The Approach of polymer materials in the packaging industries

As you know packaging industry is the biggest market of plastic materials in the world. This industry mostly uses commodity polymers. The reason of numerous consumption is the low price, resumption, comfort in processing, and high hygienic characteristics of these materials. Packaging have two main parts: Flexible and Hard. Flexible packaging such as all types of polymeric plastics like PP, HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, PVC and PET. Nowadays, the other kind of plastics are being produced by laminating with engineering polymers for special approach. Using plastics in production of plastic bags and replacing them with paper bags is very rich for environment, because avoid of cutting trees to produce papers. Product bags from polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene caused revolution in heavy items packaging alike cement, plaster, cereal, grain, flour, tar and etc. replacing these bags with paper bags has highly progressed this sector of the packaging industry. The other major sector of the packaging industry is the Hard packaging sector that includes a wide range of kind of bottles. Bottles, like PET bottles that are more economical choices than glass bottles.

 Materials that used for packaging include PET, PE, PP, etc. that have highly advanced the packaging industry to new horizons.
