In 1846, renowned German chemist Christian Schonbein made the discovery of plastic. Actually, plastics were stumbled upon. The Greek word “Plastikos,” which means “to mould,” is the source of the English term “plastic.”
An organic compound with a high molecular weight is a key component of plastic, according to definition. Long carbon chain polymers are another definition for it.
Plastic recycling is highly significant. They become mixed with other chemicals or materials and become more challenging to recycle, as well as a cause of pollution, if they are not recycled at the appropriate time. Since they cannot be degraded by microbial action, they cannot be biodegraded. Utilizing biopolymers or biodegradable polymers can help prevent this.
Any synthetic or semi-synthetic organic polymer is considered plastic. In other words, while additional elements may be present, carbon and hydrogen are always present in plastics. While almost any organic polymer can be used to make plastic, petrochemicals are the primary source of industrial plastic.
The word “plastic” describes the capacity of a substance to deform without breaking due to its plasticity.
Almost always, colorants, plasticizers, stabilizers, fillers, and reinforcements are included with the polymer used to create plastic.
The Algeria Plastics Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Following the National Agency of Waste’s (AND) two-year-old beach environmental awareness initiatives, plastic now accounts for 87% of marine waste.
Project for recycling polypropylene (PP) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastics from Oggaz. There will be an operable plant in the Algerian commune in the wilaya of Mascara. By recycling 40 tons of discarded plastics into granules in Oggaz, the recycling facility will also hasten the growth of the circular economy.
