Reasons Why We Love Plastic So Much
1. Plastic is inexpensive
All plastics are polymers, which means that they’re long chains of molecules. These synthetic, i.e. man-made, elements are relatively cheap to produce - much cheaper than the alternative.
For example, if you’re making a desk from wood and metal, the metal has to be forged and shaped. The wood needs to be harvested from a tree and formed into a desktop.
Both materials are natural materials that need to be acquired before they’re made into a desk. A plastic desk simply needs to be poured into a mold and then shaped. The elements that make up plastic don’t need to be harvested; they are made and the production process can be automated. A person can make fifty plastic desks in the time it takes to make one metal and wood one.
2. Plastic is lightweight, flexible and malleable
