Although plastics have been around for about 100 years they are
considered to be modern when compared to traditional materials like
wood, stone, metal, glass and paper. In recent decades plastics have
enabled numerous technological advancements, new design solutions,
eco-performance enhancements and further cost-savings.
Nowadays, thanks to plastics, the only limitation for
designers is their imagination. Diminishing natural
and non-renewable resources, climate change and
an ageing and growing population are some of the main
challenges for society to rise up to. If plastics did not exist, we
would probably need to invent to tackle thse issues.
