit for purpose and resource efficient materials that allow society to have access to clean water and effectivesewage systems, safe food, energy efficient homes, green transport, global connectivity, renewable energies or affordable and hygienic healthcare, just to mention a few.
How Are Plastics Made?
Plastics are made from raw materials like natural gas, oil or plants, which are refined into ethane and propane.
Ethylene and propylene
Ethane and propane are then treated with heat in a process called “cracking” which turns them into ethylene and propylene.
Different polymers
The monomers ethylene and propylene are combined with a catalyst to create a polymer “fluff,” which looks like powdered laundry detergent.
The polymer is fed into an extruder
The polymer is fed into an extruder, where it is melted and fed into a pipe. The plastic forms a long tube as it cools.
