Plastic
materials
began
to
revolutionize the health, technology,
automotive, and fashion industries
in the 1950’s. Microchips fueled
devices like cell phones, laptops and
flat screen TVs, medical provisions
including disposable syringes, solar
panels, and lightweight vehicles
with reduced CO2 emissions.
Trucost conducted a study for the
American Chemistry Council and
found that technopolymers help to
reduce environmental cost by four
times of those incurred by other
materials. Environmental cost is
calculated by comparing economic
statistics and the sum of elements
leading to climactic change, damage
to seas and oceans, and damage to
human beings.
