Plastic is a name given to material obtained converting Monomer molecule groups to polymer named long chain structure by breaking bonds between Carbon (C) and Hydrogen (H) Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N) and other organic and inorganic elements. As it can be understood from simple definition, plastics may not be available natural environment anda re obtained by human intervention to natural substances. It is ontained by reaction between monomers using catalysts under certain temperature and pressure. First stage of plastic production, is is obtained as powder, resin or granule state. Generally, plastics are produced using remaining material after processing of crude oil in petroleum refineries. According to researches made, 4% of petroleum is used in plastic production all over the world. Plastic decomposes in 1000 years approximately.

• When it is recycled, waste collection area’s life extends. Nonrenewable raw material sources are preserved and nature is protected.
• A plastic bottle may not decompose in the environment for a period of 3 thousand years.
• When 1 ton of plastic is recycled, 14 thousand kW/h energy is saved.

Conventional Plastic Types

• Polietilen (PE): It has a wide area of use, and is very cheap.
• Polipropilen (PP): It is one of the conventional plastics. It is used in automotive supply industry, garden furnitures etc.
• Polistiren (PS): It has area of use in packaging, plastic parts of electronic and white goods.
• Polietilen tereftalat (PETE): This material denominated PET Bottle.
• Polyamid (PA): It is used in fiber, toothbrush, nylon thread etc.,
• Polyester: It has an area of use in textile industry.
• Polivinil klorid (PVC): It is used in pipe, profile etc., production.
• Polikarbonat (PC): It is used in CD, glasses etc., production.
• Akrilonitril bütadien stiren (ABS): It is used widely in plastic parts of electronic devices.
• Poliviniliden klorid (PVDC): It is used in food packaging.
