2. DISADVANTAG
E OF PLASTIC
Today, you can hardly look
around you and not spot
some item that is made
entirely from plastic or has
some plastic ingredient.
This only proves that from
its inception up to now
plastic has managed to
become popular building
material of millions of useful
items, but it is not perfect.

4. ADVANTAGE OF PLASTIC
• Probably one of the biggest benefits of plastic is how lightweight it is,
while still being able to carry (no pun intended) so many other benefits.
Sure, there are other materials that are just as good, just as
strong, and just as versatile as plastic. But they all cost a fortune
to produce. Plastic is so cheap to make that many people even
think we have too much of it.
It can also be recycled and reshaped into new products.
Even more amazingly, it can be melted down into oil or
fuel and scientists are working to make this process more
and more efficient by the day

6. WHAT IS THE USE OF PLASTIC
• Versatile plastics inspire innovations that help make life better, healthier
and safer every day. Plastics are used to make bicycle helmets, child
safety seats and airbags in automobiles. They’re in the cell phones,
televisions, computers and other electronic equipment that makes
modern life possible. They’re in the roofs, walls, flooring and insulation
that make homes and buildings energy efficient. And plastics in
packaging help keep foods safe and fresh.
