Hello Friends,
Plastic has benefited our society in a number of ways. In fact, plastic has helped aeronautics technology take giant steps forward over the past 50 years, including advancements in satellites, shuttles, aircraft, and missiles. As a result, civilian air travel has improved, as well as military air power and space exploration. In addition, the building and construction, electronics, packaging, and transportation industries have all benefited greatly from plastic.
Plastic products play a major role in saving and conserving energy and power safety.
1.22% of an Airbus A380 double-Decker aircraft is built with lightweight carbon fiber reinforced plastics, saving fuel and lowering operating costs by 15%.
2.105kg of plastics, rather than traditional materials in a car weighing 1,000kg, makes possible a fuel saving of 750 liters over a lifespan of 90,000 miles. This reduces oil consumption by 12 million tonnes and consequently CO2 emissions by 30 million tonnes in the European Union.
3.BMW in its 6 series Coupe uses a rear boot lid made of composites and thermoplastic front wings. This has saved 100 kilos in weight.
4.Without plastics, packaging weight could increase by as much as 400%, production and energy costs could double and material wastage increase by 150%
5.Renewable energies rely on plastics (pipes, solar panels, wind turbines, rotors)
6.PVC-U double glazed windows and doors are essential for an energy efficient home. They have a minimum 35 years life and are easily maintained. The BRE’s Green Guide has given PVC-U windows an A rating.
Thanks.
