Plastic is a lightweight, hygienic and resistant
material which can be moulded in a variety of ways
and utilized in a wide range of applications.
THERMOPLASTICS
THERMOSETS
• Formed by addition polymerization
• Soften on heating because bonding forces
between chains break by heat or pressure.
• Can be reshaped or reused.
• Usually soft, weak and less brittle.
• Soluble in suitable solvents.
• Formed by condensation polymerization
• Do not soften on heating. On prolonged
heating, charring of polymer is caused.
• Can not be reshaped or reused.
• Usually hard, strong and more brittle.
• Insoluble in organic solvents.

THERMOPLASTICS
Single Use Plastics
• Single-use plastics (disposable plastics) are commonly used for
plastic packaging and include items intended to be used only
once before they are thrown away or recycled.
• These include:
Grocery bags
Food packaging
Bottles
Straws,
containers,
cups
cutlery
Grocery bags
Food
packaging
bottles
straws

Cutlery
Plastic Decoration & Thermocol

Global plastic production by industrial
sector, 2015
Plastic packaging waste generation, 2014
(million Mt)
Single-use plastic bags are used to carry
goods and usually provided to customers at
the point of sale.
The most common shopping bags are made of
a type of plastic called polyethylene – or
polythene – a tough, light, flexible, synthetic
resin obtained by polymerizing ethylene.
InSouth Africa, there are so many Plastic Bags
littering the environment that many joke that plastic
bags are “New national flower”
Environmental impacts:
• Take up to thousands of years to decompose
• Hazards to wildlife on land and in the ocean
• Plastic bags can choke waterways and
exacerbate natural disasters. (floods in
Bangladesh )
In 1988, poor drainage resulting from plastic bag
litter clogging drains contributed to devastating
floods in Bangladesh, causing several deaths as
two-thirds of the country was submerged
• Toxic chemicals such as styrene and
benzene (carcinogenic)
• By blocking sewage systems and
providing breeding grounds for
mosquitoes and other pests, plastic
bags can raise the risk of transmission
of vector-borne diseases such as
malaria.
• if ingested by fish or other marine life,
can enter our food chain.
Health and Social impacts
Health and Social impacts
• Plastics blocking the
airways and stomachs of
hundreds of species
• Plastic waste is often burned
for heat or cooking,
exposing people to toxic
emissions
The future costs of removing all single-use plastics accumulating in
the environment is estimated as higher than the costs of preventing
littering today
Economic impacts:
1. Waste Management System Improvements
1. Waste Management System Improvements
Segregation of waste at source Segregation of Plastics By Codes
2. Promotion of Eco-friendly Alternatives
3. Voluntary Reduction Strategies
4. Framing Regulatory And Economic Instruments
National-level plastic bag bans
and Styrofoam regulations

5. Social Awareness/ Public Pressure
Despite initial resistance from the
local government, the governor
eventually signed a memorandum of
understanding to phase out plastic
bags by 2018.
Two teenagers campaigned for over
four years to get plastic bags
banned from the island, starting
with a petition that collected over
100,000 signatures.
5. Social Awareness/ Public Pressure
Public action as driver of change
BEFORE AFTER2015 2017
Versova Beach, Mumbai
Plastics – Use in Construction Industry
Roads with use of plastic waste
Plastic roads vs conventional roads
• Overall reduction in bitumen consumption by 10‐15%
• Enhanced load carrying strength
• Less wear and tear, i.e. longer life
• Laying 1 Km of road requires 10 Lakh carry bags
• Prevents release of 3 tonnes of CO2 (through disposal by burning)
into the atmosphere
• Increased road strength (Marshall Stability Value)
Our Prime Minister Committed To Say
NO To Single Use Plastic
