plastic manufacturing

Plastic manufacturing involves transforming raw materials, primarily petrochemicals, into plastic products. The process starts with creating polymers—long chains of molecules—through chemical reactions. These polymers are melted and shaped using techniques like extrusion, injection molding, or blow molding to produce various items like bottles, containers, or packaging. After shaping, the plastics are cooled, trimmed, and finished for use. This process allows for versatile, durable, and lightweight products that are essential in everyday life across industries such as packaging, automotive, electronics, and healthcare.
