ABSTRACT
Plastics have undoubtedly been the wonder materials of the last century. They have fundamentally revolutionized the manner in which we conceptualize and implement new products. They are ubiquitous in today’s environment, appearing in ways that range from mundane to high-tech, from indispensable to completely wasteful. The manner in which these materials have been used has shaped our impressions of plastics as necessary evils as well as miracle materials.
