| Résumé : |
In recent years, society’s view of plastics has shifted. The actual material advantages have been overshadowed by the plastics waste debate. Uncommon times, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, remind society of the outstanding contribution of plastics materials. Polyethylene is particularly strong in medical and hygiene applications. |
| Note de contenu : |
- Packaging made from renewable resources
- Conflicting goals and preferences
- Protection for sensitive glass fibers
- Mechanical or chemical recycling ?
- Figure : PE ensures costs and weight savings in medical technology. For containers, the material also facilitates sterilization
- Fig. 1 : The importance of the shelf life of food products became more important again during the corona crisis. Plastics such as PE make an important contribution as packaging material and prevent food waste
- Fig. 2 : For hygiene products such as tampons and bandages, pleasant and at the same time inconspicuous packaging is required. Due to the increasing mobility of many people, the demand for individually packaged product is also growing
- Fig. 3 : PE is increasingly used for drinking water supply pipes. The plastic is particularly in demand in countries with a high proportion of chemicals used to kill germs in drinking water
- Fig. 4 : Due to the increasing demands on data rates and volumes, fiber optic networks are becoming more and more widespread. Microducts made of HDPE are suitable for protecting the sensitive fibers
- Fig. 5 : Depending on the original application, both mechanical and chemical recycling of PE waste is possible |
